* Canon Link: N/A
* Restricted Missions: N/A
* Primary Source: N/A
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
* Manufacturer: Tonith-Damask Incorporated
* Model: N/A
* Affiliation: Closed-Market (Tonith-Damask customers)
* Modularity: While no individual fund can be modified, there are a variety of different funds available under the TDTI branch. Funds can be mutual funds or exchange funds, backing one major faction's economy or another, and can be equally distributed or percentage based.
* Production: Mass-Produced.
* Material: Public Business Equity
SPECIAL FEATURES
* Invests in the total public market of a government's economy in a variety of fashions.
Strengths:
* Variability: Government - Customers can choose between investing in say, the Outer Rim Coalition economy or the First Order economy
* Variability: Fund - Customers can invest in mutual funds, a simple solution or exchange trade funds, slightly more complex but less costly solution.
* Variability: Distribution - Customers can elect to weight the fund equally among all public corporations, or weight it by the percentage of each companies market share.
* Low Risk - Investing in the total economy of a nation prevents significant losses when one sector or another reaches a crash.
Weaknesses:
* Investing in a total index fund means you're investing in the market as a whole, and as a result you'll never "beat the market", just keep up with it, minus fees.
* Some governments restrict investing in other markets in one way or another, diminishing returns if not entire investment opportunities.
* No investment is truly safe, or without risk. While TDTI funds are remarkably "safer" than picking individual stocks there is still no guarantee that customers will hit profit margins, as no market is safe from a crash.
* TDTI funds can only invest in publicly owner companies, somewhat diminishing options.
DESCRIPTION
The Tonith-Damask Total Index is a class of investment option that puts money towards the customer possessing a small amount of equity amongst the entirety of a government's public economy. This is a very low-risk tactic for stock investments, ensuring that the price of shares will never be below the market as a whole. Some variability is available, with customers being able to invest in mutual funds or exchange trade funds, one government or another, or percentage based vs equal based shares. For example, an example of a fund might be a Percentage based ETF of the Galactic Alliance. This would invest more towards higher-tiered companies in the GA, and only be available in full ETF fund shares, but present slightly lower fees than a similar mutual fund. This would perform as well as the GA economy as a whole, and have better returns when bigger companies were doing better.
Overall TDTI is a safe blanket option for those who don't want to bet on individual companies or market sectors, but still prefers a higher return than most bonds or certificate deposits can offer.
