A mutual fund is a type of professionally–managed collective investment. It works by pooling money from many individuals and then investing it in stocks and other short term money instruments. A fund manager, also known as the portfolio manager is entrusted with trading the fund’s underlying securities, managing the capital gains and losses and collecting the dividends. The proceeds from the investment are then divided amongst the individual investors. The value of a mutual share fund is calculated by the Net Asset Value (NAV) , its continuously calculated based on the total value of the fund divided by the number of shares that are currently issued and outstanding. Mutual funds are of three types, equity funds, fixed income funds and balanced funds. Equity funds deals exclusively with common stock investments, they can take quite a lot of profit but are also extra risky. Fixed income includes corporate and government securities and offer fixed income at low risk. Balanced funds are basically a mix of bonds and stock with a low risk.

As with any investment, mutual funds have risk associated with them, and one must have well set financial goals before taking the leap. Author - Reverse Mortgage

If a person owes many creditors some sums of money and is finding that it is hard to maintain a record of the minimum monthly payment of each, it is in his best interest to consolidate debt. However, for a debt consolidation plan to run successfully, the person has to be financially disciplined and should meticulously plan the monthly expenses. The first step in the plan is to have an analysis of the debt loads. For this, it is essential to make a roster of the different kinds of debts, for which some monthly installment is being paid. The next step is to write down the monthly payments for each of these and add them up. Now, you will get an idea as to how much should be the monthly payment after debt consolidation, so that the plan may be approved. First of all, consider the “home equity line of credit.” In this, the house is taken as collateral for the loan. So, the bank can offer lesser interest rates for this sort of loan. The least interest rate is possible by this sort of loan. Another advantage of this loan is that the interest is tax-deductible. The second step is to consider cash-out refinancing. In this, a new mortgage is taken on the house and this has to be greater than the current mortgage. For instance, if the current mortgage is $150,000 and the value of the house is estimated at $200,000, then a larger mortgage loan of $181,000 is taken. This comprises of $150,000 for the current mortgage loan and $31,000 to repay the other debts. The third step is to consider personal loans. This option is open for those who do not own a house or do not desire to pledge the house as collateral. In case of these loans, the interest rate is more than the home equity loans and lesser as compared to the annual percentage rates of the credit cards.

Predatory Lending is a fraudulent lending practice. Although there are no legal definitions about the practice in the United States, there are laws that serve to restrict many specific practices that can be commonly termed as predatory. Many federal agencies tend to use the tem as a “catch all”, for various illegal activities in the credit industry. A controversial definition of the term is “the practice by which a lender deceptively convinces the borrowers to agree to abusive loan terms or making a systematic violation of the terms which makes it hard for the borrower to defend against it. Certain types of loans such as payday loans, credit cards and some forms of consumer debt which charge high interest rates are also sometimes referred to as predatory lending. The most common type of predatory lending is ‘Cash-out Refinance’. These are basically home mortgage refinance loans where the borrowers are provided with a loan based on the home equity value. However, the equity value is intentionally miscalculated and borrowers are provided loans at a higher rate. In addition they are also burdened with a certain additional cost and heavy fees. Unable to cope with this ridiculous repayment obligation, most borrowers tend to go into default.
