You have likely heard of investing in the stock market or even in funds. If you are looking to start investing, however, you may be looking for a unique opportunity that is unlike any other. With that in mind, consider any of the six investment types that are truly one of a kind in the information below.

1. Special Purpose Vehicles

You have probably never heard of this type of investment, and may even ask yourself, what is an SPV? An SPV specifically is a subsidiary of some company or business that helps to mitigate any risks or potential losses that may come to the company. It is typically temporary to last through a certain season that a company may be going through, but it has its own assets and liabilities. As an investor, you can invest in this temporary SPV as you know that it is basically fail-proof when considering that it is a mitigation effort.

2. Farmland

You probably know that you can invest in real estate, but you can also invest in farmland specifically. You can purchase farmland, however, and hire someone to run the farm if you do not have time to perform the hands-on work that is associated with the farm yourself. It can be expensive when considering all of the costs, but you can make quite a large profit off of the farmland. You can make a profit by selling the land or even by selling the crops that come from the gardening that is done on the land.

3. Wine

Another unique and interesting investment opportunity is to start with investing in wine, which can get to be quite profitable. You do need knowledge on how to choose some of the finest wines that are available and on how to know that it is a good selection. Prices on wines go up as they age as the taste becomes more refined, so the older a certain wine is that you invest in, the more that it will be worth. Some companies even allow you to put as little as $1000 into your investment of wine.

4. Art

Art is one of the more common unique investment opportunities that exist, and people truly get rich from taking this investment opportunity. Some individuals have even sold single pieces for millions of dollars after beginning to invest in this industry, but it is expensive to get into. You have to put money into a specific artist or even into a specific painting that you want to purchase and later sell. If you have the money and the effort required, however, you can become quite successful in this field of investing that is available.

5. Startup Businesses

Many investors take the time to invest in some of the largest companies on the stock market and in companies that they have known have been around for a while. Though it may seem riskier, you can also invest in startup businesses, but there is a higher chance of return. There are venture capital funds and even mutual funds that are dedicated to these start-up businesses though, especially if there are good ideas on the plate and there is already success that has been seen. You will only receive your money after you see the business reach some level of profit.

6. Forex Trading

The final unique and interesting investment type to consider on this list is forex trading. Forex trading involves the direct trade of currency, depending on what the current exchange rates are for certain worldwide currencies that exist. You do have to do extensive research in this market to understand how the rates are moving, but when you take the plunge, it is well worth the return. Forex trading does have an extremely high risk also due to the volatility that exists within currency and the change that is always coming.

There are many common investment types such as stock and shares, but there are also more unique opportunities that are always waiting. Start trading currencies with forex trading, or put your money into an SPV. The possibilities are endless on what you can make a little profit off of.

Starting early is critical as many of us are also starting small. In addition to starting early with your investment portfolio, it’s a good idea to know your risk tolerance.

Check Your Comfort Level

If you have a 401(k) through your job, the investment process is so simple that you will probably be quite comfortable with it. Money comes out of your check before you see it and goes into market funds that are likely high, moderate, or low risk.

Investing post-tax dollars with a broker can be a much more worrying activity. When considering investing for beginners, try to use an app that allows you to buy fractional shares of larger stocks that are established and profitable.

Buy Just a Bit of Large Stocks

A stock is a certificate of ownership in a business. When an owner chooses to expand their business, selling shares in the business is a wonderful way to raise money for improvements.

Depending on the growth pattern of the business, your stock purchase will grow or drop in value. Penny stocks offer some options for growth but are so volatile as to be too risky for most investors. Extremely expensive stocks, such as Amazon, offer the chance of steady growth but are out of reach for many investors. The ability to buy fractional shares means that you can buy a tiny portion of a $3,000 stock.

Investing Vs. Trading

Investing is a buy and hold strategy while trading is more active. While trading can be more interesting, it’s not a great way to make money in the stock market. The ability to be patient and let your stock value grow over time will actually do more for your financial future than actively moving money around.

Why? Humans are prone to responding more intensely to a negative event. If you have a stock that is humming along and suddenly drops in value, the temptation to dump it can be almost overwhelming. Unfortunately, this means that you lose any difference between your initial purchase price and what you reap when you sell the stock.

To buy low and sell high as an active trader means that you have to time the market. To time it, you have to know it and keep studying it before you make any buy. As there are professionals who spend their lives learning the market and still struggle to time the market, buying and holding is the best method for beginners.

