		<description><![CDATA[The investment performance of the agriculture sector can be monitored via a number of devices and measures that track the performance of traditional investment assets such as quoted equities, as well as a range of measures that reflect price movements in alternative investment assets within the agriculture space such as farmland.

In reality, the agriculture sector as a whole relies on a combination of demand for its products, weighed against agricultural productivity. When demand for food, livestock feed and biofuels is high then soft-commodity prices rise, as is also the case when poor productivity creates the same widening of the gap between supply and demand. On the other hand, if demand falls back, or bumper harvests create an oversupply of produce, prices fall.

If one is able to gain an understanding of current productivity and demand dynamics, then one is best able to predict the true performance of the sector as a whole.

The performance of agricultural equities alone - as measured by agricultural indices - does not truly reflect the state of fundamentals that support the sector.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are like most people, your initial reaction to the question posed by the title to this white paper is "no." However, for many investors, the answer is "yes." With all of the investment options available today, many investors are intimidated, confused and frustrated by the investment process. Recent studies also support the suggestion that many investors are perfect targets for investment fraud or already are victims of investment fraud. For instance,



A recent study by Schwab Institutional found that 75% of investor portfolios were unsuitable for investors given their financial situation and goals;



A recent study by CEG Worldwide concluded that over 94% of those holding themselves out as wealth managers were more product salesman than wealth manager;



The 2010 IPT Elder Investor Fraud Survey reported that investment fraud is the number crime against the elderly, affecting an estimated 7.3 million older Americans, or one out of every five senior citizens.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pension schemes approved by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs are called EFRBS HMRC in the U.K. Essentially; there are no restrictions on where these funds can be invested. Unlike other schemes that have binding strictures on where to put in your money, the EFRBS HMRC offers individual investors the freedom and liberty to select alternatives for parking their investments.

Most pension schemes available in Britain also have limitations on the amount of money that can be put in.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a Socially Responsible Investment manager the most common question we hear from potential clients is "and adviser told me that socially responsible investing isn't profitable" versus non-screened portfolio management. In general the adviser providing the dogmatic opinion does not offer any foundation for their opinion but this is their chance to influence the potential client especially if they cannot offer an Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) option for the investor. Unless you have a few arrows of your own in your quiver you may be quite likely shrug your shoulders and resign yourself to an non-screened portfolio versus a clean portfolio.

Probably due to the fact that I'm over 50 now with a repellent view of hyperbole and unsubstantiated opinions I have been uncomfortable with opposite view as well: socially responsible investing improves rate of return.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people enter the investment arena thinking that "Risk" is a board game they played in college. Today, I would guess that the majority of investors have never owned an individual share of common stock or a Municipal Bond.

The popularity of investment products has heightened the risk for all investors and has indirectly led to many of the policy errors that threaten both capitalism and the economic fabric of America. Market prices are increasingly and inappropriately influenced by decision-making based only on the derivatives that contain them.

Few people consider the investment risk associated with public policy decisions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a startup company, Angel Investors can be considered the entrepreneur's best friend, their saving grace, their answer to a prayer. Some say they are called "angels" because they are an answer to the entrepreneur's prayer for money to get their business launched, or to respond to accelerated growth, or to bridge the capital divide and reach profitability.

Angels are the financial fuel of the economy. Before Venture Capitalists get involved, before banks will loan a company an unsecured note; Angel Investors provide the capital that fuels the entrepreneurial spirit and helps inventions become products and ideas become reality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have money that you want to optimize your rate of return or have the most gain while maintaining some diversification, where should you invest it? These are funds that you do NOT anticipate needing in the next five years or more. They may be in your IRA, your retirement account, brokerage, or other type of savings account.

In general you might invest in commodities, real estate, fixed income, or stocks.

Stocks or equities still offer tremendous upside and will probably provide higher returns than commodities, real estate, or fixed income over the next 5 years.

Fixed income is any investment where the terms of what an investor receives is fixed by a legal contract. Examples of fixed income include government bonds, bank certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, annuities, and guaranteed insurance contracts.]]></description>

Though the premium collection has slowed down in early 2009 to some extent but it has been gaining pace with overall healthy market sentiments.

		<description><![CDATA[Today's topic is a bit more 201 then 101 for subject matter, but good nonetheless for real estate investors of any experience level. You see, there are two basic types of private money investments: deal specific and what I call time period specific. And each has its own thorns to avoid.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that U.S. stocks make up only 42% of the value of all the planet's equity markets? Yet, the average American investor still allocates ~72% of their stock portfolio to U.S. stocks!

Economists call this preference for investing close to home a "home bias."

An extreme example was shown in an academic study from the 1980s.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Raising capital for a start-up, corporation in expansion mode or a company in virtually any position presents it's challenges and roadblocks. There has been no period in recent history that can simulate the difficulties that current entrepreneurs and executives are having when trying to achieve the procurement of venture capital. The standards have become more stringent and the cross-collateralization of personal and corporate assets as security for loans has virtually become a mandatory prerequisite for any type of funding, equity or loan based.

When initiating the process of raising capital one should take into consideration the use of a combination of funding options such as but not limited to: traditional venture capital, bank institutional, institutional equity investment, hedge fund lenders, private money lending, angel equity and loan investment, a private placement memorandum as the mechanism for raising capital distributed in shares, international equity based funding, the reality of taking your small business public on the OTCBB and many other concepts of capital raising that can be placed into a simultaneous strategy.

It's a common mistake among entrepreneurs and executives to place all of their attention and time into one singular aspect of the above funding concepts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're trying to raise capital there are regulations set forth by the SEC to make sure everyone is conducting business ethically and in a way that can keep one accountable for their actions if fraud takes place. Regulation D Rule exemptions 504, 505 and 506 offer solid fund-raising capabilities that can handle most investment needs. Companies typically hire a consulting firm to author these documents and within 30 days you're off and running and talking to investors; that is, of course talking to investors while staying within the boundaries of Rule 502c which dictates the guidelines for solicitation which means no active promotion of the issuance of your securities.

This basically means that unless you have a bunch of millionaire friends, you're no better off now than you were before the PPM was created.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Private equity is a term that has developed over the 20th Century during various boom and bust cycles, and with this came the terming of various asset classes - namely the various kinds of private equity investment. Under this broad heading two major sub sectors came about in the form of leveraged buyouts and venture capital.

The first era of the private equity age came about from 1946 through to 1981, which saw relatively low levels of private equity investment - where the term still did not mean a great deal to the vast majority of investors. What is known as the First Boom and Bust Cycle took place from 1982 to 1993, which saw a large increase in leveraged buyouts climaxing in the huge buyout of the RJR Nabisco.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much has been accomplished since the early days of modern microfinance when NGOs and organizations such as Grameen Bank started lending to industrious, but poor, communities in Bangladesh. The sector now touches well over 100 million people worldwide and boasts a total loan portfolio in excess of US$40bn. Although significant growth was originally catalyzed by grant-led initiatives, such scale would likely not have been possible without the participation of commercial capital.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Making your business attractive for private equity funding is not as easy as many businessmen think it to be. Contrary to popular belief, making investors bite takes more than just pitching a good idea, and then waiting until they send cash your way. It may even take years before a company can become "investment ready."

Here are a few guidelines for those who are hoping to attract private equity investment for their companies:
