Hmmm? The better "investment plan", momentum or value + dividends? Bush fund or Gore fund? MAXfunds.com has a new way for investors to track the presidential race By Staff Writer Martine Costello October 20, 2000: 7:22 a.m. ET NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Politics, like most things in life, is about money. And even though the two presidential candidates are in a tight race in the polls, a new mutual fund company said it has a way for investors to track Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush where it really counts - campaign contributions. MAXfunds.com, an unconventional online fund-tracker based in Ann Arbor, Mich., said it has created two indexes of the top 20 publicly traded companies that have contributed "soft money" to the two candidates. "We're trying to show what's really going on money-wise in the election," said Jonas Max Ferris, founder and chief executive of MAXfunds.com. Unregulated "soft money" that comes to the Republican and Democratic parties has become a heated campaign issue. Former presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has pushed for major campaign finance reform and both Bush and Gore have lambasted soft money even as such contributions hit a new record this year. MAXfunds.com created the indexes and is tracking them on the site as a learning tool for its users about the economics behind the presidential election, Ferris said. (cont) cnnfn.cnn.com
