  19. Types of investments Low Risk Medium Risk Higher Risk • Savings Accounts Money Market Account - A deposit account held at a bank or other financial institution that provides principal security and a modest interest rate. (0.06 – 1% )interest rate • Certificate of Deposits - A certificate of deposit is a promissory note issued by a bank. It is a time deposit that restricts holders from withdrawing funds on demand. Although it is still possible to withdraw the money, this action will often incur a penalty. (.30 – 2.05%) • Bonds Grouped under the general category called fixed-income securities, the term bond is commonly used to refer to any securities that are founded on debt. When you purchase a bond, you are lending out your money to a company or government. In return, they agree to give you interest on your money and eventually pay you back the amount you lent out.  (0.04 – 3.68%) • Mutual Funds A mutual fund is a collection of stocks and bonds. When you buy a mutual fund, you are pooling your money with a number of other investors, which enables you (as part of a group) to pay a professional manager to select specific securities for you. Mutual funds are all set up with a specific strategy in mind, and their distinct focus can be nearly anything: large stocks, small stocks, bonds from governments, bonds from companies, stocks and bonds, stocks in certain industries, stocks in certain countries, etc.  (Average of 12% since 1926).

  20. Types of Investments • 401k-tax deferred retirement account that employers set up for employees to set aside pre-tax dollars. Employers sometimes match the employee investment. 17.5 contribution limit for 2009. • IRA - An individual retirement account that allows individuals to direct pretax income, up to specific annual limits, toward investments that can grow tax-deferred (no capital gains or dividend income is taxed). Individual taxpayers are allowed to contribute 100% of compensation up to a specified maximum dollar amount to their Traditional IRA. Contributions to the Traditional IRA may be tax-deductible depending on the taxpayer's income, tax-filing status and other factors.Other variants of the IRA include the Roth IRA, SIMPLE IRA and SEP IRA. • Stocks When you purchase stocks, or equities, you become a part owner of the business. This entitles you to vote at the shareholders' meeting and allows you to receive any profits that the company allocates to its owners. These profits are referred to as dividends.  Low Risk Medium Risk Higher Risk
