Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, American investors increasingly have turned to mutual funds to save for retirement and meet other financial goals. Mutual funds can offer the advantages of diversification and professional management. It pays to understand both the upside and the downside of mutual fund investing and how to choose products that match your goals and tolerance for risk. As with other investment choices, investing in mutual funds involves risk, fees, and taxes. This book explains the basics of mutual fund investing how mutual funds work, what factors to consider before investing, and how to avoid common pitfalls. Mutual funds are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. Even if you buy through a bank, and the fund carries the bank's name you can lose money investing in mutual funds. In addition, there are more than 10,000 mutual funds to choose from. Why should you consider investing in a mutual fund? One reason is simply the high potential returns. Many funds have earnings in the triple digits. This all sounds great, but what is the catch? There really is none, except you must know what you are doing! This book will provide everything you need to know to get you started generating high investment returns with low risk from start to finish. You will learn what mutual funds are, the various types and advantages of each, how to evaluate their risk against other types of investments, how to and how not to invest in them, how to allocate your assets, how to set up your account online, how to choose when to sell, and how to cash them in. You will pick up the language of mutual fund investing and what the lingo means to you: net asset value, load versus no load, turnover, expenses and total expense ratios, capitalization, share classes, growth versus value, dollar cost averaging and many more. We have also included a history of mutual funds (including their scandals), and we have disclosed the mysteries of documents you will encounter in mutual fund investing, such as their ratings, share classes, fees, annual reports, and indexes. We show you how to compare your fund to the competition, how to compare it to other types of investments, and how to compare various funds on an after-tax basis. We make it easy for you to grasp strategies for expanding your investments into different market sectors and among various classes of stocks, such as small and micro-cap stocks, mid cap and large cap companies, defensive stocks, and mixtures of stock types. You will develop your own expertise in reading the economy both nationally and globally, handling taxes, devising investment tactics for portfolio allocation whether interest rates are rising or falling, with down-to-earth instructions to help you bring in a high and steady income, all the while evading losses and downfalls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1940 few Americans had heard of mutual funds. Today U.S. mutual funds are the largest financial industry in the world, with over 88 million shareholders and over $11 trillion in assets.

Among these developments are: * formation of the first mutual funds in the roaring 20s * how the 1929 stock market crash, a disaster for most financial institutions, spurred the growth of mutual funds * establishment in 1934, over FDR's objection, of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the federal agency that regulates mutual funds * enactment of the Revenue Act of 1936, the tax law that saved mutual funds from extinction * passage of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the "constitution" of the mutual fund industry * the creation in 1972 of money market funds, which totally changed the mutual fund industry and the entire U.S. financial system *enactment of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, which created Individual Retirement Accounts * the accidental development of 401(k) plans, which have revolutionized the way Americans save for retirement * the 2003 trading abuses, the greatest scandal ever in the history of the mutual fund industry Many events have never been discussed in detail; others have been discussed in works on other subjects. This is the first book that pulls together the many strands of mutual funds' unique history, written by an expert who draws on forty years of personal experience in the fund industry.

Download or read book Master the Markets with Mutual Funds written by Jon R. Orcutt and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master the Markets with Mutual Funds: A Common Sense Guide to Investing Success "Master the Markets with Mutual Funds: A Common Sense Guide to Investing Success" is a groundbreaking investment guide for investors of all levels. The book is refreshing because it was written by an author that has seen and heard it all from investors. The confusing terminology is set aside, and the author, Jon R. Orcutt, speaks to the reader with the same "common sense" approach he used as a successful financial advisor for over 15 years. The reader will quickly realize they are not reading your standard boring "How To" book. Emotional investing is one of the biggest obstacles to successful investing. Jon challenges the reader to look in the mirror and recognize if they are too emotional when it comes to their financial decisions. Real-life examples are provided of how the media, the firms, and some financial advisors prey on this type of investor. From a comical view of historical Time magazine covers, to taking direct aim at the false messages being told on Wall Street; Jon does an excellent job of providing the simple truth about investing. Every investment book claims to provide strategies on how to build wealth. What makes this book different is that Jon's investment success came from his early understanding that he had no right to try and guess with his client's money and financial future. The results provided some of the most stunning returns over the last decade. The period 2000-2009 has often been referred to as the "Lost Decade" because the S&P 500 index finished the decade down 9%. However, the strategy outlined in this book finished the same period up 144%. The strategy is simple, easy to understand, and is built around 14 mutual funds. What really gives the reader an "aha" moment is when Jon illustrates that when he throws out the 14 mutual funds he personally uses and replaces them with 28 completely different and randomly selected mutual funds that the three different portfolios provided virtually identical returns for the supposed "Lost Decade." Learning about asset allocation and leaving your emotions behind is the story behind the strategy's success. The book concludes with an interesting inside look at the role of the financial advisor and a detailed view of how the major firms have always fed off of the emotional investor. No other book has been written specifically for the average American investor. Jon sat with thousands of these investors, looked them in their eyes and understands the fears that they exhibit. He understands how these emotions have impacted investor's returns and left an entire generation wondering when they can retire. The pattern will continue unless individual investors learn to look at themselves in the mirror and decide to make their own changes. This book and Jon will help with that process by educating and inspiring the reader to make the necessary changes.
