Ang Stock Market ay isa sa mga pinaka legal na investment sa ating bansa kung saan ka pwedeng makabili ng stocks sa mga malalaking kumpanya kagaya ng Jollibee, Globe, PLDT, Ayala Corp, SM, San Miguel Corp. Para makabili ng stocks, pumili ng Stock Broker na may online trading kagaya ng COL Financial, BPI Trade, FirstMetroSec and BDO Nomura, Abacus Securities. May mga tutorial sila dyan kung paano bumili at magbenta ng stocks.
Pag may share ka sa isang kumpanya, ibig sabihin isa ka nang INVESTOR/SHAREHOLDER. Good Job! Pero di magtatapos dyan dahil dumirekta ka sa stockmarket, ikaw ang magma-manage ng investments mo, ikaw ang FUND MANAGER ng STOCK PORTFOLIO mo.
Pero kung wala kang oras para mag manage at gusto mong mas madali ang kita ng pera mo sa STOCK MARKET ay mag invest ka sa MUTUAL FUNDS.
To start, let us first define what mutual funds are. It is a company where it pools funds from different investors. The funds inside the mutual fund company are then managed by professional fund managers where they will be the one who will invest your money in diversified portfolio (such as investing it in the stock market and/or corporate & government bonds).
Defining it simply:
“It is vehicle where an ordinary person is able to invest money where the wealthy people are also investing.”
1. Mutual fund is about ownership
When you invest in mutual funds, you own shares in proportion to your investments. When the mutual fund companies earn due to their investments, you receive proportionate share of any earnings on the investments of the funds.
So if the MF company earns 12%, you also earn 12%. (Unlike the banks who just give you 1% interest) So yes, you are a part-owner.
By the way, I am NOT against banks. It’s just they also have their own different purpose (more on this on another article).
2. Mutual fund is about accumulation of shares
Have you heard the word “shareholder”?
Yes. It’s because when you invest in mutual funds, you will receive number of shares directly related with the invested amount.
Example:
A mutual fund having a price per share of P1.00.
Then if you have P100,000 you can buy 100,000 shares of the mutual funds.
Just like buying rice, the price is per kilo.
For gasoline, the price is per liter.
And for mutual funds, the price is per share.
3. Mutual fund is about investing for the long-term.
And lastly, investing in mutual funds should be long-term. As the longer you stay invested, the higher the growth in value your investments will be.
Example:
Philequity Fund, Inc. (one of the top mutual funds Philippines)
The price per share last November 23, 2010 is: 19.8651 pesos per share
As of Oct. 26, 2018: 35.3262 pesos per share
If you invested P100,000 years ago:
Your P100K would now be P177,830.324.
That’s 77.83% growth in 8 years.
Or 15.57% per year growth!
How powerful is that!?
Dito mo malalaman kung magkano ang projected value ng investment mo sa Mutual Funds or Stock Market.
