Totally noob to investment. Any recommendations? Nagask ako sa BPI about their investment funds, mejo engot din kausap ko. Hindi din masyado alam products nila.

It will help us reply to you kung may maibibigay ka pang details about yourself like age, saang bansa ka naka based (some of us like myself are based abroad) may utang ka ba, may savings? May dependents ka ba, etc. Kasi i believe wlang cookie cutter approach in terms of financial planning and investment.

 

Pero generally ito ang mare recommend ko:

1. Create a zero-based budget and track all the money that comes in and money that comes out.

2. Save a beginner emergency fund (say Php 15k - 40k) sa bank of your choice e.g. bdo, bpi, metro, etc.

3. Pay your debts like credit card, utang sa bumbay, utang sa kamag anak or kaibigan etc. except mortgage kasi laki non

4. Open a trading account or mutual fund. I'm a fan of index ETF kya i recommend FMETF. di ko alam kung may iba pang index fund na available sa Pinas (kung based ka sa Pinas). Invest as much as you can in these funds

 

Yan na lng muna kasi ko alam situation mo. Are you into real estate or business, etc. Sobrang daming variable. Tambay ka lng dito at tanong tanong ka lng

May monthly set budget ako kaya Alam ko kahit papaano (?!) Kung saan nagpupunta pera ko.

Tinitingnan ng Financial Advisor ko Ang status NG pera ko nang malaman ko Ang overall net value ko NG year to year basis.

Siyempre on paper pa Rin Ang yaman ko. Di ko naramdaman pa kasi Wala pa akong 1M na emergency fund sa bangko. Hehe

Yung Financial Advisor ko ay insurance agent ko. Free service Yung ginagawa niya. Ex-deal namin. Extra service Niya Ang financial planning sa mga clients Niya. Libre ako in exchange for being her poster girl aka mowdel sa page ng team niya 😁

Depende rin kasi yan sa kung Yung nakausap mo ba ang nagmamarket ng investment funds nila..hindi ko naman sinasabing engot yung nakausap mo, pero parang ganun na nga 😂😂😂✌️✌️✌️

 

Actually, andami mong kelangang ishare para matulungan ka ng mga milyonaryo dito...

1. How much ang monthly savings mo?

2. How much ang monthly expenses mo?

3. Ano work mo? Source/s of income mo?

4 single ka ba? May asawa? Ilan??...ang anak? 😂✌️

5. Magkano ang ipon mo/ cash on hand?

6. May mga utang ka ba?

7. Etc.

 

After nyan, may mga possible investments na pasok para sayo...pero wag pasok ng pasok, baka magdugo 😂 ...ang ulo mo sa sakit. Pag-aralan mo muna yung investment na papasukin mo at iassess ang sarili mo kung high-risk taker ka ba, medium risk taker, etc.

Gaya ng sabi ng iba, need ng mas maraming info galing sa iyo bago magkarecommend ng mas maayos.

Ingat ka rin magtanong sa banko, baka kasi ang ibigay sa iyo yung VUL nila imbis na pure investment na option.

Ii sa lang ang ETF, per may mga Mutual Funds na Index Funds. Halos lahat ng banko na may MF, may Index Fund, nagkakatalo lang sa admin fees.

As we set our goals for 2020, share ko lng tong quote na to from the book "12 Rules for Life - An Antidote to Chaos" by Jordan Peterson:

 

"Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping"

 

Taking responsibility is what gives life meaning so be responsible for your financial life, relationships, spiritual life, physical health, mental health, etc.

 

I highly recommend this book so if your like me who loves to read/listen to audiobooks, i highly recommend this.

On my last visit sa Pinas, nag-inquire ako sa BDO on investments and I was referred to their product specialist. Open daw ako ng UTIF. Sabi ko ok here is Php250K, put them all in large-cap UTIF product. I said I know the risks and won't be touching it in years. Ayaw maniwala, sabi sa akin sa Fixed Income UTIF daw ako kasi kahit konti me kita whereas sa pure stocks like Large Cap, nalugi raw sya.

