		<description><![CDATA[American investors lost trillions of dollars as a result of the bear markets of 2000-2002 and 2008. As a result of such losses, mutual funds companies are beginning to offer so-called absolute return mutual funds. The goal of an absolute returns strategy is to achieve, positive, more consistent returns under all market conditions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some investors believed that from the period of 1982-2000 it was their "right" to earn 10% every single year in their investment portfolios without any identifiable risk. After the 2001-2003 bear market that mentality returned. People have short memories and suffered again in the period of October 2007-March 2009.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most Middle Eastern countries in the Persian Gulf and around the Mediterranean have signed Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) with European countries, in particular, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and, to a lesser extent, Spain and the United Kingdom. These treaties aim to protect foreign investments from arbitrary expropriation and provide for dispute settlement procedures if these are required. Dispute settlement can involve the two signatory states only, but also empower private companies to have recourse to investor-to-state international legal arbitration.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Trustee Act 2000 makes it clear that trustees are required to obtain and consider investment advice from a person they consider qualified to give it. This makes a great deal of sense but how does it work in practice?

The first job of the Investment Adviser is to help the trustees to prepare an Investment Policy Statement. This statement is intended to clearly identify what the proposed investment is required to achieve, over what time period, and how performance will be assessed in the future.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For an intending entrepreneur, especially one who is planning to start his own business take off and grow, life insurance is a policy he may consider buying. The reason is that life insurance goes beyond the primary reason to protect ones dependent against the loss of your income or services, (death settlement); it also helps a person to plan for his future. Of course, life insurance has various products with savings and investment targets.

To many, insurance is about paying a regular premium to the insurance company in order to get compensation whenever a loss occurs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Choosing an asset allocation, or the mix of stocks, bonds and cash in a portfolio, is the most important decision that you'll face as an investor. A study by Ibbotson Associates concluded that asset allocation decisions determine about 100 percent of investment performance for those who follow a low-cost, long-term investing strategy. Similarly, according to a Dalbar and Associates study, many investors underperform the market because they deviate from their asset allocation plan during market downturns.]]></description>

Many DIY investors never look back; they treasure their newfound fiscal autonomy and the challenge of overcoming future financial hurdles.]]></description>

After the last financial market episode, known as the credit crisis of 2008, you may be wondering how you will ever achieve financial security after seeing your 401k drop by more than 30% in one year. Even though the market has had a remarkable recovery since the bottom was struck in March, 2009, there is fresh data that shows the individual investor is not fully participating in the rebound so far.

According to the Investment Company Institute, since April of 2009 no net new money has been added to equity based U.S.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The majority of advice given to individual investors relates to developing an investment plan: evaluating risk tolerance, choosing an appropriate mix of assets, controlling costs, etc. While these considerations are all important drivers of investment success, a singular focus on plan development often causes implementation to suffer.

In order to promote the disciplined execution of a portfolio's investment strategy, pension plans, foundations and trusts often draft an Investment Policy Statement (IPS). This document formally outlines the investment objectives, philosophy, boundaries and procedures for managing the portfolio so that plan advisors don't stray from their clients' intentions.]]></description>
