I'm not sure about this bit:
> As I get to grow compound interest on my money, I will come out much better in the long term.
You will pay the capital gains tax rate either way. Either when you buy 15% less additional shares, or when you sell them at the end and pay the 15% then.
If you start with 15% less and compound it, you still end with 15% less.
(15% is just an example)
You might be placing a bet that at some point in the future there will be a reduction the capital gains rate, but, as far as I can see, you are not earning more due to compounding.
