MUTUAL FUNDS A WONDERFUL WAY TO INVEST YOUR MONEY...
MUTUAL FUNDS
The Definition
A mutual fund is nothing more than a
collection of stocks and/or bonds. You
can think of a mutual fund as a company
that brings together a group of people and
invests their money in stocks, bonds, and
other securities. Each investor owns
shares, which represent a portion of the
holdings of the fund.
You can make money from a mutual fund
in three ways:
1) Income is earned from dividends on
stocks and interest on bonds.
1. A fund pays out nearly all of the income
it receives over the year to fund owners in
the form of a distribution.
2) If the fund sells securities that have
increased in price, the fund has a capital
gain. Most funds also pass on these gains
to investors in a distribution.
3) If fund holdings increase in price but
are not sold by the fund manager, the
fund's shares increase in price. You can
then sell your mutual fund shares for a
profit.
Funds will also usually give you a choice
either to receive a check for distributions
or to reinvest the earnings and get more
shares.
Advantages of Mutual Funds:
• Professional Management - The primary
advantage of funds (at least theoretically)
is the professional management of your
money. Investors purchase funds
because they do not have the time or the
expertise to manage their own portfolios.
A mutual fund is a relatively inexpensive
way for a small investor to get a full-time
manager to make and monitor
investments.
• Diversification - By owning shares in a
mutual fund instead of owning individual
stocks or bonds, your risk is spread out.
The idea behind diversification is to invest
in a large number of assets so that a loss
in any particular investment is minimized
by gains in others. In other words, the
more stocks and bonds you own, the less
any one of them can hurt you (think about
Enron). Large mutual funds typically own
hundreds of different stocks in many
different industries. It wouldn't be
possible for an investor to build this kind
of a portfolio with a small amount of
money.
• Economies of Scale - Because a mutual
fund buys and sells large amounts of
securities at a time, its transaction costs
are lower than what an individual would
pay for securities transactions.
• Liquidity - Just like an individual stock, a
mutual fund allows you to request that
your shares be converted into cash at any
time.
• Simplicity - Buying a mutual fund is easy!
Pretty well any bank has its own line of
mutual funds, and the minimum
investment is small. Most companies also
have automatic purchase plans whereby
as little as $100 can be invested on a
monthly basis.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF FUNDS
No matter what type of investor you are,
there is bound to be a mutual fund that
fits your style. According to the last count
there are more than 10,000 mutual funds
in North America! That means there are
more mutual funds than stocks.
It's important to understand that each
mutual fund has different risks and
rewards. In general, the higher the
potential return, the higher the risk of
loss. Although some funds are less risky
than others, all funds have some level of
risk - it's never possible to diversify away
all risk. This is a fact for all investments.
Each fund has a predetermined
investment objective that tailors the
fund's assets, regions of investments and
investment strategies. At the fundamental
level, there are three varieties of mutual
funds:
1) Equity funds (stocks)
2) Fixed-income funds (bonds)
3) Money market funds
All mutual funds are variations of these
three asset classes. For example, while
equity funds that invest in fast-growing
companies are known as growth funds,
equity funds that invest only in companies
of the same sector or region are known
as specialty funds.
Let's go over the many different flavors of
funds. We'll start with the safest and then
work through to the more risky.
Money Market Funds
The money market consists of short-term
debt instruments, mostly Treasury bills.
This is a safe place to park your money.
You won't get great returns, but you won't
have to worry about losing your principal.
A typical return is twice the amount you
would earn in a regular checking/savings
account and a little less than the average
certificate of deposit (CD).
Bond/Income Funds
Income funds are named appropriately:
their purpose is to provide current
income on a steady basis. When referring
to mutual funds, the terms
"fixed-income," "bond," and "income"
are synonymous.
These terms denote funds that invest
primarily in government and corporate
debt. While fund holdings may appreciate
in value, the primary objective of these
funds is to provide a steady cashflow to
investors. As such, the audience for
these funds consists of conservative
investors and retirees.
Bond funds are likely to pay higher
returns than certificates of deposit and
money market investments, but bond
funds aren't without risk. Because there
are many different types of bonds, bond
funds can vary dramatically depending on
where they invest.
For example, a fund specializing in
high-yield junk bonds is much more risky
than a fund that invests in government
securities. Furthermore, nearly all bond
funds are subject to interest rate risk,
which means that if rates go up the value
of the fund goes down.
Balanced Funds
The objective of these funds is to provide
a balanced mixture of safety, income and
capital appreciation. The strategy of
balanced funds is to invest in a
combination of fixed income and equities.
A typical balanced fund might have a
weighting of 60% equity and 40% fixed
income. The weighting might also be
restricted to a specified maximum or
minimum for each asset class.
A similar type of fund is known as an
asset allocation fund. Objectives are
similar to those of a balanced fund, but
these kinds of funds typically do not have
to hold a specified percentage of any
asset class. The portfolio manager is
therefore given freedom to switch the
ratio of asset classes as the economy
moves through the business cycle.
Equity Funds
Funds that invest in stocks represent the
largest category of mutual funds.
Generally, the investment objective of this
class of funds is long-term capital growth
with some income. There are, however,
many different types of equity funds
because there are many different types of
equities. A great way to understand the
universe of equity funds is to use a style
box, an example of which is below.
Buying and Selling mutual funds
You can buy some mutual funds (no-load)
by contacting the fund companies
directly. Other funds are sold through
brokers, banks, financial planners, or
insurance agents. If you buy through a
third party there is a good chance they'll
hit you with a sales charge (load).
That being said, more and more funds
can be purchased through no-transaction
fee programs that offer funds of many
companies.
Sometimes referred to as a "fund
supermarket," this service lets you
consolidate your holdings and record
keeping, and it still allows you to buy
funds without sales charges from many
different companies. Popular examples
are Schwab's OneSource, Vanguard's
FundAccess, and Fidelity's FundsNetwork.
Many large brokerages have similar
offerings.
Selling a fund is as easy as purchasing
one. All mutual funds will redeem (buy
back) your shares on any business day. In
the United States, companies must send
you the payment within seven days.
The Value of Your Fund
Net asset value (NAV), which is a fund's
assets minus liabilities, is the value of a
mutual fund. NAV per share is the value of
one share in the mutual fund, and it is the
number that is quoted in newspapers.
You can basically just think of NAV per
share as the price of a mutual fund. It
fluctuates everyday as fund holdings and
shares outstanding change.
When you buy shares, you pay the current
NAV per share plus any sales front-end
load. When you sell your shares, the fund
will pay you NAV less any back-end load.
Finding Funds
The Mutual Fund Education Alliance™ is
the not-for-profit trade association of the
no-load mutual fund industry. They have a
tool for searching for no-load funds
CONCLUSION
A mutual fund brings together a group of
people and invests their money in stocks,
bonds, and other securities.
The advantages of mutuals are
professional management,
diversification, economies of scale,
simplicity and liquidity.
The disadvantages of mutuals are high
costs, over-diversification, possible tax
consequences, and the inability of
management to guarantee a superior
return.
There are many, many types of mutual
funds. You can classify funds based on
asset class, investing strategy, region,
etc.
Mutual funds have lots of costs.
Costs can be broken down into ongoing
fees (represented by the expense ratio)
and transaction fees (loads).
The biggest problems with mutual funds
are their costs and fees.
Mutual funds are easy to buy and sell. You
can either buy them directly from the fund
company or through a third party.
Mutual fund ads can be very deceiving.
MUTUAL FUNDS CAN BE PURCHASED AT
ALMOST EVERY BROKERAGE FIRM AND
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

