benz666 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Well, my opinion on mutual funds is that , I would go for consistency of performance thru the years than the funds that suddenly boosted up this yearsince my criterion on selecting MF is how they fare in both good times and bad. Considering my previous statement. I would prefer Sun Life since ever since my brother started plunking money on to with a few years ago, I was tasked to analyze its annual statements for him and I find its performance consistent with its goals of maximum shareholder wealth. Take it from an HK equities trader in Ortigas. Quote Link to comment
hitomi Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 BPI's ALFM makes good returns since Jan 06 till now. Downside is ang tagal ng holding period (6 months).<{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah, i just read in the papers yesterday that the BPI mutual fund managed by BPI AMG (Asset Management Group) is number 1 in the industry. the entry fee however, keeps ordinary working people away from it and other mutual funds. recently i've been hearing about funds that don't require large entry fees (5000 Php+ only), are these ok?

magnus Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 the usual thing to do is (assuming you know what fund to invest in) to contact the investment company, go to their office and give your money.

brentley Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 the usual thing to do is (assuming you know what fund to invest in) to contact the investment company, go to their office and give your money.I already went to sunlife and purchase 10,000 worth of bond fund. From the NAVs, i lost P500 already for the upfront tax and fee. What to do next? Do i just leave it for 1 year ,2 years perhaps Quote Link to comment
gzorros Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Mutual funds are not created equal... I would suggest to invest a little time in studying their prospectus that would at least discuss their investment strategy, portfolio composition, goal, management fees and their qualifications. There are multitude of fund types available and it depends on their portfolio composition i.e. Bond fund (treasury etc..), some holds Commercial Paper, some holds pure equities and those bolder one will have foreign instruments in their portfolio.

gzorros Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Bond's face value normally goes down when interest rate goes up... Looks like immediate trend is up barring any drastic economic slowdown. Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Bond's face value normally goes down when interest rate goes up... Looks like immediate trend is up barring any drastic economic slowdown. A bond's face value remains the same all througout. You must be talking about market price. Quote Link to comment
gzorros Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Thanks... Bond Market Price (not face value = par value) which indeed fluctuates like equities which goes to say that there is an inherent risk to it. Quote Link to comment
magnus Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 the risk is there if you won't wait for it to mature. otherwise the interest is guaranteed Thanks...

parbust3r Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Anyone here know any mutual equity fund that invests in international stock? Quote Link to comment
Guest lene Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 the risk is there if you won't wait for it to mature. otherwise the interest is guaranteed hmm, correct me if I'm wrong but i don't think mutual funds have "maturity dates" ? I believe the different mutual funds have holding periods, after which you can redeem anytime. Also, I don't think interest can be guaranteed since it is marked-to market. Just my two cents, though Quote Link to comment

Pinoymale Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I started reading Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" last week. That's where I got the idea of investing in mutual funds. If there is a particular holding period, does this mean that I cannot withdraw my money during this period? Isn't that in contrast with the idea that you have ready access, and can therefore withdraw anytime, your investments? Quote Link to comment

Isn't that in contrast with the idea that you have ready access, and can therefore withdraw anytime, your investments? Generally speaking, you can still withdraw your money during the holding period. However, you will most likely be charged a penalty depending on how long your money stayed in the fund. Quote Link to comment