The Power of Index

Once you can buy fractional shares, check out index funds. An index fund is the slice of a collection of businesses or stocks. The S&P 500 is an index that offers a fund, as is the FTSE 100 in Great Britain.

By buying partial or fractional shares of index funds, you own the power of the market as a whole. While corrections can be tough on your balance for a time, index funds are built to grow. You don’t have to pick and choose companies to buy and hold; instead, you own a slice of many companies, all of which are working to improve their bottom line.

Carefully Consider Your Situation

While putting away money in investment funds, it’s also critically important to take a look at your personal financial situation. Paying 20% interest on a credit card and earning 6% interest on your investments is not a good long-term strategy. This is not to say that you shouldn’t start investing in the stock market. However, you may want to limit your investment dollars for a time while you wipe out high-interest debt, then increase your investment contributions.

Make sure that any investment dividends go right back into the market for the time being. If your budget allows you the cash to invest in the market, the dividends become your employees. Those dollars can then go back into the same index funds, or you can route your dividends into higher-risk funds for the chance of greater gains.

The ability to turn your money into more money is easier today than it ever has been. Unless you really know an industry and the players in a company, avoid making a lot of trades that can lead to excessive fees. Buy and hold for the long term.

Money management is crucial in leading a comfortable life. You need to plan your finances and keep track of them. Here are ways you can take control of your money with sheer simplicity.

Set SMART Financial Goals

For starters, you need to set financial goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound. They can be short-term or long-term, depending on your financial situation. For instance, you can decide to pay your student loan by a specific period. This way, you will work towards getting the money to pay off the debt.

Budgeting is Key

You can manage your finances by budgeting every month or week. A budget is a comprehensive tool that stipulates your earnings and expenses. From the data, you can decide to cut on spending to control your finances. Allocate the amount to essential bills within your house and stick to that. Budgeting will help you determine if you are paying for the correct items or not.

Pay off Debts

Personal loans, student loans, and credit card debts get in the way of your financial freedom. You need to pay them off to plan for the money that you have. List all your debts to see the one that needs urgent payment. Enquire about low-interest rates or lump sum payments for a fair deal. You will have peace of mind since you will be debt-free.

Start Saving

Once you know your income and expenses, you can save some money every week. You can try saving automatically so that the process can be smooth. Some bank accounts deduct from your paycheck to your savings. You won’t forget to save money, and you will look for ways to earn extra income. Automatic saving also instills financial discipline in you.

Invest

You can shape your financial future by investing via the 721 exchange. The real estate sector is one of the lucrative areas to consider for your investment. You will get passive income, tax benefits and pass down the assets to your kin. As an investor, you will be sure of generating profits as time progresses. Talk to a financial advisor or a friend before investing.

Find Other Sources of Income

Ascertain your skills and put them to work to generate more income. If you are excellent at writing, you can look for jobs online. During the weekends, you can practice your photography expertise and sell photos online. Use your bilingual skills to translate content for people worldwide. You can cook food and sell them, provided you have a business license.

Get Insured

Insurance coverage is another method of taking control of your finances. Shop around for reasonable premium rates to make the best of the coverage. You can purchase auto insurance, homeowners insurance, and life insurance. The coverage will shield you in case of a financial crisis in the future. If you don’t have health insurance, buy one to assist in you paying for hospital costs.

Reduce your Expenses

It will help if you lower your utility bills to manage the money that you have. For instance, you can cancel expensive subscriptions and go for pocket-friendly ones. Instead of shopping every day, opt for weekly purchases. Review your phone bill for lower rates to save money. Use energy-efficient appliances that reduce power costs.

Build an Emergency Fund

Starting an emergency fund will help you to prepare for a financial predicament. Set apart some money to help you live for 3 to 6 months when the unexpected occurs. The finances will help you during health emergencies, job loss, or family problems. You don’t have to use up all your savings or investments when you have an emergency fund.

Maximize Employee Benefits

You need to optimize employee benefits like vision coverage and dental insurance to cut costs. You can enjoy the protection and avoid paying medical bills out of your pocket. Use the extra money to cater to critical bills and save some as well. Analyze your benefits and use them to your advantage as an employee.

You can take control of your finances by setting goals and creating a budget. Pay your debts, save, and invest to have a solid future. Buy insurance policies that meet your needs and start an emergency fund. Finally, know your employees’ benefits and enjoy them.

