    Mam kacy,

    With all due respect. If you want to be financially literate, you may want to be english literate as well. As all financial companies would put their instructions or brochure about mutual funds in English. Even sign contracts in english when you buy a fund.

    Having said that, I wish you good luck on your journey.

    hi to all,

    Recently the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued its Advisory to the investors and general public as well about the First Galleon Family Fund, Inc. investment scheme which was declared to be illegal and violates the Investment Act.

    For more information about the said advisory you may visit the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov.ph

    thanks for this info. however, if i may ask, why is it better to diversify money rather than investing in one bank?

    @claw,

    investors and businessmen have this saying “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. Even banks go bankrupt and there is also the risk of inflation, the value of your money decline overtime. Having different investment vehicles allows you to cope with that change. Its not just about banks, its about investment vehicles. Diversify where you put your money, on business, on mutual funds, on bonds, on real estate. That way your money is safer than just “in the bank” and it earns more.
