BDO Easy Investment Plan (UITF Investment)
I already have the BDO EIP (Easy Investment Plan) and me and my wife choose UITF – unit investment trust fund for equity. It is is very easy to have an investment in UITF in BDO (Banco de Oro). The following is the details on how we started in BDO Easy Investment Plan. Last Thursday, I opened a savings account at BDO (worth P5,000) and I tell the clerk to link my BDO savings account in their EIP (easy investment plan). The clerk ask me if I am knowledgeable about investing? I said, yes. “Which investment products on EIP you are planning to invest with?” I like UITF (unit investment trust fund). And I tell her to debit my savings accoount a P2,500 every 5th of the month to use in my BDO EIP UITF. The reason why I choose UITF equity is because I am planning t invest using PCA “peso cost averaging”, which it has a lot of advantage even the market will be going to get up or down.
BDO Easy Investment Plan (UITF Investment)
As easy as that, thanks to BDO for this investment opportunity, now I am an investor., my goal is to invest in BDO EIP UITF worth P2,500 within 5 years. And when my other business grows (agri-business) I will going to add additional P5,000 (total of P7,500 per month and make it within 10 – 20 years). Is that a good idea? Of course, for i know TIME is GOLD. I am very confident of this. Thank you Lord for this great opportunity.
