Melissa invested in mutual-funds and David invested in exchange-traded funds. Melissa liked that her dividends would be reinvested so that she could possibly earn more. David read his investment portfolio again, and realized that dividends earned on his funds are usually not reinvested. He started his account with $400 by his choice. He did not have to adhere to a minimum amount. Melissa started her mutual fund investment with a balance of $5,000. She regretted having to start her account with that large amount of money. Melissa and David know that they will have to pay fees for their investment transactions and they will face different levels of risks. Melissa kept up with the value of her mutual funds regularly at the end of closing days of trading since that is when values are available. David could check the value of his exchange-traded funds anytime. They are both looking forward to earning dividends.Name: ______________________ Class: _______ Date: _______Comparing Bond Investments ActivityDirections: Provide requested information for the listed items using the website marketataglance.asp?catid-32 .Comparing Bonds TableBond InformationBond 1Bond 2Issuer of NC municipal bondBond current yieldBond semiannual yield Bond annual yield Based on the above information, describe the bond performance.Issuer of government bondTreasury current yield Treasury yield for one monthTreasury yield for one yearBased on the above information, describe the treasury paring Bond Investments (Continued)Bond InformationBond 1Bond 2Issuer of corporate bondBond current yieldBond semiannual yieldBond annual yieldBased on the above information, describe the bond performance.Name: ______________________ Class: _______ Date: _______The Right Type of Mutual Fund Activity Directions: Match the mutual fund in the left-hand column with the most appropriate situation in the right-hand column by placing the alphabet representing the situation next to the mutual fund.Type of mutual fundSituation to use mutual fundAggressive–growth stock funds _______A.
