Investing is the right way to do forex for those who have some money but have no time or desire to spend long hours reading professional literature, learning currency, fund, and other financial markets in order to trade on their own. In this case you may choose a service of trusted management. Currently there are numerous companies, dealing agencies, broker companies and private entrepreneurs who may offer you this service. What is worth paying attention to when you re choosing the managing company? Taking into account that the first and the most important of the dealing companies roles is safety of your investments, you should pay attention to safety guarantees provided by the company.
Risks safety guarantees may be as follows:
1. The managing company insures the investors deposits in an insurance company, with the third party guaranteeing total or partial return of investments in case of financial loss.
2. Another form of insurance is a reserve fund of the company that is formed in order to return the losses to the investor in case the losses happen. For example, if the total fund cost is 100 000 USD, the investor’s deposit is 5 000 USD, the reserve fund will be 40 000 USD.
It means that the investor’s deposit constitutes 5 000 USD/100 000 USD*100% = 5% of the total cost. Thus, the investor has the right to receive 5%*40 000 USD = 2 000 USD from the reserve fund. If the investor has 4000 USD on his deposit at the moment they are taking their investments back, the company will be entitled to pay them back the remaining 1000 USD using the reserve fund. The reserve fund availability by no means provides you with 100% guarantee that your deposit will be absolutely safe. It’s just an insuring fund that guarantees total or partial paying back the investor in case if the losses are inevitable.