6 Things You Should Never Reveal on Facebook
The whole social networking phenomenon has millions of Americans sharing their photos, favorite songs and details about their class reunions on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Tagged and dozens of similar sites. But there are a handful of personal details that you should never say if you don't want criminals — cyber or otherwise — to rob you blind. ------------------------------KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL.COM
You can certainly enjoy networking and sharing photos, but you should know that sharing some information puts you at risk. What should you never say or reveal on any social networking site?
1. Your Birth Date and Place Sure, you can say what day you were born, but if you provide the year and where you were born too, you've just given identity thieves a key to stealing your financial life, said Givens. A study done by Carnegie Mellon showed that a date and place of birth could be used to predict most — and sometimes all — of the numbers in your Social Security number
2. Home Address Do I have to elaborate? A study recently released by the Ponemon Institute found that users of Social Media sites were at greater risk of physical and identity theft because of the information they were sharing. Some 40% listed their home address on the sites; 65% didn't even attempt to block out strangers with privacy settings. And 60% said they weren't confident that their "friends" were really just people they know.
3. Confessionals You may hate your job; lie on your taxes; or be a recreational user of illicit drugs, but this is no place to confess. Employers commonly peruse social networking sites to determine who to hire — and, sometimes, who to fire. Need proof? You better not doing it...
4. Password Clues If you've got online accounts, you've probably answered a dozen different security questions, telling your bank or brokerage firm your Mom's maiden name; the church you were married in; or the name of your favorite song. Got that same stuff on the information page of your Facebook profile? You're giving crooks an easy way to guess your passwords.
5. Risky Behaviors You take your classic Camaro out for street racing, soar above the hills in a hang glider, or smoke like a chimney? Insurers are increasingly turning to the web to figure out whether their applicants and customers are putting their lives or property at risk, So far, there's no efficient way to collect the data, so cancellations and rate hikes are rare. But the technology is fast.
6. Vacation Plans
There may be a better way to say "Rob me, please" than posting something along the lines of: "Count-down to Maui! Two days and Ritz Carlton, here we come!" on Twitter. But it's hard to think of one. Post the photos on Facebook when you return, if you like. But don't invite criminals in by telling them specifically when you'll be gone. KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL.COM

