  12. The Rule of 72 • The Rule of 72 can be used to determine how long it takes your investment to double. $10,000 invested at 8% interest doubles to $20,000 in 9 years. 72/8 = 9 years.

  13. Asset Allocation • Asset Allocation Involves 1. Dividing your investments among asset classes 2. Selecting securities within asset classes • Three Major Asset Classes 1. Cash equivalents - savings, CDs, T-bills, money markets 2. Bonds or Fixed Income Securities - Corporate, Municipal, Short Term (1-3 years), Intermediate Term (3-10 years), Long Term (10+ years). 3. Stocks or Equities

  14. Cash Equivalents • Certificate of Deposits (CDs) When you fund a bank CD, you expect to get your investment principal back, at a specified time, plus the interest rate is has earned. Typically 6 months – 5 years. Penalty for early withdrawal. • U.S. Treasury Bill (T-bills) Short term investment instrument. Protection against inflation. Safe. • Money Market Account Better interest rates than savings. Instant access. Some check writing privileges. FDIC insured. • Savings Accounts

  15. Bonds • Bonds are essentially “IOUs” for money loaned by an investor to the bond’s issuer. Bondholders are creditors. • In return for the use of that money, the investor typically receives regular interest income along with the promise that the loan will be repaid at a designated “maturity” date. • There are many types of bonds — corporate, government, municipal, etc.— each bringing different benefits, risks, and tax considerations to an investor’s portfolio.

  16. Stocks • Stocks represent ownership shares in a publicly traded company. This ownership represents “equity” in the company. • When you buy shares of a stock, you own a part of the company. As a shareholder, your investment may rise or fall with the price of the stock. Your investment may also appreciate over time as the value of a company appreciates. • Stocks come in all shapes and sizes: Large capitalization (cap) companies (>$5 B), Mid-cap ($1.5-$5 B). Small cap (<$1.5 B); Domestic; International; Growth; Value.

  17. Mutual funds • By definition, mutual funds are diversified. Each fund owns multiple shares of stocks, bonds, or whatever it specializes in. • When you invest in a mutual fund, you’re part of a team of investors whose assets are managed by a professional fund manager who decides what to buy and sell. • “Loads” are fees associated with buying and selling shares of a fund. Fees can be “front end” (when you buy), “back end” (when you sell) or “no load” (no direct fee, but costs are included in management expense ratio).

  18. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) • IRAs are personal retirement accounts that give you tax incentives for participating. • Three types: (1) Roth, (2) Traditional deductible and (3) Traditional non-deductible. • (1) Roth IRAs earnings are tax free if the account is open at least 5 years. $10k can be withdrawn for first home purchase, medical expenses or college tuition without 10% penalty before age 59½. No mandatory withdrawal age. • (2&3) Both traditional IRAs are tax deferred. No tax on earnings until you withdraw. Mandatory at age 70½. • Multiple investment options available: stocks, bonds, funds, etc. • 2005-2007 limit: $4,000/year. $5000 in 2008.
