teban Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 i have another question here from a newbie i believe that banks as well as insurance companies (i.e manulife, sunlife, philam etc) both offers UITFs right which are essentially broken down into either equities or bonds or combination. I was wondering what are the advantages of one over the other and which one would be better for me to invest in? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
rdy1437 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 i think UITF[/url Hi Dr_PepPeR, thanks for the advice. your posts are very informative. Btw sir, what is the website of that UITF Council? As for the moment, I have searched the websites of PSE, BDO and Metrobank. And of the two, BDO offers the the lower investment requirement. Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 i think UITF[/url That's correct sir. It is http://www.uitf.com.ph/. I would have also recommended the Trust Officers of the Philippines (TOAP) website but it is not up to date and it is so slooooowwwwwww. Quote Link to comment

Actually what the insurance companies offer are Mutual Funds managed by their Asset Management Affiliates. In concept, they are the same as UITFs but they are supervised by the Securities and Exchange Commission and participations are made via purchase of shares. I may be biased towards UITFs since they are more tightly regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Historically however, mutual funds have been doing better than UITFs in general. If this is due to the regulatory aspect, then for higher potential returns, mutual funds may be more to your liking. Again, this is strictly my own opinion, I would go with safety and therefore stick with UITFs. Quote Link to comment

imn Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 ...sorry, previous post should have been 75% in SDA and 25% in UITF Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 this thread is very informative! doc pep, is it better to invest my money, i.e., P500k, all in SDA or do i have to place it in several investments, let's say 35% in SDA and 15% in UITF? If your 15% funds are for long term investments (3-5 years), then you can invest it in UITFs. For the rest, if it is short term funds, then you can go to SDAs or Special Savings.

bugoy2004 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 dr pepper whats the minimum amount if one is to invest in UITF's? Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 dr pepper whats the minimum amount if one is to invest in UITF's? Many banks and investment houses offer UITFs both peso and dollar, and most have more more than one of each, depending on the asset composition. Each UITF has their own minimum subscription, which can range between P5K to P100K. It would be best to inquire from your bank, or look at the websites for the individual minimum opening subscription of the UITF that you would be interested in. Quote Link to comment
