Small Investors must Focus on Fundamentals in light of Financial Scandals, Economic Downturn, says Entrust Administrator

LAKE MARY, Fla. - In light of epic financial scandals and a history-making economic downturn, small investors must take every precaution to protect their assets and that means a return to fundamentals, according to one of the most active small investment fund administrators in the U.S.

Glen Mather, president of Entrust Administration Services, LLC, which has offices in Lake Mary, Chicago, Boca Raton and Jacksonville and administers more than 2,000 self-directed retirement accounts worth more than $200 million, said small investors are already responding to the “perfect storm” of financial scandals and economic turmoil that have clouded the U.S. economic picture.

“I think we’re already seeing smarter money in the market,” said Mather. “While big fund managers worry about a new Mercedes or a vacation home in the Caribbean, small investors have their entire livelihoods at stake. They are more cautious, less trusting and more anxious about learning the facts than they were before the scandals, and that’s a good thing,” Mather said.

Entrust Administrative Services won’t offer investment advice, Mather said.
“We deal in facts and documentary evidence. We help private individuals take control of their own investments. And what we are seeing is that most individual investors adhere to market fundamentals and study their opportunities closely. The ones who don’t, usually invest in safer opportunities such as money markets or certificates of deposit.”

“But almost all of them know you can’t just trust the investment funds blindly,” Mather said.

Mather recently spoke at the Crisis in the Financial Markets breakfast panel discussion sponsored by the Miami Finance Forum in Miami. More than 150 top CPAs, lawyers and corporate officials attended the event.
