- Introduction To Exchange Traded Funds (etfs)
By: Ranju Kumar | - An Exchange Traded Fund (or ETF for short) trades on stock exchanges just the like any other stock. ETFs are usually linked to a stock, bond or commodity index. The underlying basis for an ETF is that it is backed by assets in the same proportion as the index to which it is linked. This process is known as replicating the index.
Some stock-index ETFs undertake "representative sampling", in which case the ETF comprises of the key stocks which represent the index. The ETF price ther ...

- Hedge Funds. What Are They?
By: Tug Search | - Hedge funds have been around since the fifties but only grew in popularity in the 1960s. With big names like George Soros and Michael Steinhardt, fund management gained a high profile within the investment community and beyond. During this time, what didn't gain quite the exposure was what a hedge fund actually did.
Hedge funds are very similar to mutual funds except for fewer regulations and therefore can invest in a broad range of investments including shares, debt, commodities ...

- Hedge Funds: An Under The Radar Crisis
By: Steve Selengut | - The other day, with the market giving up about a third of its March gain in DJIA points, I went looking through my favorite market stats to see if any remaining profits could be pounced upon. Typically, profit possibilities can be identified quickly on NYSE lists of the largest dollar and percent gainers.
Alarmingly, 75% of the largest percent gainers were ETFs, and many of those operate using the same strategies as classic hedge funds--- most owned no common stock at all! At the ...

- Protecting Your Savings Income Through Bonds
By: Anjitha Sakthidharan | - Corporate bonds prices and interest rates are closely connected because the former is bound to go up if the latter undergoes any substantial cuts. Hence investing in corporate bonds when interest rates are slashed substantially is a smart move for those who are looking for strong returns on investment.
At a time when interest rates are touching them bottom corporate bonds are paying a handsome rate of 7% or above before tax. The rate of interest is determined by the profitabili ...

By: Best Refinancing | - Subprime mortgages are loans made to people with less than pristine credit. Its a code word for those of us who have some sort of credit issue in our past and dont make the cut as a prime borrower. For several years now, subprime borrowers have been getting subprime loans, which mean loans with substantially higher interest rates than prime borrowers. In other words, the shakier your credit the more expensive your loan will be - and to some degree, the more difficult to make payments ...

By: ryan crown | - A Growth Mutual Fund is more risky to be invested upon compared to an ordinary Mutual Fund but the premium or dividend that is derived is much higher then what is obtained from a normal Mutual Fund.

That is when the Stock Market undergoes losses the value and price of the Fund falls rapidly compared to other Funds and similarly when the Market hits a high the price of the fund shoots up.

- Recession Investing And The Housing Market
By: Bill Byrnes | - Why could the U.S. be heading into a recession? The most likely reason is the housing market- a multi-faceted subject. There's the new home building sector.
It's important because it employs so many people, not just in construction but, by extension, in the industries that supply materials to the homebuilders - lumber, concrete, appliances, and even retailers like Home Depot.
Think about all the "stuff" that goes into a home and how much you buy when you move. ...

- Do Lifestyle Funds Provide Greater Security?
By: Ulli G.Niemann | - With the stock market stubbornly refusing to settle down and smooth out, Wall Street has been scrambling to come up with "product" they can sell to gun shy investors.

- Speculate For Growth, Not For Income
By: Bill Byrnes | - There's an old adage in the brokerage community that you should speculate for growth, not for income. Speculation isn't the right word, but the broker who coined it (pun intended) probably wasn't an English major (most brokers aren't).
The point is that you should take risk with investments which you expect to increase in value, i.e., stocks, but not with investments made to generate current income, i.e., fixed income securities. This is an essential maxim if you are dependent ...

- Yielding To Real Estate Investment Trusts (reits)
By: Bill Byrnes | - Income is hard to come by these days. Treasuries are yielding less than 5%. The bond market is in disarray, credit spreads are widening (meaning the price of existing bonds is declining) and there are serious liquidity issues (which also impact value).
Have you considered Real Estate mutual funds? Many have current yields in the 5-8% range (primarily REIT-Real Estate Investment Trust-funds). Now, let's be clear on this. These are equity funds and equity funds carry greater ...

- Portfolio Turnover: Should You Care?
By: Bill Byrnes | - One of the mantras of mutual fund investing is to look at a fund's turnover before you buy it. The implication is that a high turnover is bad. (Turnover is the percentage of a funds holdings that are traded during a year. Funds can have a turnover greater than 100%, which means that their average holding period per investment is less than one year.) Many mutual fund screening tools have portfolio turnover as one of their filters and you can usually find a fund's turnover (expressed as a perc ...

By: David Gass | - A debenture is an unsecured loan you offer to a company. The company does not give any collateral for the debenture, but pays a higher rate of interest to its creditors.

- Why You Should Avoid Load Mutual Funds (part 2)
By: Michael Saville | - Copyright 2006 Michael Saville
Paying a load is akin to throwing away most or all of the supposed advantage you get from having a salesman choose a fund for you. If it's true that asset allocation accounts for 95 percent of investment results over long periods of time, then only 5 percent is left over as a reward for having the "right" fund and the "right" manager. But even if a salesman could help you pick that "right" fund, paying him a commission of 5 percent wipes out the bene ...