Figure out your goals and risk appetite before diving into investing. Baka mapaso ka (best case scenario) or lokohin ka (worst case scenario) eh. After getting to know yourself better, check out your options. Funds usually post data sheets showing their performance and what they're investing in. If it makes sense to you, go buy in. Mabuti na ang informed decision kasi di ganoon kasakit kesa sabak agad sa gyera. Balance learning and doing and find what works for you, maraming iba ibang diskarte ang mga tao dito

 

Sa iba, ok na sila sa consistent investing sa fund na sumusunod ("track") sa PSEI, ang theory kasi doon (simply put) ay pataas ng pataas lagi ang stock market over the long term

 

May iba mutual fund/ UITF ang style. That has its purpose din

 

Still others pick stocks. Again, ibang laro naman yun pero personally I don't find the hassle worth it. I would rather be doing something else rather than look at charts all day, it's not my thing

 

Or you could consult a financial planner. Pero wag ka tanggap lang ng tanggap sa payo nya, be critical

 

Pero kung fund recommendation lang habol mo I would recommend Security Bank. Malaki ang returns nila so fund management must be doing something right

 

Good luck!

Im 31 years old Net worth

 

Bank A 400K +

Bank B 90K+

Betting Site 30K +

loans 1M +

Tsong, ying Loan mong 1M, mortgage ba yan, student loan, consumer loan e.g. credit card or business loan?

 

Prang di kumpleto ang picture.

 

Networth kasi as its basic form is:

 

Networth = Asset minus liabilities

 

Kung may loan ka at yung loan mo is mortgage, then sa asset dapat i add mo yung equity ng real estate mo. The same way MRS dis his.

Thanks for these mga sir. To answer your questions:

I'm a 35yrs old IT professional working here sa pinas. I have 1 dependent. Wala utang. Monthly expenses is around 40k, and savings is more than what I spend. Current savings is less than 1M. Kung di ako siguro naadik dati sa spakol, for sure milyonaryo na din ako tulad nyo :D .And yes I maintain a spreadsheet that tracks my money (in and out).

Not really into stocks, for me mejo mataas learning curve and kelangan talaga paglaanan ng time. So mejo i'm leaning toward mutual fund or UITF kaso zero idea talaga about them. May inooffer sakin, yung the usual na may need ka bayaran monthly for a few years, then nakalock money mo and magmature after a couple more years. Kaso parang naliliitan ako sa returns versus sa haba ng years na maghihintay.

Thanks for giving us more details. It gives us context (somewhat) of your current situation as personal finance is really personal, walang cookie cutter approach.

 

 

What are your goals that your investment would be the means for you to meet those goals? Your answer to this question i think would drive many of recommendations for your specific situation.

 

Your actually in a good financial situation compared to alot of Filipinos sa Pinas because of the following:

1. Your still considered young - if you invest now your money would compound overtime. Sabi nga ni Albert Einstein Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it he who doesn't pays it.. Personally when i started, i was in a negative financial standing(credit card debt) and i only started investing at age 31, after i get married (I'm married to an accountant). Pero since then I never stop investing and so far my dividends is giving me more than Php 50k/month.

2. Good career - I work in I.T. rin and Its a good career. And lota of opportunity local or abroad especially if your hardworking, willing to learn, have a good attitude and a good team player, you'll do well

3. Wla kang utang - this is good kasi interest on debt has the same compounding effect and your spared from that.

4. Savings is more than expenses - if i understand you right you have more than 50% savings rate. The higher your savings rate, the faster you'll reach your financial goals.

5. Current savings is 1M - have a purpose for this. Is it 100% allocated as emergency fund?

6. You know your risk tolerance - this is important. Personally i'll go with ETF or index fund since its low cost, diversified and very passive. f#&k lock-in funds. The risk and fees is not worth their promise of returns.
