Frontier market

Frontier markets is commonly used to describe the equity markets of the smaller and less accessible, but still "investable," countries of the developing world. The frontier, or pre-emerging equity markets are typically pursued by investors seeking high, long-run return potential as well as low correlations with other markets. The implication of a country being labeled as frontier, or pre-emerging, is that the market will begin to develop similar levels of liquidity and exhibit similar risk and return characteristics to that of the more traditional emerging markets.
MarketsWiki this year began publishing financial market snapshots of selected frontier-market countries - so far we have completed Kenya, Hungary, Vietnam, Colombia and Lebanon with more to come.

Frontier markets

Frontier markets are economies too small to be considered emerging, but with tremendous growth potential. Until recently emerging markets were seen as safer than investing in US and European markets, but their luster is fading and frontier markets are becoming more fashionable. Frontier markets include countries like Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, where stock markets are small and difficult for foreigners to invest in, but expected to grow rapidly.
MSCI launched a family of tradable frontier markets indices in 2007 covering 19 countries, and in July 2008 FTSE launched the FTSE Frontier 50.

Full Amount (FX Trading)

Full Amount is an order execution type in foreign exchange (FX) trading that allows for the complete execution of a large order with a single counterparty at a single price. This method is primarily used in institutional FX trading to minimize information leakage and reduce slippage.
== Characteristics ==
The key features of Full Amount execution include:
* Single-ticket execution: The entire order is filled in one transaction.
* Minimal information leakage: By executing the full amount with one counterparty, the risk of other market participants becoming aware of the large order is reduced.
* Reduced slippage: Slippage, which is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which the trade is actually executed, is minimized due to the single-price execution.
== Usage in Institutional FX Trading ==
Full Amount execution is particularly popular among institutional investors and large corporations dealing with significant currency transactions. Many institutional FX platforms maintain a minimum trade size for Full Amount orders, often around $500,000, although smaller sizes may be accommodated.
== Comparison to Other Order Types ==
Unlike market orders or limit orders commonly used in retail forex trading, Full Amount orders are designed specifically for large, institutional-sized trades. They differ from standard market orders in that they guarantee the execution of the entire order at a single price, rather than potentially filling the order at multiple price levels.
== Market Impact ==
The use of Full Amount execution can have significant implications for market liquidity and price discovery in the FX market. By allowing large orders to be executed without breaking them into smaller pieces, Full Amount trades can potentially have a more immediate impact on currency prices.
== Regulatory Considerations ==
As part of the broader FX market, Full Amount executions are subject to the principles outlined in the FX Global Code, a set of global principles of good practice in the foreign exchange market. This includes principles related to execution, information sharing, and risk management.

Fund

Funds attract outside investors to pool their capital into a collection of investment the fund manager has assembled, either actively or passively, giving each access to wider range of securities. Funds can be classified based on when and how they can be bought and sold as well as the kinds of markets in which they invest.
== The big three ==
From an investor's point of view, how the funds are traded and how they charge their fees are crucial. Exchange-traded funds offer minimal cost and easy electronic trading in passively managed vehicles like index funds, wheras mutual funds, whose shares generally don't trade on exchanges (although see below), claim to beat the market through active management of the fund's portfolio and charge management fees of up to 2.5 percent of the portfolio's value. Hedge funds are managed more aggressively than mutual funds and solicit capital only from experienced private investors and charge higher management fees of up to 3.5 percent plus performance fees on profits. But all three offer lower trading costs to the individual relative to their market exposure because the funds can leverage their (sometimes huge) economies of scale.
Some mutual funds - called closed-end funds or investment trusts - are traded on exchanges after an IPO but the fund does not redeem oustanding shares or issue new ones before maturity. The fund's price is then determined by market demand like listed stocks. Closed-end funds are also called publicly-traded funds, not to be confused with exchange-traded funds, or ETFs.
