UITFs are NOT fixed-income investments and therefore do not pay guaranteed return. UITFs are invested in stocks or corporations issued by the government where prices differ daily. As a result, the value of your investment also fluctuates depending on the performance of its underlying instruments. While funds’ earnings are not fixed average of 6-18% a year, the potential for investor to earn is higher.
UITFs are well-diversified as it is invested in a basket of securities. Historically, UITFs outperformed traditional time deposit placements or short-term money-market funds.
UITFs do not have maturity periods. This means that the unitholders can actually sell their units in any banking day.
No. A UITF is not a deposit product; therefore, it does not need to be covered by the PDIC. However, unitholders are entitled to their proportional units in the total assets of the fund.
The PDIC on the other hand, can only insure up to P500, 000.00 of your total deposits with a bank and not your entire investment amount. Moreover, mutual funds are liquid instruments as these are invested in marketable securities.
As with any investment instrument, investing in UITFs involve a certain amount of risk. Stock and bond prices go up and down daily so does the value of your mutual fund investments. Depending on market conditions, there may be periods when the value of your investment can be lower than the actual amount that you invested.—“paper loss”. But unless the investor redeems these shares, these paper losses will not be realized.
Additionally, there are ways in which fund managers apply investment strategies in order to seize opportunities and avoid losses, and while there are risks in mutual fund investing, the returns can also be very rewarding most especially in the long-run.
No. UITFs do not have lapsing periods or expiry dates. It does not have a strict investing schedule that you must follow. You can invest monthly, quarterly, annually — it all depends on the investor when he/she will invest.
Though not required, Rampver recommends that investors should top-up their investments regularly to capture different market prices, thus maximizing the earnings potential of their investment. This also forges the discipline of investing regularly.
