Managed by a professional or a team of professionals for a fee 3. Created with a specific set of investment goals Then you answered correctly! If not, don't worry, that's exactly why we made this video. What is a mutual fund? Simply put, a mutual fund is a pool of money managed by a group of professionals in order to achieve specific investment goals. In other words there are people called mutual fund managers, who specialize in one specific area of the financial markets and then take their knowledge and organize a maximize profits given what they think is risk-appropriate. So when you buy a mutual fund, you are really just buying the service of the mutual fund manager. You are outsourcing very specific investment decisions. If you have a portfolio with many mutual funds (and thus many mutual fund managers), you are like a person purchasing a baseball team. You could try and play all the positions and you might even do well at it. But then again, why do that when you can hire people who are really good at just one position? That way the first baseman can focus on being really good at playing first base, and the pitcher can practice his curveballs. Similarly if you have a portfolio with mutual funds you are hiring people to look after certain areas of the markets for you. If you buy, say, a precious metals fund, a healthcare fund, and an energy fund, then you have <b>...</b>


]]> The Pension Fund Advantage: Are Canadians Overpaying their Mutual Funds? The institutional structure through which individuals accumulate retirement savings is an important issue. Ideally, it is expert and low-cost. This article compares the cost-effectiveness of the pension fund structure with the mutual fund structure. The authors hypothesize that the pension fund structure provides investment management services at lower cost because most mutual funds are conflicted between providing good financial results for their clients and good financial results for their shareholders. Specifically, they compare the investment performance of a sample of domestic fixed income portfolios of Canadian pension funds with those of a sample of Canadian fixed income mutual funds. They find an average performance differential of 1.8 percent per annum in favor of pension funds. This performance gap is approximately equal to the average cost differential between the two approaches. They conclude that high mutual fund fees significantly reduce the net returns of mutual fund investors.

The old-school retirement strategy for the middle class of finding a financial advisor, and developing a diversified portfolio of mutual funds for the long-term is dead. Over. Done. Kaput. (Good riddance!) Over the past three years, I've seen too many people in their 60's and 70's lose their ability to retire because the value of their nest-egg was tied to the stock market, and that's been an extremely valuable lesson learned.

]]> Learn About Annuities and its Benefits - Personal Finance Personal Finance: What is an Annuity? - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. A lot of people have heard about annuities and they are not really sure about them. Plus, there is a lot of controversy associated with annuities because in some respects they can be very very complex. But to simplify it, first of all, most annuities are sold by life insurance companies, so keep that in mind. But the two types of annuities are something called an immediate annuity and there is something called a deferred annuity. And the immediate annuity is you give the company a set amount of money. Let's say you give them $100000. They then come back and tell you how much they will pay you on a monthly basis for the rest of your life. Now, that is one option. So, a lot of times, people that are getting ready to retire and they have some investments and they are not comfortable managing them, they may opt to get an immediate annuity, because it is something where they know they are going to have a steady stream of income. And you can even purchase some with an inflation rider, which would help in the future as expenses change. There are other options with the immediate annuity. You can get it so that it is a period certain. Let's say you are retiring early and you have 10 years before you want to retire, or get Social Security, or get a pension, you could fund an immediate annuity for 10 years. Or, if you feel like, "My health is not that good. What if I die within 10 years? And then I am <b>...</b>


]]> How to Turn Your Dumb Summer Job Into $162000 In which John celebrates financial independence by explaining how minimum-wage summer jobs can become incredibly lucrative if only you save some of your money in a retirement account. In the US, the most common retirement accounts are called IRAs (IRAs have tax advantages), but any investment account will do. Just sock the money away in a low-fee diverse mutual fund, wait 50 years, and enjoy the magic of compound interest. Caveat: Obviously, I am not a financial advisor or investment professional. I am a novelist. Also, while it's a good idea to start an IRA in high school for most people, it may be a BAD idea if you're planning to seek financial aid from a private college in the US, because they might count your retirement savings against your financial aid application. (If you attend or will attend a public university, this is unlikely to happen according to my research, although again, I am a novelist, not a banker.)

]]> Managed Accounts - Full Service Brokerage In a managed account, you have an expert, a real pro, customizing your portfolio, diversifying your investments, even giving you individual tax planning. It's a lot like a mutual fund -- but you directly own the securities in your portfolio. Plus, you know the manager is guided at each step by the account's specific objective. But managed accounts weren't accessible... It used to require a big bag o'cash -- or roughly the price of a rapper's necklace -- just to invest. But the price of belonging keeps dropping. You can also consider mutual funds managed accounts or multi-manager accounts that include different asset classes and investment styles. Bottom line? Managed accounts come at a price -- but they combine the benefits of direct ownership, professional management, and diversification.