These cards help them borrow funds to purchase goods and services from merchants who accept credit cards. The cardholders have to pay the borrowed money back plus the fees charged by the card issuers. Looking at these facts, it is clear that having a credit card is beneficial. But, what should you remember when applying for it? Below is a discussion on this:

Remember To Pick The Right Credit Card

It is good to look for the right credit card. But what is the right credit card? What is right for you might be a wrong choice of a credit card for someone else. If you try to get more information about various credit card companies, you will pick the right credit card.

For instance, try to look at the credit limits of different credit cards, rewards, and perks. It would be best if you also looked at the fees associated with these credit cards. These fees may include balance transfer, late payment, foreign transaction, annual, and over the limit fees.

You should consider what type of card is good for you. Is it a secured or unsecured credit card? Unsecured credit cards will not require you to pay a security deposit, while secured ones will require you to do so. Your credit history should determine the option that you choose. For instance, if you do not have a credit history or have a bad credit history, go for a secured credit card.

Credit Cards’ Interest Rates Matter 

A credit card’s interest is the price to be paid for borrowing money. It is mostly expressed as an annual percentage rate. This rate may change depending on your credit history, prime rate, and your penalties. For instance, if your credit score is good, you will likely be eligible for a better interest rate. However, if your credit score is poor, a credit card issuer will consider giving you a credit card very risky and will charge you high interest.

You are likely to pay a lot of interest if you fail to pay your full monthly credit card balance. For instance, if you only pay the minimum amount due every month, your credit card issuer will likely make a lot of money from you. The situation will worsen if you decide not to pay the minimum amount due every month, as you will be penalized. The late payments might also appear in your credit report.

You Need To Meet A Credit Card’s Basic Requirements For You To Get It

Different loans have different requirements. For instance, the VA loan credit requirements are different from other home loan credit requirements. These VA home loan credit requirements determine if you will get this loan or not. Just like these loans, credit cards have requirements too.

For instance, most credit card issuers require people to be at least 21 years old for them to get credit cards. However, other card issuers issue credit cards to 18-year olds who have their income sources. You will be requested to provide your date of birth when applying for a card for the card issuer to ensure that you meet this requirement. 

You also need to have a social security number for you to get a credit card. This number will help a card issuer to know more about your credit history.

Credit cards can lift a huge financial burden from you. However, you need to budget and be careful when using them to avoid overspending. You also need to pay your monthly credit balances on time to avoid being charged high interest by your card issuer.

These are simple notes that tell a customer “Hey, you’re overdue. Can you please pay us?” You can send a dunning letter via email or as a paper letter. Sounds simple? Actually, no. To write an effective dunning letter requires great attention to detail and often creativity. The best collections teams are constantly testing dunning campaigns and making changes to try to improve them, and they are measuring their results. While this may require more upfront time and thought, taking a more detailed and creative approach to dunning should yield significant dividends from better response rates to your dunning campaign. Here’s a quick guide to writing a rockstar dunning letter.

Determine Your Dunning Campaign Metrics

What do you want to measure to see how well your dunning campaign is working? This is a key consideration because it allows you to use data to judge your results and compare different campaigns against each other.  Some basic metrics you might consider include email open rate, email response rates (meaning, they replied), clicks on links in an email (if you have sent them a payment link, ideally), and percentage of recipients who pay within 30 days or 60 days. Also, receiving your letter as well as the percentage of total invoices paid by recipients who do pay. For paper dunning campaigns, the metrics are more simple; did the customer pay? Often a company will send both, and that’s normal.  Yes, the ultimate bottom line is simple: how much cash does your campaign collect? But studying these other metrics might give you directional guidance. For example, if your email open rate is better for one campaign than another, this likely indicates better payment rates and probably indicates better recipient engagement. So you may want to look at how the more successful campaign was different to apply those insights to improve other campaigns.

Email, Paper or Both?

Certainly, email is more convenient. It also allows the inclusion of links to payment options. Email is also easier to track and follow up on. That said, sometimes paper still cuts through the noise and grabs someone’s attention. It feels more serious. We wouldn’t recommend paper as a primary means of sending dunning notices, but you may want to consider sending them alongside emails for greater effect. If so, definitely refer back to the email in the letter in order to guide the recipient to quicker action. (In fact, consider that your dunning email may have been screened as spam or deposited in a low-priority inbox, a common occurrence with Google Mail).

