Baylor Byrnes Brackman - Preventing Fraud

Baylor Byrnes Brackman Group as promised, will continue to provide you with the terms and knowledge you need to know in the financial world to help prevent fraud.

Baylor Byrnes Brackman Group will be providing numerous updates in the following days with more terms to help provide you a better understanding.

Day order An order you give your Investment Advisor to buy or sell an investment, good only on a specific day.

Debenture Another name for a bond. With a debenture, your money is secured by the credit of the company or government issuing it, rather than by specific assets.

Debt Money that has been borrowed and must be repaid, usually with interest and by a set date.

Default A term used when a person or company breaks the terms of an agreement.

Director A person elected by the holders of common shares at an annual meeting to direct a company's policies.

Discount to par The amount by which a preferred share or bond is sold below its face value. The buyer then receives face value at maturity.

Discounted The market price of a share is said to have been 'discounted' when an event that is expected to happen, such as an increase in dividends or lower earnings, has been reflected in its price Baylor Byrnes Brackman Group explains.

Diversification The practice of buying several different types of investments over a broad range of industries, sectors and companies in order to reduce your risk if one particular industry, sector or investment performs poorly.

Dividend The part of a company's profits that you may receive if you are a shareholder of the company. Preferred shares earn a set dividend, while the dividends for common shares vary with the company's profits. Companies are under no legal obligation to pay dividends to their shareholders.

Dollar cost averaging Investing a set amount in a specific investment at regular intervals. As a result, when the value of the investment goes down, you're buying more of it, and when it rises, you're buying less. The overall effect reduces the average cost of your investment.

Dow Jones Industrial Average - (DJIA) is a price-weighted average of 30 actively traded blue chip stocks, primarily industrials but including American Express Co. and American Telephone and Telegraph Co. Prepared and published by Dow Jones & Co., it is the oldest and most widely quoted of all the market indicators. The components, which change from time to time, represent between 15% and 20% of the market value of NYSE stocks. The DJIA is calculated by adding the closing prices of the component stocks and using a divisor that is adjusted for splits and stock dividends equal to 10% or more of the market value of an issue as well as substitutions and mergers. The average is quoted in points, not in dollars.

Earnings Per Share (EPS) Baylor Byrnes Brackman Group says also referred to as Primary Earnings Per Share. Net income for the past 12 months divided by the number of common shares outstanding, as reported by a company. The company often uses a weighted average of shares outstanding over reporting term.
Effective Annualized Seven-Day Yield Yield for a seven day period including the day reported, calculated by adding one to the base period return used in calculating the standard seven day yield raising the total to the power of 365 divided by seven and subtracting one (NOTE: To be reported on Wednesday only).
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval -EDGAR An electronic system implemented by the SEC that is used by companies to transmit all documents required to be filed with the SEC in relation to corporate offerings and ongoing disclosure obligations. EDGAR became fully operational in 1995.
Ending Net Asset Value The market value of a fund share on a predetermined end date.
Ex-dividend Interval between the announcement and the payment of the next dividend.
Ex-dividend date The date on or after which a security begins trading without the dividend (cash or stock) included in the contract price.
Execution The process of completing an order to buy or sell securities. Once a trade is executed, it is reported by a Confirmation Report; settlement (payment and transfer of ownership) occurs in the U.S. between one (mutual funds) and three (stocks) days after an order is executed.
Family of Funds Group of mutual funds managed by the same investment management company. Each fund typically has a different objective; one may be a growth-oriented stock fund, whereas another may be a bond fund or money market fund. Shareholders in one of the funds can usually switch their money into any of the family's other funds, sometimes at no charge. Family of funds with no sales charges are called no load families. Those with sales charges are called load families Baylor Byrnes Brackman Group.
Face value The value of a bond or debenture that is printed on the face of the certificate. Face value is usually the amount the issuer will pay at a certain date. Face value is no indication of market value.
Fixed income securities Investments such as bonds, debentures and mortgage-backed securities that provide you with a regular income.
Futures contract An agreement to buy or sell an investment or asset at a specified price on a specified date. The price is set through a futures exchange, a trading market like a stock exchange.

You should consider the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. Your Baylor Byrnes Brackman Group Investment Advisor will advise you on these before investing.

Fixed Income Investments

Fixed income investments are an important part of a well-diversified portfolio. Fixed income investments pay interest at specified times in fixed amounts, and are usually issued by a corporation, municipality, government or government sponsored agency.

There are two primary reasons investors may want to include fixed income investments in their portfolio:

Regular Income - Fixed income investments provide a stable and regular stream of income. Diversification - Fixed income investments are essential to the performance of an individual investor's portfolio.

Equity Investments

There are three primary reasons investors may choose to incorporate long-term, quality stocks in their portfolio:

Higher Returns - Over a longer period of time, stocks have almost always provided higher returns than other investment alternatives.

Rising Income - Stocks offer the potential for rising income through dividend growth. Rising income helps protect investors against inflation.

Diversification - Stocks, combined with other types of investments, can help reduce the uncertainty of future portfolio returns, compared to owning only one type of security.

Learn more about equity investments and their place in a diversified portfolio by contacting your Investment Advisor.

Ability to invest regularly over time rather than with one lump sum Available on mutual funds and select stocks Low minimum investment

- Available on select stocks - Once it's set up, it's completely automatic

A simple annual review of your portfolio can help ensure your investments remain on track and take you in the direction you want to go. A free portfolio analysis will give you a complete picture of your financial situation Baylor Byrnes Brackman Group.

What can I do to help improve my portfolio's performance?
