"Repatriation provides the U.S. companies an opportunity to move the foreign assets back to the U.S. without suffering tax consequences of any significant nature however, estimates are varied dependent on how much money that is represented. Estimates from the Joint Committee on Taxation has projected approximately $150 billion in repatriated income however the New-York based JP Morgan Chase has estimated the amount to be approximately $425 billion meaning that a gain from $8 billion to $22 billion in corporate income tax revenue would be gained by the U.S. Treasury."

Abstract
This paper explains that there are four types of international mutual funds: The international funds, which invest only in well-known markets outside the U.S. such as Germany, France, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia; the global funds, which contain mixtures of U.S. and international stocks; the regional funds, which concentrate in geographic areas like Latin America, the Pacific Rim and Europe, with the concentration of these firms in small countries and emerging markets; and the country funds, which concentrate only on one country. The author points out that international funds are useful when it is felt that the U.S. market is not doing so well, and the emerging markets in the foreign countries are expected to perform better than the U.S. market. The paper relates that an important feature of international funds is that they give small investors an opportunity to invest in shares all over the world, an activity that would be very difficult or expensive to pursue on their own and that provides a good opportunity for diversification.

From the Paper
"The aim of any mutual fund is to pool in the money from different investors and put it in a position where it can be managed by professionals. The manager makes the trades, realizes the gain or loss, and collects the income in the form of dividend or interest. The gains or losses are then passed on to the individual investors. The operation of most funds are open-ended, and that means that the investment company is at liberty to issue new shares to investors, and also undertakes to buy back shares from investors who want to leave the fund. There are also close ended funs which issue a fixed number of shares, and only these can be bought or sold by the investors among themselves through a stock exchange. The person who has issued these closed funds is not responsible for redeeming them, so the trading of these has to be only through a broker."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The definition of a hedge fund is an investment institution, which actively manages its portfolio using a large number of strategies and leverage in order to produce high returns, which are measured in absolute terms and/or over a specified benchmark, such as FTSE100 in the UK or the DOW30 in the US. Hedge funds are similar to the traditional investment funds in that they are both pooled and professionally managed, however, there is a number of differences. Unlike traditional funds HFs are practically unregulated and have the flexibility in their trading and investment strategies, e.g. go short when markets are bearish or when a manager thinks that an asset is overpriced and is due a correction (source: Investopedia)."

Hedge Funds, 2004.
This paper discusses hedge funds, featuring the launch and collapse of one of the first hedge funds, Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM).
1,930 words (approx. 7.7 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 61.95

Abstract
This paper explains that hedge funds, large private investment pools that are not limited by the restrictions put on other types of investment vehicles, are allowed to take short positions in securities and to concentrate their investments in a particular firm, industry or sector. The author points out that, in the case of LTCM, the basic idea was hedging: over time, the value of long-dated bonds issued a short time apart would tend to become identical, and by a series of financial transactions (essentially amounting to buying the cheaper 'off-the-run' bond and short-selling the more expensive, but more liquid, 'on-the-run' bond), it would be possible to make a profit as the difference in the value of the bonds narrowed when a new bond came on the run. The paper concludes that there is no way to hedge away all the risk, especially when tough economic times materialize; therefore, a solid capital base must be a requirement in order to weather negative economic conditions, and hedge funds must be regulated.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"With regard to leverage, the LTCM Fund?s balance sheet on August 31, 1998, included over $125 billion in assets. But, even using the more generous January 1, 1998, equity capital figure of $4.8 billion, this level of assets still implied a balance-sheet leverage ratio of more than
25-to-1. The extent of this leverage implied a great deal of risk. The LTCM Fund?s exposure to certain market risks was several times greater than that of the trading portfolios typically held by major dealer firms. The LTCM Fund?s size and leverage, as well as the trading strategies that it used, made it extraordinary vulnerable to a down turn in financial market conditions."

