Mutual Funds - Where to Invest

A lesson from Rich Dad/Robert Kiyosaki :
"Mutual funds are professionally managed portfolios in which share of the mutual fund represents ownership of partial shares. Many individuals invest in mutual funds because of the professional management as well as the appeal of owning a small piece of many different securities rather than stock in a single company. If you do not have the time to study investing ( so you can make informed investment decisions), choosing a mutual fund or hiring an investment advisor to handle your investments may be wise. "

One mutual funds company that is reported to be the best performing in the Philippines is PhilEquity Fund managed by eBusiness Services Inc. One magazine reports that is has had a compound annual return of around 20%. Minimum investment is PhP 5,000.00, which is okay for beginner retail investors like me who want to get their feet wet and gain experience. They also cater to dollar-based investments. Visit www.philequity.net. There's a lot of educational materials, as well as financial reports and other listings showing the status and performance of the company. If I may say so, this looks like a good bet,even from a beginner investment student like me. The list of blue-chip and other companies they invest in looks very promising.
