Stop Wasting Your Wealth in Mutual Funds: Separately Managed Accounts – The Smart Alternative

December 19, 2010 Mutual Funds No Comments

51rAnR3RCwL. SL160  Stop Wasting Your Wealth in Mutual Funds: Separately Managed Accounts   The Smart Alternative

Product Description
Are the 95 million Americans invested in mutual funds making a mistake? Will inherent problems in the fund industry keep investors from achieving their goals? “”Absolutely,”" says author and financial expert Don Wilkinson. “”Mutual funds are the road kill of American investing.”"

In Stop Wasting Your Wealth in Mutual Funds, Wilkinson throws passé investment strategy out the window to make room for the reality of a new era. According to Wilkinson, there’s a smart alternative to mutual funds-separately managed accounts, or SAMs.

In this brilliant how-to guide, Wilkinson explains that investors can gain and maintain wealth through a SAM, an individual basket of stocks or bonds. This new handbook shows how the average investor can now open a separate account for as little as $25,000-and have the account managed by a top institutional money manager through the investor’s financial advisor.

Stop Wasting Your Wealth in Mutual Funds proves to mainstream readers that they can invest like the super-rich and reap the myriad benefits of a SAM: reduced taxes, elimination of hidden fees, customized holdings, and potentially improved performance.

Packed with top-notch advice from a financial pro, Stop Wasting Your Wealth in Mutual Funds is the bible for investors seeking superior results with greater control. One of the most useful and thought-provoking investment books published this year.

Highlights In Stop Wasting Your Wealth in Mutual Funds, Don Wilkinson provides:

•Point-by-point comparisons of SAMs to mutual funds, outlining risks, benefits, and returns

•A user-friendly process for opening, customizing, and switching to a separate account from mutual funds

•A comprehensive list of financial advisors for fledgling investors

•Ways to find advisors who handle separate accounts for clients

Product Description
When Susie Vaccaro Hardeman tried to open a brokerage account in a young neighbor’s name as thanks for a favor, she was shocked that brokerages, bookstores, and libraries couldn’t deliver a single primer for young students or anyone of any age, for that matter, who is interested in learning stock market basics. And so she spent the next year researching, interviewing, and talking with hundreds of people, compiling the fundamentals needed in order to make a foray onto Wall Street. In this colorful and easy-to-use guide, you’ll find answers to questions such as What is liquidity? What determines the price of a stock? What is a day trader, and are there night traders? plus many, many more. With friendly illustrations lighting your way, you’ll soon be navigating the world of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds with confidence and ease.
