Long-term investing. Not short-term trading.
Mutual funds through Rampver Financials and PhilEquity — at zero entry fee for IMG members.
You do not pick stocks. You do not time the market.
Mutual funds pool money from many investors and hire a professional manager to invest it in the stock or bond market. You invest for decades. Compound interest does the work. Trading is not investing — it is gambling with extra steps.
The Rule of 72.
A simple formula for understanding how compound interest works. Divide 72 by the annual interest rate to get the number of years it takes your money to double.
| Annual rate | Years to double |
|---|---|
| 2% | 36 years |
| 4% | 18 years |
| 8% | 9 years |
| 12% | 6 years |
Figures are illustrative. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment returns are not guaranteed by IMG, Rampver, PhilEquity, or any other party.
Three categories. One applies to you.
| Category | Risk | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Bond Fund | Low | Conservative investors, short horizons |
| Balanced Fund | Medium | Balanced long-term growth |
| Equity Fund | High | Aggressive long-term growth, 10+ year horizon |

What people ask before their first fund.
Is this the stock market?
Mutual funds invest in the stock market — but you do not pick the stocks. A professional manager does.
What is the minimum?
₱5,000 to open. ₱1,000 per month minimum for top-ups. Confirmed at application.
Can I withdraw?
Yes, but not on a set schedule — and not before the horizon matches. This is not an emergency fund.
What if the market crashes?
It will, repeatedly. That is why the horizon is decades, not months. A crash is a temporary drop for a long-term investor.
Do I need to be a member?
Yes — zero entry fee is a member benefit. See the membership page for details.