Test the Subject Line and Copy

This goes back to the discussion above about metrics. Dunning campaigns are actually just another type of email marketing. Email marketers have long known that the subject line of their messages can strongly influence the likelihood of recipients to open that email. If you are sending a high volume of dunning emails, then it’s definitely worth your time to test different subject lines. (This is called A/B testing.) The basic rule of thumb in A/B testing is simple. Never test more than two subject lines at a given time in order to make sure you know the true impact of each change. What applies to subject lines also applies to copy in the dunning letters. Try two different versions of a letter to customers in the same segment (meaning size or days overdue or geography). (Here is a link to a good beginner article on A/B testing).

Adopt the Right Tone

Obviously, collecting money is serious business. However, bone dry or threatening dunning letters may perform worse than a dunning letter with a gentle touch or even a little bit of humor. You don’t know what’s going on inside the company; there could be major problems and a lot of stress. The accounts payable team may be under tremendous pressure. While that’s not your problem, you want to treat them with empathy.  So for the first letter in a dunning campaign, consider a conciliatory and relaxed tone. For subsequent letters, you may want to adopt a more serious tone with specified negative consequences (i.e. a service cut off or submission to a collections agency) laid out very clearly. To make it clear that matters are growing more serious with each letter, you probably don’t want to use the exact same dunning letter copy for the first, second and third notices. Additionally, there may be cultural nuances for customers in different geographies or from different countries and industry sectors. So factor all of these into the tone and where you are in the collection cycle. If you are very unsure of how to write a good collections letter, you can have an attorney do it for you (or even post it on a legal site like UpCounsel where an attorney can write one for a relatively small fee).

Make It Personal (If You Can)

There is a reason why sales teams increasingly adopt tools that allow for brief personalized notes on outreach emails. Personalization works. It shows the recipient of a dunning email that you have taken the time to acknowledge them as a person. Granted, dunning and collection letters are not the happiest communication but the purpose is very similar to that of a sales email; you are trying to close the invoice, rather than the sale. Personalization is not always possible. For example, if there is high turnover at the debtor company or if all invoices and notices go through a centralized email box, personalization can be challenging. And you probably don’t want to put a personalized subject line because it may appear unprofessional in such a serious situation. But if, for instance, you have a personal contact at the customer company, even a brief mention can humanize the interaction and reframe the request as coming from one person to another. Manual personalization of dunning letters can be very time consuming so you may want to consider using a system that can automate some of the personalization or allow you to quickly add a note to the body of an otherwise standardized letter. In this same vein, if at all possible, make the dunning email come from a personal email (joe@company.com) rather than a system email address (ar@company.com). Personal emails are more likely to be read and less likely to get filtered as Spam.

Make It (Ridiculously) Easy to Pay

This sounds silly but including a link to direct payment options will radically increase the chances that you will get paid quickly. The link should take them to a payment gateway that can ideally handle credit card, ACH/EFT, and Wires. Make it stupid simple for the recipient to pay their debt.  For that payment link, as well, make sure that you are sending a secure (https://) domain. With the rise in spearfishing and email fraud targeting company AP departments, it’s important to make the paying feel as secure as possible.

Speed Up the Cadence

Many companies have a practice in collections and accounts receivable management that is to send out the first collections notice when a customer is 15 to 30 days late in paying their invoice. This may be too long to wait. A good amount of research has found that the earlier you notify customers they are late, the more likely you are to get paid. In fact, as often as not, late payment isn’t a conscious decision but an oversight or a reflection of your low priority in the bulging queue of an overworked accounts payable team. With that in mind, you may want to send the first note even if the invoice is a week or even a few days late. Consider, as well, the size of the customer and past customer payment behavior. If a customer pays 30 days late like clockwork, then it may not be worth the effort to accelerate their payment because you are encountering an internal policy of 30 days late payment. (You might be able to learn this information from a quick conversation with your AP team counterpart).

Consider Whether Advanced Dunning Automation Tools Makes Sense

Most of the ERP systems, such as NetSuite, have some automated dunning campaign features. That said, collections teams may want to consider third-party solutions that give greater flexibility and control over dunning. For example, running campaign tests in many ERP dunning systems is not possible, and creating multiple templates is time-consuming and challenging. If your dunning ERP’s default automation system is boxing you in and is hard to use, you may want to consider shopping around for a collections automation product that has modern software features like team assignments, bulk actions, and multiple-templates. Dunning automation tools can also help you ensure that your emails are actually delivered: just like email marketing, blasting out 1,000 dunning emails in a short span of time will trigger Spam filters and significantly reduce the likelihood that your emails are received, let alone read. Recovering from a Spam catastrophe like this can be painful and require weeks of time working with IT teams. So consider the risk you may be taking before you push send.