From the Paper
"Generally, there are two types of mutual funds. The first type is called an ?open-ended? fund. In an open-ended fund, the fund does not have a set number of shares. It will continue to issue shares as long as investors will buy them. Investors can also redeem shares. At the end of each trading day, the fund manager will calculate the net asset value (NAV) of the fund. The NAV is the total value of the assets held by the fund divided by the total number of fund shares. Shares are purchased or redeemed on the basis of the NAV. "

From the Paper
"In the summer of 1990, the federal government's budget deficit once again appears to be an uncontrollable beast, and, as usual, (1) the two major political parties attempt to blame one another for the problem, and (2) the Bush Administration and the Congress each attempts to cast the other in the role of villain. In the midst of the fight over the budget, a controversy has arisen over the retirement trust funds administered by the Social Security Administration. Somewhat inexplicably, the federal budget deficit and the retirement trust funds are, unfortunately, interrelated. It is this interrelationship which is examined in this research."

Hedge funds minimize risk and the volatility of that risk via strategic diversification by selling long or short, buying and selling securities, engaging in opportunities on the futures or bond market. The development of a hedge fund was based on getting an absolute return in all directions. In practice this means that hedge fund managers seek seed freedom to achieve high absolute returns and wish to be rewarded for their performance."

From the Paper
"The basic question facing companies and their expatriate employees is whether any formal or informal repatriation program is offered. While this may seem obvious, the answer differs greatly from company to company. The existence of formal repatriation programs tends to be quite low. One research project by the Conference Board found a little more than one-third, or 36% of respondents offered some sort of repatriation assistance (CLC). Another recent survey found only 27% of the companies surveyed had such a program (HR Reporter). The length of the training varies from less than one day to two or three weeks. Of the respondents, 36.7 percent said their programs were a day or less, and 23.3 percent said they lasted two to three days. More than 26 percent said the training varies by the location of the assignment."

Basic Criteria For Repatriation
Argument In Favor Of The Return Of The Selected Object
Argument Against The Return Of The Selected Object
Conclusion
From the Paper
"However, merely because using the Lega figure as teaching tools in museums to different nations of the world does not justify the cultural loss to the people of the Congo, who originated these works to be part of their religious tradition, not as artifacts to teach the nations who exerted colonial domination over their territories. Also, even if the Lega figures are individualistic, this does not take away from their ritual significance. Finally, the idea that Western art scholars only approved of the Lega after recognizing the individual component added by certain creators shows that the Lega remain judged by Western standards, and not by the indigenous standards of their local community--the repatriation and relocation of the works may be necessary so the world can be educated in the contextual significance of these figures as well as judged by Western standards."

From the Paper
"The purpose of a study such as this one is to show that there are many issues that surround a particular company and a particular industry, and that businesses must be examined in order to determine whether their strategies are appropriate for what they are attempting to do. In other words, is the business in question performing the way it should be performing in order to continue to succeed? The importance of this should not be underestimated, as many individuals that invest money in mutual and other funds cannot afford to lose this money, and are relying on the money for specific and important expenses. It is important that these individual investors understand the risk that they are taking, so that they will not encounter a significant financial problem if the fund that they have invested in does not perform up to expectations."

Mutual Funds vs. Common Stock, 2002.
An examination of the differences between mutual funds and common stock and the benefits of each.

Abstract
This paper begins by providing a basic definition of both mutual funds and common stocks and explains the differences between the two. It then lists all the benefits of mutual funds and proceeds to examine the risks involved too. It then discusses the benefits of "self-building" one's own stock portfolio and also looks at the risks involved in this practice.
From the Paper
"What exactly is the difference between mutual funds and common stock? In essence, a stock is a single entity of commerce. When you invest in a share, you own that share and make money from it (you hope) when it is sold. A mutual fund, however, is a group of investments organized by a professional manager or team of managers. When an investor buys into a mutual fund, he or she is actually buying a diverse field of investments. The fund may be solely comprised of stocks, or other items, such as bonds and securities may be added. Both items, stocks and mutual funds, have advantages and disadvantages which will be discussed in detail."
