	Regional Review: Issues in Finance: Should U.S. Investors Invest Overseas?
		Investors desire high investment returns and they also wish to minimize risk; thus, a riskier security must have a higher expected return to compensate investors for assuming the additional risk.
		In constructing a portfolio, investors are faced with the problem of allocating their money among various assets, including domestic and foreign equities and corporate and government bonds — and making this trade-off between risk and return.
		Portfolio optimization is simply a computational convenience that helps the investor translate his or her views of the future asset returns, risks, and correlations into the portfolio that best represents this view.

	The BCCI Affair - 2 Introduction
		In the same period, Bernie Cornfeld, chairman of the Investors Overseas Service (IOS), which sold "The Fund of Funds," and fugitive financier Robert Vesco, siphoned off hundreds of millions of dollars from investors in the mutual fund that at its height had $3 billion in assets under its management.
		Service of those subpoenas was delayed, at the request of the Justice Department and U.S. Customs Service, due to concern that its service could interfere with an ongoing sting operation of BCCI in Tampa, Operation C-Chase.
		By the time the Subcommittee secured the permission of federal authorities to move forward with service of the subpoena, in late July 1988, the Subcommittee had completed the public hearings in connection with its investigative mandate, and was proceeding to complete its final report, with no further investigative efforts planned.

	Idle advisers find angry investors hot on their trail - Business - www.theage.com.au
		Recent estimates put the amount of investors' cash that has found its way into pockets of idle financial planners at about $42 million, and the figure grows as monthly payments are dispensed without accountability to the recipients.
		If a fund manager elects to pay a trailing commission to an adviser, and that adviser isn't providing a service, investors are well within their rights to call the fund manager and instruct that the trail be redirected to an adviser that will.
		It's almost impossible for an investor to reclaim the trailing commission unless they have a relationship with a planner or a broker who is willing to claim the fee on their behalf, and rebate it.

	Overseas markets rallied big. - Dec. 30, 2003
		But this should not be the point of investing overseas, or of investing in general, remark Santa Clara finance professor Meir Statman and Assante Asset Management senior research analyst Jonathan Scheid in a recent paper.
		Rather, investors should focus on diversification which, Statman and Scheid found, is beneficial even when (as has often been the case over the past two decades) markets tend to rise and fall together.
		In other words, investors shouldn't venture overseas because they are looking for outsized gains (even though they may receive them), but because putting some of their money in foreign markets is a safer thing to do.
