Introduction
---------------------
The program Fund Investor automates the access to Fidelity and
Vanguard families of mutual funds using automated service telephones.
The program permits a speedy, access to these funds: obtaining individual
quotations and balances including the last purchase/sale/exchange of
shares in your account. An additional feature is the automated transfer
of funds from your bank to some groups of funds, or between funds.
The program also calculates the actual return on investment in these funds,
taking into account dividends and the change in share price.
Any change in prices of shares, bonds, or mutual fund is automatically
stored. A separate section of the program permits compilation of all
investments in Treasury and Corporate bonds. The actual yield of these
bonds is calculated and payment dates listed. If an interest payment is
due within 30 days, then this entry is highlighted for your convenience.
The program also calculates the actual yield to maturity and duration of
bonds.
Another section is devoted to direct investments in the stock market.
The program permits direct downloading of stock quotations from CompuServe
Service and automatically updates the portfolio. The quotes are also stored
in a historical data file and can be plotted. There is also a section for
recording your investments in bank accounts, such as Certificates of
Deposit, or Money Market accounts.
The program maintains a permanent record of all transactions, calculates
the actual yield on investment for individual accounts as well as provides
the "purchase date and price" and "selling date and price" for all "closed
positions", according to IRS rule FIFO (ie. "First in, first out").