''10 PLACES NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE
DEBIT CARDS:--
Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Mutual Fund!!-- Why You Should Buy a Mutual Fund?
1. Mutual Funds Offer Diversification
The beauty of a mutual fund is that you can buy a mutual fund and obtain instant
access to a hundreds of individual stocks or bonds. Otherwise, in order to diversify
your portfolio, you might have to buy individual securities, which exposes you to more
potential volatility.
--------------------
2. Mutual Funds are Professionally Managed
Many investors don’t have the resources or the time to buy individual stocks. Investing
in individual securities, such as stocks, not only takes resources, but a considerable
amount of time. By contrast, mutual fund managers and analysts wake up each
morning dedicating their professional lives to researching and analyzing current and
potential holdings for their mutual fund.
-----------------------
3. Mutual Funds Come in Many Varieties
A mutual fund comes in many types and styles. There are stock funds, bond funds,
sector funds, target-date mutual funds, money market mutual funds and balanced
funds. Mutual funds allow you to invest in the market whether you believe in active
portfolio management (actively managed funds) or you prefer to buy a segment of the
market with no interference from a manager (passive funds and index mutual funds).
The availability of different types of mutual funds allows you to build a diversified
portfolio at low cost and without much difficulty.
4. Mutual Funds Have Low Minimums
Many mutual fund companies allow
investors to get started in a mutual fund with
as little as $1,000. Schwab’s mutual fund
family has a minimum of $100 for many of
their mutual funds.
5. Systematic Investing and Withdrawals
with Mutual Funds
It is simple to invest regularly in a mutual
fund. Many mutual fund companies allow
investors to invest as little as $50 per month
directly into a mutual fund. Money can be
pulled directly from a bank account and
invested directly in the mutual fund. On the
other hand, money can be regularly
withdrawn from a mutual fund and be
deposited into a bank account. There are
generally no fees for this service.
6. Mutual Funds Offer Automatic
Reinvestment
An investor can easily and automatically
have capital gains and dividends reinvested
into their mutual fund without a sales load or
extra fees.
7. Mutual Funds Offer Transparency
Mutual fund holdings are publicly available
(with some delays in reporting), which
ensures that investors are getting what they
pay for.
8. Mutual Funds Are Liquid
If you want to sell your mutual fund, the
proceeds from the sale are available the day
after you sell the mutual fund.
9.Mutual Funds Have Audited Track Records
A mutual fund company must maintain
performance track records for each mutual
fund and have them audited for accuracy,
which ensures that investors can trust the
mutual fund’s stated returns.
10. Safety of Investing in Mutual Funds
If a mutual fund company goes out of
business, mutual fund shareholders receive
an amount of cash that equals their portion
of ownership in the mutual fund.
Alternatively, the mutual fund’s Board of
Directors might elect a new investment
advisor to manage the mutual fund.

