GSIS Kinabukasan Mutual Fund

In the field of investments as in many other areas, it is a fact that the greater the risk you are prepared to take, the greater your potential rewards.

However, not everyone is prepared to absorb the risks in placing hard-earned money in a single stock portfolio. Many people prefer a balanced approach - with a portion of their money being invested conservatively, while having another portion invested in equities to take advantage of the potentially higher growth rate of the stock market.

This type of diversification requires expertise, access to various types of investment instruments, and large capital resources. These are essentials that are not readily available to the ordinary investor, unless obtained through a professionally managed balanced fund.

Mutual Fund Concept

A mutual fund is an investment vehicle that pools the savings of many indipanviduals and institutional investors who share a common financial goal. These investors buy shares of a particular fund that has defined investment objectives and investment strategies.

The price of a mutual fund share is its net assets divided by the number of shares outstanding. This figure, computed and published daily, is the mutual fund’s Net Asset Value Per Share (NAVPS).