Conclusion

After reading this, we hope you will have some ideas on how to think about building out a detailed and effective collections campaign structure. Most of what we talk about here can be turned into a repeatable process that your collections team and accounts receivable managers and analysts can fine tune and revise to improve results. You may want to revisit your process and look at the data a quarter or six months after you first implement. You should see positive results that will convert into improved metrics for Days Sales Outstanding, Average Days Delinquent, and Free Cash Flow.

Motorists are being warned about a new finance scam that sees con artists targeting unsuspecting motorists with too good to be true deals. 

Deals advertised on the social media Instagram are targetting the most vulnerable motorists on the road. 

Typically they offer motorists a policy without the need for a credit check or a deposit. 

Usually, the deposit is a large lump sum up front as well as commit to regular monthly payments. 

Leases are a type of credit, which means that only motorists with a good credit history will be likely to pass any affordability and suitability checks. 

This means that motorists with poor credit history could be left unable to take out a lease. 

Con artists are capitalising on these vulnerable motorists by essentially bypassing the process which is preventing them from getting a deal. 

Fraudulent accounts have been spotted on Instagram, who are asking motorists to direct message the firms to be able to take out a policy. 

These policies do not exist and it is just a ruse for these scammers to get hold of your details and convince you to hand over your cash. 

The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) and Action Fraud are akin drivers to remain vigilant and question if a deal seems too good to be true.  

BVRLA boss Gerry Keaney said: “These criminals are purposely targeting the vulnerable, scamming money from people who can least afford to lose it.

“It’s deplorable. Their adverts can appear very convincing with some even posing as BVRLA members and citing membership numbers of legitimate members.

“We want to get the message out there that all legitimate leasing brokers adhere to Financial Conduct Authority rules and will carry out credit and affordability checks.

“Those who don’t, will not be legitimate traders and could be out to scam you.”

Let’s block ads! (Why?)

CONTINGENT fees, in which clients pay lawyers only if a case is won, have long been a feature of America’s legal system. Many other countries used to bar them, wary of importing America’s ambulance-chasing culture. But a belated acceptance of their benefits means they are now widely allowed. “No-win, no-fee” arrangements help shift risks from parties to a suit to their lawyers, and make it less likely that a would-be plaintiff decides not to press a strong case for fear of a big financial loss. 

Around a decade ago, some lawyers took the principle of risk-shifting further. They accepted money from third parties to fund cases in exchange for some of the winnings. Litigation finance has since taken off. Fortune 500 companies and New York’s elite law firms increasingly tap outside capital when pursuing multi-million-dollar suits.

Car finance has drastically grown in popularity over the past few years with it offering an attractive alternative to full ownership over a vehicle.

There are an estimated 8.7 million UK drivers with a car finance agreement, but a large proportion of these feel ‘trapped’, claims a new report.

According to new research by Drover, around 28 per cent of drivers with finance deals can’t afford the final payments to keep the car at the end of the contract.

As a result of this drivers are feeling pressured into taking out another finance deal because they don’t want to feel like they lost money they’ve out into a new car.

The survey of 1,500 drivers who are currently in a finance deal found that almost 65 per cent said they could not afford the final payment on their deal and therefore felt obliged to take out another Personal Contract Purchase.

In addition to this, three in five (60 per cent) said they could not afford to terminate their contract early.

Of the motorists trapped, almost two thirds (61 per cent) believe they are getting a bad deal and 54 per cent believed that the next PCP contrast they agree too is worse than the one prior.

The research also revealed that 28 per cent of motorists surveyed had at least three rounds of finance with the same dealer and higher APR rates than their previous deal.

Some drivers claimed to be frustrated by PCP deals saying they weren’t aware of what they were signing up for.

This is evidently costing drivers as almost half (46 per cent) claimed that they did not shop around for a good deal while 36 per cent are not aware of what the rate of interest is.

Drover CEO and founder Felix Leuschner say that motorists should consider other avenues when searching for a new car deal.

“Buying a car is daunting prospect for many drivers – not only is there so much choice, but car finance deals are hugely confusing,” he said.

“We are aiming to help drivers by providing a more flexible way to run a car without the commitment of car finance.”
