FAQs

Is MFF a good investment? ›

Chris Mackay's MFF Capital Investments [ASX:MFF] is the best local exposure for quality global growth stocks. It's one of the few investment funds that isn't afflicted by what Buffett termed the 'institutional imperative'. That is, bureaucracy over rationality. His monthly commentaries are always good reading too.

Fees. The arrangement with MFF is a little unusual, but quite attractive compared to many rivals. In recent years the base fee has consisted of $4 million a year. Performance fees of $1 million kicked in for 2018 when the total shareholder return exceeds 10% for the year.

Low Risk and Short Duration

As stated above, money market funds are often considered less risky than their stock and bond counterparts. That's because these types of funds typically invest in low-risk vehicles such as certificates of deposit (CDs), Treasury bills (T-Bills), and short-term commercial paper.

Money market funds can be a good fit for investors looking to benefit from the current interest rate environment or saving for a short-term goal. Keep in mind that while the funds are considered low risk, they are not FDIC-insured.

Overall Rating. Morningstar has awarded this fund 4 stars based on its risk-adjusted performance compared to the 327 funds within its Morningstar Category.

Most investors turn to managed futures as a way to diversify their portfolios. In theory, exposure to managed futures should mitigate the risk in one's portfolio when stocks underperform and hedge fund returns flatten.

Futures contracts can be an essential tool for hedging against price volatility. Companies can plan their budgets and protect potential profits against adverse price changes. Futures contracts also have drawbacks. Investors risk losing more than the initial margin amount because of the leverage used in futures.
