I am looking to invest 30,000. I am 40 ish and will not need the money till retirement so I am looking for a SAFE investment…maybe an Annuity?? I already have IRA’s. Any suggestions??
With your time frame, I would recommend a broad market mutual fund. There is obviously more risk than in CDs or bonds. But over the 20 plus years of your investment, I think the market risk is less than the very real risk of inflation. The mutual funds also provide reasonable growth prospects. Significantly more than a CD or bond.
Take a look at Vanguard. Two that I would suggest are VTSMX and VGTSX. VTSMX is a total US stock market index fund. VGTSX is an international fund. You will have the whole world covered with those two.
Please help me, we are cunducting a study on “best CFO Awards” for a reputing Business news channel.
There are no Investment Bankers in India only Merchant Bankers who do only a limited spectrum of jobs done by Investment Bankers abroad. In olden days they used to do only Bill discounting and now they might have expanded to stock trading and M&A advisories. Investment Banks have a spectrum of services, from Investment advisories to structured debt to Mortgage Backed securities. They will have their own trading floors to sell their own created financial instruments where as Indian Financial service industry is not grown to do the full spectrum services of Investment Banks abroad.
Is a credit card/bank statement enough for businses tax write offs?
I’m filing taxes for my consulting & real estate business, for about 41,000 and have about 10,000 in tax write offs, but only receipts for about 30% of it. Are bank and credit card statements enough if ever audited?
What if the charges were made through companies that are for like quaterly real estate dues, or real estate boards specifically?
I’m afraid the answer is probably not. I’ve seen auditors allow non-substantiated expenses when the client had almost all of his other receipts, but 30% is a very low number.
Checks and credit card statements will show how much you paid to someone, but it doesn’t establish business purpose in many cases. Your deductions might be subject to disallowance on audit.

should i wait for interest rates to lower before getting a fixed remortgage?
Definitely. They just raised the rates last week and the bailout hasn’t loosened up the credit market enough yet to “trickle” down to the mortgage rates.
Is SBI’s ‘L56/Magnum Childrens benefit plan’ good for investment?
I have plan for investment in mutual fund for children.SBI is having ‘L56/Magnum Childrens benefit plan’. Is this good? Can anybody give an answer to this?Or do I need to invest in some like LIC’s Jeevan Anand etc.(not sure of the name)
I don’t know all the details of each plan, however SBI’s plan looks to be a load mutual fund which means it’s going to cost you 1.5% of your money to get in and between 1% and 3% of your money to get out. They might also have management fees in addition to that. There are plenty of no-load mutual funds out there, so I would shop around some more.
With a 5 year fixed rate bond, obviously you cant touch the capital, but can you take the interest?
Bonds pay interest twice annually unless they are stripped or those things referred to as savings bonds. You can actually sell the bond at any time if the need should arise.