7 Things Not To Do, Or To Stop Doing Now on Facebook, Myspace, & Tagged. ------------------KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL.COM 1. Using a Weak Password
Avoid simple names or words you can find in a dictionary, even with numbers tacked on the end. Instead, mix upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. A password should have at least eight characters. One good technique is to insert numbers or symbols in the middle of a word.
2. Leaving Your Full Birth Date in Your Profile
It's an ideal target for identity thieves, who could use it to obtain more information about you and potentially gain access to your bank or credit card account. If you've already entered a birth date, go to your profile page and click on the Info tab, then on Edit Information. Under the Basic Information section, choose to show only the month and day or no birthday at all.
3. Overlooking Useful Privacy Controls --KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL.COM
For almost everything in your Facebook profile, you can limit access to only your friends, friends of friends, or yourself. Restrict access to photos, birth date, religious views, and family information, among other things.
You can give only certain people or groups access to items such as photos, or block particular people from seeing them. Consider leaving out contact info, such as phone number and address, since you probably don't want anyone to have access to that information anyway.
4. Posting Your Child's Name in a Caption --KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL.COM
Don't use a child's name in photo tags or captions. If someone else does, delete it by clicking on Remove Tag. If your child isn't on Facebook and someone includes his or her name in a caption, ask that person to remove the name.
5. Mentioning That You'll Be Away From Home That's like putting a "no one's home" sign on your door. Wait until you get home to tell everyone how awesome your vacation was and be vague about the date of any trip.
6. Letting Search Engines Find You ---KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL.COM
To help prevent strangers from accessing your page, go to the Search section of Facebook's privacy controls and select Only Friends for Facebook search results. Be sure the box for public search results isn't checked.
7. Permitting Youngsters to Use Facebook Unsupervised
Facebook limits its members to ages 13 and over, but children younger than that do use it. If you have a young child or teenager on Facebook, the best way to provide oversight is to become one of their online friends.
Use your e-mail address as the contact for their account so that you receive their notifications and monitor their activities. "What they think is nothing can actually be pretty serious," says a social networking expert, a supervisory special agent at the Internet Crime Complaint Center.
For example, a child who posts the comment "Mom will be home soon, I need to do the dishes" every day at the same time is revealing too much about the parents' regular comings and goings. ---KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL.COM About Twitter

A mutual fund is a professionally
managed type of collective investment
scheme that pools money from many
investors and invests typically in
investment securities (stocks, bonds,
short-term money market instruments.
Other mutual funds, other securities,
and/or commodities such as precious
metals).[1]
The mutual fund will have a fund manager
that trades (buys and sells) the fund's
investments in accordance with the
fund's investment objective.
In the U.S., a fund registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) under both SEC and Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) rules must
distribute nearly all of its net income and
net realized gains from the sale of
securities

What Are Index Mutual Funds?
Instead of hiring fund managers to actively select which stocks or bonds
the fund will hold, an index fund buys all (or a representative sample) of
the securities in a specific index, like the S&P 500 Index.
The goal of an index fund is to track the performance of a specific market
benchmark as closely as possible. That's why you may hear it referred to as
a "passively managed" fund.
Index funds offer built-in benefits
Low costs
Because index funds hold investments until the index itself changes, they generally have
lower management and transaction costs.
Index funds helps lower risk through
broader diversification
Some index funds give you exposure to potentially thousands of securities in a single fund.
Tax efficiency
Broad index funds generally don't trade as much as actively managed funds might, so
they're typically generating less taxable income, which reduces the drag on your
investments.

Mutual Funds:
Mutual funds can help lower investing risks
Take some of the anxiety out of investing by letting a mutual fund do a little of the work for
you.
Give your money a chance to grow
Investing in mutual funds offers benefits you won't get from trading individual stocks and
bonds on your own.

Less risk through more diversification
One mutual fund can invest in hundreds—sometimes thousands—of individual securities
at once. So if any one security does poorly, the others are there to help offset that risk.

managed by experts who take care of that for you.
Convenience
You can buy and sell mutual fund shares online or by phone and set up automatic
investments and withdrawals.
