Invest company (income) industry

Article Abstract:

Most fixed-income mutual funds are expected to show average economic growth in 1997 but investors who are willing to take more than average risks might investigate Nuveen Municipal Value and Kemper High Income Trust as sources for greater than average yields. Problems from municipal bonds, similar to those for Orange County, CA in 1996, seem to have disappeared and analysts predict that long bond interest rates will be between 6.5% to 7.0%.

Investment company (income) industry

Article Abstract:

The Asian economic situation, seesaw securities buying patterns, the strong US dollar, and narrowing yields are some of the more important trends that are affecting the investment company industry in 1998. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has decided not to raise short-term interest rates, and the economic situation in Japan is questionable. Shares in bond mutual funds are best for high-bracket investors who seek to conserve capital.

Investment company (income) industry

Article Abstract:

The Federal Reserve Board is not expected to raise interest rates in 1998, due to the Asian financial crisis, but US economic growth is forecast to be at fall from 4% in 1997 to 2% to 2.5% in 1998. This will create a favorable climate for income investing in municipal, corporate, and government bonds, but each sector must be separately evaluated. Investors seeking income will find good opportunities in income mutual funds.
