Active Investing Wealth Management for High Net Worth Individuals

Active Investing Wealth Management for High Net Worth Individuals

North Olmsted, OH (Vocus) January 22, 2010

Individuals with high net worth and at least one million dollars of investable assets will find Dr. Gary J. Harloff’s book a worthy investment. Released through Xlibris, Active Investing Wealth Management for High Net Worth Individuals is created to help high net worth individuals play a more effective role in their own investing wealth management process by being better informed.

According to Dr. Harloff, wealth management is a process and not a product that can be purchased. In summary, the process establishes individual and family wealth goals, collects and analyzes financial and personal data, establishes a consensus between the individual and professional specialists, implements the specialist’s recommendations, and monitors the progress of the strategies. This book presents the components of this process—which includes investing, wealth transfer, and professional relationship management.

“Before retiring, it is good to discuss goals and wishes with a professional or a family member to provide for a successful retirement path,” says Dr. Harloff. Active Investing Wealth Management for High Net Worth discusses different investment strategies and risk assessments—a “how-to” guide to go beyond common portfolio management practices.

Quant Trader – Don’t just forecast the market, predict it!

Identify profitable trading opportunities in seconds. Did you ever wish for a crystal ball that can tell you when the market is going up or down? How about a personal trading advisor that can recommend when to enter a trade? If you said yes to either one of these, you are not alone. Imagine if you had a trading platform that did both and was easy to use. A trading platform with no complex portfolios, no difficult software and no expensive data feeds. After a few brainstorm sessions and lots of coffee, we built Quant Trader EOD (End of Day). We also added simple portfolio building, easy to use software and a free data feed. In fact, Quant Trader is so effective and easy to use that a trader with literally no experience can be up and running in one day. More information is available at: www.fractalfinance.com

Best way to invest $5,000?

Question by Michael F: Best way to invest ,000?
I wish to know the best way to invest $ 5,000 for a maximum yeild in a minumum amount of time. I am a student who has seen a sudden windfall and do not want to misallocate my funds. Looking into a window of 6-18 months. Would be willing(and just barely able to) tie up $ 10,000 for up to 2 years. Am open to any suggestions, hope for a 6.5% return semi-annually(every six months), is this possible? Am open to money market accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, commodities, etc. . Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by big bear
First only $ 5000.00 you need to knock out any debts you have such as credit cards and other bills that may have an high interest rate. The reason I say this is that once the credit card have been paid off the money that you would have been using to pay the bills will now become money that you can use for savings and ofter future investments. But let say you have no bills. Most online banks are now offering C.Ds with an interest of 6 percent for as little as 4-6 months with only $ 5000.00 to invest. At 6 percent that is close to $ 250.00 in a 6 month time. Basicly thats all I can tell you if you had a little more money to invest I would tell you to invest in a money market account. But talk to your banker. That appointment is usally free. Good luck to you. Whatever you do don’t invest it in some waterfront land in Phoenix..

Q&A: Transfer IRA from one company to online company?

Question by kirkhilles: Transfer IRA from one company to online company?
I currently have a SIMPLE IRA from my work with a company which has a mutual funds, but I honestly don’t like Mutual Funds and would love to have it with an online brokerage where I could buy a mix of index funds, individual stocks, commodities, etc. I’d still want to keep it as an IRA with the online company. How difficult is to do this? Any tax implications?

Thanks!
