MoneyWalk 35: Diversify Your Money, Part 6

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

In many instances, mutual funds are best for beginning investors for meeting the stock and bond allocations of your investment plan rather than trying to choose individual stocks and bonds. They offer automatic diversification within the fund due to the large number of investments that the fund purchases.

The historical track record of each fund compared against funds with similar investments will help you determine which funds to choose. Invest in funds that historically meet or exceed the industry earnings average. Mutual funds come as stock funds, bond funds, low risk investment funds, and hybrids containing a percentage of all three types of investment vehicles as well as other types of investment holdings such as real estate.

Choosing a no-load fund (one without a sales fee) is generally a better choice than choosing one with a sales fee up-front or at the time you cash out. Choose funds that charge accountholders less than 1% in total expenses annually. Finally, browse financial magazines and articles periodically to learn the current market jargon used by financial advisors to become familiar with the different types of investments, so you can make good investments in the right vehicles.

Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
