[Title] => Time horizon critical in determining investment instrument
[Summary] =>
One of the cornerstones of effective investing is the determination of one’s investment time horizon. It plays a key role in making the proper investment choices, whether these involve the selection of investment outlet, the type and level of risk one could withstand and tolerate, the timing of the purchase and sale of the investment, or come to think of it, whether to invest at all. In short, knowing one’s own term preference is critical almost every single aspect of investing.

[Title] => SEC mulls control over certain UITF operations
[Summary] => The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is studying whether part of the operations of unit investment trust funds (UITFs) fall under its regulatory authority.
UITFs are pooled trust funds in acceptable currencies operated by a trust entity regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). Banks started selling UITFs last year and the sector grew to as much as P300 billion by April this year.
The possible transfer of UITF regulation to the SEC is among the items being discussed under the proposed Revised Investment Companies Act (RICA).
