Where would dividend distributions go? I just added a definition to Dividend. It would be nice to link to Mutual Fund Dividends.--LadyGeek 00:29, 5 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Dividend distributions would be part of the subsection Basic Structure. The distribution of interest, dividend, and realized capital gains would be included in the definition and discussion of Net Asset Value, a key consideration in the workings of an open end mutual fund. The basic characteristics of an open end mutual fund (buying and selling shares to shareholders at NAV determined upon the market close, along with the requirement to distribute all income to shareholders annually) would follow the discussion of the organizational structure of a mutual fund registered investment company. --Blbarnitz 06:42, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

What does the "few cases" broken link refer to under Money Market funds? There is a discussion in Money Markets, but I don't see anything that can help. (BTW, I owned The Reserve when it broke the buck in 2008. It took a few months, but my funds were restored.)

"As of November, 2009, there have been only a few cases when this has actually happened. Most notably, two money-market funds of The Reserve Funds broke the buck in September, 2008, after Lehman went bankrupt."

 * If you click the link, you will find the deleted page. This page was a running record of the 2008 crisis (meant to provide the historical documentation of the event). Unfortunately, their were an incredible amount of broken links on the page, so I deleted it. You can restore the page and see the overwhelming number of defunct links. --Blbarnitz 00:12, 27 April 2012 (CDT)
