casanovalui said: "hmmm i am looking for a fund.... something that is famous... high risk and can give the kick of the highest possible return (100% pa ... probably)... well of course i am willing to bear the possibility of loss in the investment.... I will have about $USD2.64Mill and 3 years time to invest... any suggestion? I have been browsing over the quantum fund and magnum fund... any other thing that is interesting? Thanks"

casanovalui said: "it's a pool of money from investors. Capital and certain percentage of return from the fund is guaranteed. We have a bank as a guarantor for that as big amt of $ is invested into mid term zero coupon bond. So the remaining of the fund will invest into high risk investment to get the kick for the fund... :)"

(I shouldn't post when I'm pissed at someone else for something unrelated). Then I read the line above and recognize that, considering your english, your lack of professionalism, and your vulgar tone, your investors are probably in big trouble if they're relying on you for advice."

It won't dissapoint. On the domestic side I own HDPMX, BRUFX, and CGMFX. It's all in the management. Holz."

thezster said: "Some funds have minimum buy-ins - and some have minimum buy-ins that are waived if you setup a regular deposit schedule to them. Some have up front fees that are deducted from your initial deposit - some have maintenance costs that are deducted during the year. If you buy into a fund through your broker - you have to keep the fund for at least 90 days or pay a withdrawal fee. Key word above is "some" - many have no fees at all and very low minimum initial investments."

holzie said: "Exactly, [B]thezster[/B] is right on this one. It sounds confusing but it is very very simple, which is why mutual funds are always recommended to novice and "passive" investors. In all honesty, "cheapest" funds are called no-fee-no- load, meaning you are paying nothing upfront to the fund or your broker. You should always consider the costs, especially [B]loads[/B] and [B]expense rations[/B]. As a rule of thumb, expense ratios over [B]2%[/B] are ridiculous and [B]front end loadover 5%[/B] as well. Usually domestic funds, even the good ones, have these in check. I must tell you though that this is all relative. As I mentioned above, my 2 biggest international mutual fund holdings are EUROX and LETRX, both being on the expensive side -- very expensive...but look at the consistency of their returns? I bought them in 2004 and they doubled my money. When I was buying them, they both had already a stellar records for 3 and 5 years. Beware of mutual funds that are expensive and barely beating the [B]respective index[/B] (percentage gain).You will have 90% of them like that. Stay away. On the domestic side I love something called "hybrid funds" like Hodges Fund (HDPMX). I also like Bruce Fund (BRUFX). Never consider a fund thatjust did great "this year". Always look at 3 years, then this year, and then 5 years..this will give you an idea how the managers will handle yorur money if the market doesnt do as well. Keep asking questions. Holz."
