NAIC Fixed Income Screen (World Bond)
The National Association of Investment Clubs is a not-for-profit organization of individuals and investment clubs that share a common interest in owning securities and learning how to become successful investors. Its four basic principles are: 1) Invest regularly, regardless of the market outlook; 2) Reinvest all earnings and dividends 3) Invest in growth companies - and aim to double your money every five years over time; and 4) Diversify your portfolio to reduce risk. At its 1997 National Congress, NAIC introduced the Official NAIC Mutual Fund Handbook, including forms for comparing both equity mutual funds and fixed income mutual funds. This screen, based on NAIC's fixed income fund form, measures fixed income funds according to basic criteria of expenses and performance. It leaves it up to the user to select the appropriate investment categories to meet their personal objectives, from more conservative Treasury and mortgage bond funds to more aggressive international or high yield bond funds.
