I am not an expert but my inputs may help you out. Hehe. . .by the way, if my concept isn't right, please correct me sad mga experts kay ako bag-o pa sad ko aning UITF
1. UITF or Mutual Funds - when you invest, it must be for long term. You don't invest now, and get it right away after pila ka months. Mao nga recommended jud nga mo invest ka sa money nga "extra" not your budget for your next months party
2. You may redeem at any time. However, here's what's gonna happen.
Example:
NAVPU (At date of purchase) = 1 petot
Initial investment sa BDO = 10k petot
Shares nga imo mapalit that day is = 10,000 shares.
Say after a year imo i redeem ang imo money kay kabantay ka nga dako kaayo ang NAVPU that day from 1 petot pagpalit nimo, nahimo syang 5 petot on that day.
Example:
NAVPU (present day) = 5 petot
Original Shares = 10k shares for 1 petot per share. Therefore;
5 petot (Present NAVPU) - 1 Petot(Original NAVPU) = 4 Petot (mao ni imo ginansya)
So, imo money from 10k nahimo na syang (computation: 10,000 shares x present NAVPU = 5 petot) = P 50, 000.00 ginansya ka og 40,000.00. So, if imo i redeem imo 40k, mag baligya ka og number of shares nga equivalent ana nga amount.
Example: 40k = 8,000 shares. Then, imo sya ipalit og another share that day for 5 peso (NAVPU) mubalik ra na sya og 8k shares gihapon. So useless ra imong pag redeem then palit og balik. Not unless though if mag wait napud ka nga mo saka pa from 5 petot ang NAVPU to 8 Petot before ka mupalit balik. (This is not recommended. If ingon ani imong plan, mura ra ka nag trade sa stock market.)
UITF or Mutual Funds, ang imo buhaton is peso cost averaging lang jud. Buy ka og shares consistently say every month for 1k, consecutive lang jud ka para mudaghan imong shares regardless og down ba or mahal ang shares.
3. If mag ka interest ka, it doesn't automatically purchase new shares. Mao ni purpose nga mupalit ka og shares per month or cost averaging para managhan imong shares. The more shares that you have, the more ka mo earn og interest in the long run.
I hope sakto akong pgsabot hehehe
if sayop gani, please nalang ko og correction mga experts sa investing. Daghang salamat
