* 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 market sector 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 planet's economy in a variety of fashions.
Strengths:
* Variability: Market - Customers can choose between investing in say, Tech or Entertainment, Galactic Defense or Personal Transportation, Finances or Agriculture, etc.
* Variability: Fund - Customers can invest in mutual funds, the 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.
* Potential - As one market grows over another, so do potential returns. A popular new ship design may prompt accelerated growth for a Galactic Defense fund, etc.
Weaknesses:
* Investing in a single market can present significant risks. A recession could lower Entertainment sales, a plague might lower Agriculture sales, a bubble could cause a crash in technology.
* No investment is truly safe, or without risk. Even booming markets can be overrepresented, causing a "bubble" which can leave investors reeling when it pops.
* TDMI funds can only invest in publicly owner companies, somewhat diminishing options.
* Mutual funds and ETF's are significantly less liquid than credits, as processing purchases and sales usually takes at least 24 galactic standard hours.
DESCRIPTION
The Tonith-Damask Total Index is a class of investment option that invests in a small portion of equity across an entire market category, for example Agriculture. This is usually seen as a somewhat higher risk investment, though some categories, such as Galactic Defense, are seen as more moderate investments due to the consistent arms race between major governments. Like other TDI funds these can be purchased in mutual funds or ETF's, as well as equal distribution or percentage based. This is only recommended for more experienced and involved investors, who wish to try to beat the market by hedging bets on which areas will triumph. Often times these funds are used for short term investments rather than retirement or health funding, where investors try to bet on who will post good profits in a year or less.
Overall TDMI funds are a wide variety of options for the seasoned investor, who can accept a larger risk in order to try to beat the market and maximize returns.
