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

the 3F SGV Hall of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in Makati City.
This
one-day event dubbed as “Mutual Funds: Your Partner in Wealth Building” opens
its doors to the public with packed sessions that steer up from the grassroots
to the most practical side of investing that will pave the way to financial
freedom.
“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.
Key local and global players in the
financial industry have pledged their full support for the event. Platinum
Partners include: JP Morgan Asset Management, Philam Asset Management, Inc.,
Sun Life Asset Management Company, Inc., BPI Investment Management, Inc. The
event is also co-presented by Silver Partner First Metro Securities Brokerage
Corp., with the help of Bronze Partner COL Financial Group Corp.

an insightful and interesting event that aims provide a mutually-beneficial
environment of strategies, ideas, knowledge, and best practices for the
Filipino people," says Head of Education & Seminars Committee. Mr.
