Yes, that may be true but come to think of it, when I invested P10K then, 6 years after without doing anything, ni-double siya. Nahulog nga passive income. With that, just for simple computation lang, the 100% increase straight divide by 6 yrs, means every year naa ko 17% na-gain sa akong money - way more than that of the bank and above inflation. Depende pud na sa unsa ka ka-risk-taker. Ang mutual fund equity is volatile pud kay sa stocks man siya gi-invest. So if dili long-term ang imo plano, makuyawan ka in those times nga mo-ubos ang value. Sa mutual fund bonds kay ginagmay (but mas dako gihapon sa inflation) ang increase but steady
Also, if you want instant gratification nga madawat dayon nimo every month or so ang ginansiya, sa traditional business jud ka padung. But for those like me nga naa day job, I'd rather trust the fund managers to do their job with my investment for now - less hassle on my part and I can spend my idle time, preparing for a business when I'm ready to quit my job.
