What is a Mutual Fund?

      A Mutual Fund is an open end investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in which the investible cash of numerous investors are pooled in a specific fund ("Fund") with the aim of achieving a specific investment objective. The Fund is NOT a DEPOSIT product and is not an obligation of, or guaranteed, or insured by the Fund Manager, and is not insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC). Due to the nature of the investments, yield and potential yields cannot be guaranteed. Any income or loss arising from market fluctuations and price volatility of the securities held by the Fund, even if invested in government securities, is for the account of the investor. As such, shares of the investor in the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or be worth less than his/her initial participation/contribution. Historical performance, when presented, is purely for reference purposes and is not a guarantee of future results. The Fund Manager is not liable for losses, unless upon willful default, evident bad faith or gross negligence. Investors are advised to read the Prospectus of the Fund which may be obtained from authorized distributors before deciding to invest.
