With the Philippine investment industry soaring this year in spite of rising interest rates, investors from across the country and overseas remain optimistic that the Philippines can hold its GDP growth momentum at 6.5% for the entire year 2017.  There is obviously a vast majority of Filipinos, mostly consumers that are keen to tap into this economic growth by looking at diversified investment vehicles available in the market.

To balance the need and bridge the gap that affect these behaviors, the Philippine Investment Funds Association (PIFA)—the country’s association of over 12 mutual fund companies composed of fifty-eight member-funds with a total Asset Under Management (AUM) of PhP 276 Billion as of July 31, 2017—hosts it annual Mutual Funds Conference on September 23, 2017 at the 3F SGV Hall of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in Makati City.

“This year’s conference aims to touch not just issues and innovations in the industry but the lives of the Filipino people by helping them build their wealth,” says PIFA Chairman Ignacio Gimenez. “We are expecting over 400 attendees this year and we will be discussing to them the basics on mutual funds, the local regulations and also scams that they should be knowledgeable of, and of course, what lies ahead through the market outlook,” he adds. The event format will be a mix of plenary and panel sessions for better audience engagement and participation.

Platinum Partners include: JP Morgan Asset Management, Philam Asset Management, Inc., Sun Life Asset Management Company, Inc., BPI Investment Management, Inc.
