Investing Investment Funds
Hi, I am a former financial planner in AIA, one of the larger insurance companies the world. A financial planner is in substance a salesman according to my experiences. And today I would like to tell you some facts about investing in mutual funds products. These kinds of products are getting more and more popular over the last few years. But in my opinion, many of these customers do not really need such a product. I'll explain the basic structures to you now.
These kinds of product are getting more and more popular because they can generate large sum of income. The investors believe that help them save and earn the sum of money for their needs like retirement, therefore they are willing to put in a large sum of money first. When an investor pays his payment to the insurance company, the company transfers the sum to the fund managers. Some platforms allow you to allocate your payments to several different funds. The insurance company is effectively breaking down the mutual fund units into smaller blocks so that small investors can participate. The fund managers gather the money and invest it on financial assets like stock. When they earn in buying and selling or the worth of the underlying assets increase, then the price of the fund unit rises accordingly. And on your account statement you will see increases in your account values.
The first cost you would be charged is for the guy who talked to you about this product you just signed. They are the ones who find the customers, persuade them or even deceive them into believing this is the product he has been finding. Insurance companies stand so firmly with indestructible cash flow all because of these great salespersons. And the companies are willing to give them the amount they worth to keep them motivated and keep the cash coming in. The company can pay out as much as fifty percent of all the payments in the first year of a policy as the commission for a sales person.
Next main cost of the product is for the insurance company or the bank. They would suck a small percentage out of the capital you invested into the fund every year, or even every month. The percentage may be small but as the apparent capital grow larger, it can become very frightening. Try computing the absolute amount that they took from you, it may freak you out.
The final man cost is given to the fund manager. Fund manager is the person who manages your capital. They invest the money on stocks or other assets depending on their policy. Usually, each fund has some particular characteristics like area focused or industry focus to give customers the desired options.
So now you know. You can go ahead and decide whether to answer the call from your 'personal financial planner' next time. God bless. - 23305
