Mutual Funds

[rys]

okay magkarga ngayon

[joss]

mas mild pa nga nagyon ang mga nangyayari kaysa nung asian financial crisis 1997..kasi noon maliit pa ang mutual funds kaya pag nag dump ang foreigners talaga wala sumasalo sa PSE ngayon kahit pa paano may local mutual funds na kahit pa paano ay nakaka tulong mag stabilize ng konti . dati pag bagsak talagang sumasadsad talaga.... tingnan natin pag natapos ang election sa us kung ano ang mangyayari kasi historically nag ra rally ang stock pag may bagong halal....sana nga..

I have seen a steady gain the mutual fund I invested on since the start of 2009 (roughly 16% YTD). Does this mean the economy is now recovering and that it is time to put more investments?

I don't know what kind of mutual bond fund you are invested in, so I can't comment. The economy still is stagnant but that means a continuing regime of low interest rates. If you feel you made a gain, maybe it's time to redeem your shares and realize your income. Then you can make a decision where to reinvest your funds.

Thanks sir. The mutual fund I invested on is MFMCP Kabuhayan Fund. It is a balanced fund. That is all I know. I still don't like to pull out my investment since I already suffered a big loss on that fund last year and the 16% gain for this year so far is not enough to recover and I am on a wait and see attitude. But if people will advise that it is now good to invest in this kind of fund, then I am willing to put a little more to try to recover my losses last year.

If you dont know anything about the stock market, its safer for you to invest in mutual fund. I do my own trading with my broker in the market, so far I'm lucky my stock portfolio is doing well. PX, EEI, Chib are slowly and consistently gaining. I missed out on web , meralco and meg.

If it's a balanced fund it should have been going up since the start of the year. Stocks are starting to pick up so you may want to go out even if you have a modest gain.

again, it depends on your personal risk tolerance. if you want liquidity, have a short term investment horizon and will settle for lower rates, sda will be fine. if you want the potential for higher gains and are willing to hold the investment for a longer term, then a mutual fund might suit you. check with your bank.

how much is the minimum investment in mutual funds?

[Guest lustfortravel]

^^^ depends on what bank. i believe some banks like BPI offer it as low as 50K. You can also ask from other banks on what their minimums are.

Most mutual funds are directly offered by asset management companies like Sun Life, Phil Am, ATR Kim Eng etc. Banks are prohibited from offering mutual funds except indirectly through their trust department. As LFT says, you can go directly to the trust department if they offer mutual fund investment outlets (like BPI) or to the Asset Management Companies or you can just simply check out their websites.
