Philippine Mutual Fund Awardees: 2014 PIFA 8th Annual Awards Night
Here are the results of the Philippine mutual fund awardees of the PIFA (Philippine Investment Funds Association 8th Annual Awards Night held at Solaire Resort and Casino last August 14, 2014.
Due to my curiosity and want to share these results to the readers and regular visitors of InvestmentTotal.com, Filipinos who are looking for the best mutual funds companies here in the Philippines, some OFW are asking me about the top performing mutual funds in the Philippines, I just somehow write the performance and answer their questions by letting them think about the “top performing” and those funds who got “awards”.
When investing in mutual funds, we have to really consider the past performance, although the performance does not guarantee a good future returns, in the PIFA (updates) the mutual fund industry has grown to two hundred fourteen billion pesos as of June 2014.
If you want to start investing in the mutual funds, you must know which is the best, maybe we can say just “choose the best and forget the rest”, but it always depends on how you invest, do you invest with convenient, to those mutual fund companies with great services, or just want to invest to help you realize your financial goal.
