Vanfunds, the tortoise of online investing?…

Remember when you were just a small child and you learned the lesson of the hare and the tortoise? The hare hopping here, there and everywhere but not actually getting anywhere and the tortoise just plodding along at the same metronomic pace until he crossed the winning line first.

This story reminds me somewhat of online investing and how different programmes operate. Many seek headlines and attract attention at every turn. Often the publicity is unwanted and results from some form of problem they have suffered. This needs strenuous efforts to repair reputations and gain investor confidence which sometimes never returns.

Then there are programmes like Vanfunds that just keep plodding along, not making waves and focused purely on delivery for their investors. Their returns aren’t the most headline grabbing in the world but at 10% per month they still represent a much higher return than available in the high street.

They are based in Panama and yet to me they exude a certain ambience of Swiss order as their site is well organised, offers a whole host of services and works without any problem.

In the world of online investing they might be considered somewhat conservative and yet is that such a bad thing. There are far too many examples of programmes that have promised much only to burn when times get tough.

You may not see much about Vanfunds on forums, blogs or discussion boards but don’t let that put you off. Remember the story as the tortoise won in the end and I’ve a feeling Vanfunds will also be a winner.
