what i'm tryin to say is dako og pay if you buy bonds or mutual funds internationally..i think sa sunlife you'll pay P10K..so gamay ra..while diri sa akong company nga gi-trabaho-an $35K is the lowest..so yun lang po...

if you have a US brokerage account, i think it would be better to invest in
Exchange Traded Funds, these funds have a very low expense ratio. learn more about these and its advantages at www.fool.com.

on the other hand, you can try the pag-ibig housing development bond.
it has 8 percent interest per annum for 5 years.

i hope it helps.

could you tell me more about the company you're working? mutual funds ba na or bonds? how do i buy them man? and do you know the rate?

[Bigfoot Oracle]

as what i've said, the company doesnt sell mutual funds and bonds anymore...

we traded with Kennedy investments before..twas all sold..so we traded on the Nasdaq with ticker symbol PDHI..no more bonds and mutual funds but plainly U.S. stocks.. i'm not familiar with the pricing and how you could buy MF or bonds in phils. I'll ask my friend who is a local broker about your Q...

A word of advise eclipse, it's good to buy stocks if your familiar with the market. STOCKS be it US or local is volatile to change, maybe up or down, low or high but if you wanna gamble your money and you're quite of a RISK taker then go with it. But if your starting, Be CONSERVATIVE, feel the market first. So i suggest go for Mutual Funds or Bonds, they are still the safest Nowadays. The Philam Peso Bond Fund can give you as much as 8.5% p.a. with a minimum investment of Php 5,000.00 pesos only. I tried it for almost a year now and my money grew constantly compared if i put it on a TIME Deposit or fixed income intruments offered by Banks and most of all Mutual Funds are TAX FREE!
