Most investors find this option highly attractive and a diversified option. As a matter of fact, while making an investment should not have the only motive of generating profits, rather it should be focused upon making high profits. The high yield investments help the investors to double their money after some time span. Profits and good performances go side by side, good performance bring high profits while increased returns persuade one to raise the bar of performance regularly. An important factor about the high yield investments is that they usually carry high amount of risk. If you have an adviser, make sure you ask them what the Portfolio Turnover Rate is on your funds. So, how can you find out about these extra costs? Well, they are in the fund's prospectus, and will show for the previous year what percentage of fund assets were traded. The FSA estimates that a 100% fund turnover in an equity fund in a year would cost the fund around 1.8 per cent. However, on a Fixed interest fund, costs tend to be much lower. Latest calculations from Financial Express Data has shown that the average UK Equity fund to February 2009 showed a figure of 95% fund turnover, meaning that these trading costs would add circa 1.7% to the annual costs of the funds. It should be noted that in some markets, such as Emerging or Far East funds for example, the PTR rate can add much higher costs than this, even as high as 9%. So why are these costs so important to know about? Very simply they bring 'performance drag' to the way your money grows. Let's add these costs up: AMC - 1.5% TER - 0.2% (say) PTR - 1.7% Total - 3.4% pa So, your fund will have to perform at 3.4% pa to even stand still! That is one of the main reasons why there has been a lot more interest in index and passive funds, which have much lower PTRs, and usually lower costs generally. In order to select the right high yield investment program, following are the factors that can better help you in this regard. The first point in this regard is research. If you are looking for the online investment options, make extensive research about whether the company you want to deal with is a real company or scam. Avoiding scam is necessary, as investing your money would only bring you loss of your principal investment. If you want to invest in some real sector, research about the credibility of the company that would be investing your money. Second important point is the past performance of the company. Before investing in a closed end fund keep in mind that not all closed end funds are structured to pay income, and some can distribute principal as part of their monthly or quarterly distributions. Do the research carefully if your heart is set upon buying them, do so when they are selling at a discount.
