id6230 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 ^^ These comments are true. Investment instruments depend on the compatibility with the depositors' risk appetite. Conservative investors such as retirees and older people would just prefer their hard earned money to yield some profits and lower risk. Time deposit might be considered a loss if inflation is factored in. But inflation is an instrument that cuts across all segments using a weighted mean method to derive the figures. However, all deposit instruments are affected by inflation. Inflation affects money even if they are not invested or deposited in financial institutions. The critical question is how to invest money that would outpace inflation and yet have considerable amount of risk removed. After all, the retirees are the ones who have the most amount of money.This is a good analysis on the nature of investing. In the end, there will always be risk, the tricky part is how to make it the most minimal. Quote Link to comment
abcdabcdph Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Here are some links on talks regarding Bank of Paranaque. http://www.pinoymoneytalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=6963.0http://www.pinoymoneytalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=6471.90 At least you will know the issues before deciding whether to invest there or not.

^JaGuar^ Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 When someone offers you a return that is way off market, beware. Be very scared. In this instance, the market rate for a 5yr TD is about 7% (my guess), now someone offers 20%??? Please always consider Counter Party Risk! The Risk Return equation in investments always holds true. J Anybody heard of the Rural Bank of Paranaque 5 year time deposit na 20% P.A.? Banking peeps whats your advice on this? Any inside information kung stable ba ang bank na ito? Quote Link to comment
lionel Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 guys! why don't you ask your banks if they are offering the Special Deposit Account or SDA? I think it offers a big interest rate. Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 When CTFs became mutual funds they were called UITFs, so they're basically the same animal (both are marked to market). The last time i checked, the advantage of UITF is no taxes (less deductions) while mutual fund companies are more marketing oriented meaning more features and flexibility (ie. monthly interest payouts, automatic payment of insurance premiums from interest earned, etc.). If any of you guys have any more inputs on this kindly post away You're right, CTFs and UITFs are basically the same animal in pooling of funds concept, except that UITFs are now marked to market, investments are restricted to liquid securities and a third party custodian is required, all geared to prevent abuses by the fund manager. Mutual Funds, while having the same concept, issue shares instead of units and are regulated by the Securties and Exchange Commission whereas UITFs are regulated by the Central Bank. In general, I think Mutual Funds are more aggressive in terms of investing to make up for the up-front fees they levy on their subscribers.

Guest lustfortravel Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) ^^^ this is a time deposit of a rural bank offering you 18% p.a. and assuring you of their legitimacy ( hence the reference on being over 50 years in existence ) plus emphasizing on the PDIC coverage to make you feel you are protected ( at least up to P250K of your deposit). i'm just curious on why the bank is not named in the ad. why remain anonymous, offering clients a tempting 18% p.a. yet hiding behind the "PDIC member with over 50 years in existence" reference? if everything they claim is true, then they should be transparent since they have nothing to hide. i'm sorry but i don't buy the " we are evaluating this medium of advertisement for effectiveness" response. all they had to do was emphasize on the 18% p.a. TAX FREE ( when the bigger banks will give your around 4-5% p.a. at the moment) to capture interest. i have a pretty good idea under what group this rural bank belongs to, anyway.

( or depending how much your bank is selling it for) for a 30 day placement. time deposits normally have lower rates. how much is your investment? i think BDO and some other banks accept SDAs for as low as P100k.

Headline inflation hit 12% already in July... di pa din ba sumusunod interest rates of local banks? I think the 91d T-bill is already in the 6% level (but then again this is gross). .. frakin taxes.ah well... Quote Link to comment

LYCHEE Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 BDO now requires a P1million initial placement for SDA Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 BDO now requires a P1million initial placement for SDA They probably felt the minimum of P100K was too tedious for a 14 or 30 day SDA tenor. Some banks still accept a minimum of P500K. Quote Link to comment
Jay Tee Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 i still have a td in psbank. i opened it dec 04, maturity is next year. its earning around 370 php per month. now they're offering 6% only compared to the 9% i had that year Quote Link to comment

Dr_PepPeR Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 JUST PLACED SDA IN BDO,,, 5.6 % ANG RATE,, CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN HOW SDA WORKS AND HOW COME THE INTEREST RATE IS HIGH,, ANYWAY THE BANK TOLD ME ITS SECURE AS WELL. CALLING EXPERTS.... SDA stands for Special Deposit Account offered by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to Banks who in turn offer it to their Treasury or Trust clients. The tenors are in 14 days and 30 days only. This facility was intended to siphon off excess liquidity from the market by offering relatively higher rates so as to be attractive to investors. In your case you are probably a branch client that booked you under a trust arrangement with BDO. BDO trust then invested your funds (together with their other trust clients) with the Bangko Sentral's SDA. In fact, the interest rate of the SDA is 6 percent something but you only get 5 percent something because of the withholding tax and trust fees. You can consider it a secure investment because, well, it's a deposit with the Bangko Sentral. Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 would u know which banks, sir? just checked with allied...they are requiring P2mil initial dep. Try the other smaller banks sir, like Philippine Veterans Bank, Chinatrust, GE Moneybank etc. Hopefully they still are retail enough to take on a minimum of P500K. Quote Link to comment
