First Investors Select Fund Beneish M Score

FICGX Fund  USD 12.46  0.03  0.24%   
This module uses fundamental data of First Investors to approximate the value of its Beneish M Score. First Investors M Score tells investors if the company management is likely to be manipulating earnings. The score is calculated using eight financial indicators that are adjusted by a specific multiplier. Please note, the M Score is a probabilistic model and cannot detect companies that manipulate their earnings with 100% accuracy. Check out Investing Opportunities to better understand how to build diversified portfolios, which includes a position in First Investors Select. Also, note that the market value of any mutual fund could be closely tied with the direction of predictive economic indicators such as signals in price.
  
At this time, First Investors' M Score is inapplicable. The earnings manipulation may begin if First Investors' top management creates an artificial sense of financial success, forcing the stock price to be traded at a high price-earnings multiple than it should be. In general, excessive earnings management by First Investors executives may lead to removing some of the operating profits from subsequent periods to inflate earnings in the following periods. This way, the manipulation of First Investors' earnings can lead to misrepresentations of actual financial condition, taking the otherwise loyal stakeholders on to the path of questionable ethical practices and plain fraud.
