Philippine UITF Performance 2016

Image
The Philippine Stock Exchange ended the previous year at -1.6% - one of the tripartite of the Asian Market losers of 2016, just behind China and Malaysia. This of course trickled down to the country's Mutual Funds (MF) and Unit Investment Trust Funds (UITF) which generally settled in the negative territories. There were a few exceptions however with the top 8 Equity UITFs defying the market downturn (5  for Balanced Fund). I was particularly impressed with BDO's Dividend Fund registering an 8.10% increase. In fact 3 funds from BDO booked positive returns. The funds however were not quite as impressive at the end of the prior year. BDO's Sustainable Dividend Fund and Focused Equity Fund ranked 26th (-15.74%) and 27th (-18.11%) respectively that year (ESG Equity Fund performance was not available for 2015).

Geek Wishlist: External GPU

That's the Omen Accelerator - the newest external GPU enclosure from HP which will be released in NZ in September. I wanted to play my PC games again since I left my decent rig back home. I cannot bring my bulky rig across the Pacific Ocean without breaking the bank. Also, having no permanent address really doesn't help in assembling a super rig once again.

Insider Trading Alive and Well?

Image
Is FGEN finally now on a reversal after a 2-year downtrend? Probably. It was up by 15% in the last two trading days of the past week. And as of this writing, it is already up by another 7%. Twin glorious white candles of the past week I knew there's something boiling. Then boom! Alert Message from COL Financial Question remains: Where do you draw a line between Insider Trading and trading based on pure public knowledge? That's rhetorical by the way and I'm not in any way complaining. I got like 14% FGEN in my portfolio I bought near the bottom. So this is pretty much a happy surprise for me.
