Growth funds are funds where your investment would grow year on year and you do not realize any gains until you surrender your investment.
Dividend funds are funds where your investment would grow and at the same time you get regular earnings as form of dividends.
Because dividend funds share their profit regularly, the NAV of a dividend fund is always lesser than the growth fund.

What is the risk level of a mutual fund investment?
Ahh, if you don't know the answer or the risk level for a given fund you really need to speak with your broker! I don't mean to come across as being rude or anything but that is like asking what the lottery numbers for tomorrow will be... to broad a question to give any real answer - there are ten's of thousands of funds out there and they all have different purposes! Obviously every fund has some degree of risk and some more than others (Small vs Large Cap, US vs Euro vs Asia, Growth vs Income, etc etc etc) Most funds however are safer than investing in an individual stock since your money is diversified across hundreds, even thousands of different holdings. There are far too many factors to list here and no simple answer - a better question would be what is your risk *Tolerance*? It would be a whole lot easier to recommend some funds based on the intended purpose of the investment!

Disadvantages of mutual fund?
A mutual fund is an investment vehicle with a well defined, easy to understand investment strategy and goals. Investing in a mutual fund is only advantageous if the investment strategy and goals of the fund (or combination of funds) match that of an investor. For example, if investment is made into a fund whose goal is growth over a long term, an investor may lose a significant fraction of their investment when taking the money out too soon. A second, very important consideration is taxes. It turns out that buying mutual funds is a good idea when one is to use tax advantages of retirement plans, such as IRA, Roth IRA or 401k, 403b. The reason is that a so-called turnover ratio (or distributed gains) for a mutual fund can be quite high. If you have to pay taxes on these gains, you might end up paying tax on the income you did not receive. It is therefore recommended to use low turnover mutual funds or an entirely different investment vehicle - exchange traded funds (ETF) if investment is made in an ordinary (vs. tax privileged) account.

Living in CA can you find out if I have Indian claim to monies if I was born in Louisiana of a Chata Indian grandmother?
There are a lot of tribal names out there, and this is not a tribal name I can find. You would have to contact that tribal government to find their citizenship requirements; and that does not guarantee any form of money. Most tribes were 'given money' in trust funds, that they do not control and the money (if ever) is paid out in growth payments (most of these funds are millions of dollars in debt, from government mishandling (see Cobell VS Norton - now Cobell VS Salazar)).

What happend if one needs to borrow from the cash value of the insurance policy and has direct recognition?
You fill out the paper work and your loan payment is process and sent to you. In a non-direct recognition company "IF" (they are not guaranteed from year to year) the company declares a dividend you receive the whole dividend as if you had not take a loan. With a direct recognition company your dividend is reduced in relation to your loan. Every company works their dividend schedule differently so a one size answer can not truly fit. But your dividend (if declared) is reduced. You have to pay attention as well. If a non-direct recognition company is paying a 4% dividend. And a direct recognition company is paying a 7.5% dividend. Lets look at the numbers. We will use easy math. Your cash value is $100,000 inside the policy. You want to take a $25,000 dollar loan. We are making this simple here. Consult your insurance rep for full disclosure and numbers. With a non-direct recognition company you take the loan, but the company credits the dividend at the full declared rate of 4%. With a direct recognition company you take a loan and you will receive a reduced dividend. You will still be earning on the $100,000 but you will earn a lower dividend. So instead of 7.5% you might be earning 6.5% or 6.0%. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE COMPANY! So in the end you could end up making more money with a direct vs. a non-direct. And the flip side is also true as well. The issue is what is the dividend? If they are both paying the same rate than the non-direct does win. But it all comes down to the rate.
