Wednesday Investment Wisdom: The Difference Between Growth Funds vs. Value Funds

When it comes to investing in equity funds, growth and value funds represent two distinct strategies that cater to different types of investors. Both approaches have unique characteristics and risk profiles, making it essential to understand their differences to select the right product for the specific investment goals of an investor.   What Are Growth Funds?

Chart of the Week: The allure of the US Treasury bond

U.S. Treasury bonds are considered safe, convenient, and easy to trade, making them the preferred choice over other low-risk investments. Their yield is relatively low but this ‘convenience yield’ reflects the implicit premium that investors are willing to pay to hold Treasuries, compared to less liquid assets like AAA corporate bonds.
