Usually clawbacks are considered to be a financial mechanism by which the collection of revenue is allowed that was previously issued to investors and other parties, as a means of covering costs that is associated with the particular business or investment venture. What it means is that the clawback involves the extension of benefits followed by the retrieval of those benefits in order to keep the project moving forward.
Examples of how a clawback functions
There are many examples of how a clawback functions.
The dividend clawback
One is referred to as the dividend clawback. This has to deal with the way that the project is structured and what are the responsibilities that are assumed by both the sponsor and the investors assume with the project.

On Monday morning there has been a slump in the energy sector and so the worries about the upcoming earnings season weighed on U.S. stocks.
Along with the stock market the commodity had been putting in solid gains, which is helped by an influx of speculative bets by those traders who are willing to take on risk. But during the recent sessions, this has been hurt by the investor’s worries about the weakness in demand due to the global recession, which now probably looks like that it will last longer than what is expected by many traders expected. 
In New York recently crude futures were down $2.54 to $64.19 a barrel, which leads to a broad decline in raw materials. The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index was off 2.9%.
One relatively encouraging thing however come from the relatively low-bar set by the year-ago period taken as a comparison to the forthcoming numbers. It has been said by veteran traders and analysts that it’s getting much easier for companies to beat analysts’ earnings expectations with each passing quarter since the U.S. economy has now been in recession for more than a year and a half.

When the bailout plan was formed, many people were hopeful that the stock market would rise again, but the failure of the bill to pass caused panic in the market and thus led to the greatest single-day point drop! But before everyone starts to transfer their investments to other places, one must consider that this is not the worse we have seen. If your consider point wise, it may be the greatest drop but percentage wise its not the greatest drop. Also, if your original intention was to invest for a long term, then you might be making a mistake in transferring your investments, as it might be an opportunity to buy rather than to sell.
If you are young, then this might be a good buying time for you to start on long-term investments. If you’re older, just try to make sure that your investments are balanced and are going according to your plan for long-term investment. The Iowa Public Employees Retirement System has designed a calculator to help you estimate the investment and the return by adjusting the sliders to correspond to your age, income and requirements.

I spent last few days learning about mutual funds investments. I can sum up here what I have learned from different sources about the basics of these kind of investments. Mutual Funds are far better than investing in individual stocks. You should chose the later kind of investment only if you have time, energy and required level of understanding of stock markets and the underlying fundamentals.
What is a Mutual Fund?
A mutual fund is a pool of investments used to buy a large portfolio of securities that will be managed by a professional adviser. When you buy a share in a mutual fund, you effectively buy a bit of each security held in the fund’s portfolio. Mutual funds are sometimes referred to as “investment companies.” These investment companies should not be confused with investment banking companies, which raise capital for corporations and municipalities. Mutual funds, on the other hand, are “investment companies” whose shares are sold to the public and which invest the proceeds of these sales in other public companies.
Risk
Mutual funds are not risk free investments. Even investing in mutual funds whose portfolios consist only of guaranteed U.S. government bonds contains an element of risk. Before you invest in a mutual fund, be sure you completely understand the risk. When you invest in a fund, the risk of total loss is lessened due to the diversity in the portfolio, but anyone who tells you that there is no risk involved in this investment is lying.
