LAS VEGAS, Nov. 17, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After the financial crisis of 2008, many investors found themselves a little pensive about investing in the financial services sector. Money center banks were ground zero for the problems that brought the market to the brink. To be sure, investment banks played a role and these stocks provided no refuge for wary investors. Insurance providers, regional banks, you name it...if it was a financial stock, 2008 was more than likely a bad year to be invested.
Now that the market has rallied led by financials, it may be time to once again evaluate the sector, but through a different lens. One company that certainly fits the bill as a different type of financial services firm is Fund.com (OTCBB:FNDM). New York-based Fund.com is by no means a traditional bank or brokerage house and that may be part of the company's appeal to some investors. Fund.com is a financial matchmaker of sorts. Investors that visit the Web site can get information on a variety of investment products that are tailored to their individual needs. That may not sound like a big deal, but in a day when so many financial advisers use a one-size-fits-all approach, investors can derive quite a bit of value from using Fund.com's services.
Additionally, Fund.com through its AdvisorShares Investments LLC subsidiary is creating actively managed ETFs, such as the Dent Tactical ETF, to take advantage of the rapidly growing ETF business.
In fact, the company's Dent Tactical ETF was featured on CNBC.com recently at the following link: http://www.cnbc.com/id/32897842
A profile featuring Fund.com and of interest to investors of financial service companies Charles Schwab (Nasdaq:SCHW), TD Ameritrade (Nasdaq:AMTD), E-Trade Financial (Nasdaq:ETFC), and Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC) is available at www.SmallCapSentinel.com/FNDM
