INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY


The Fund aims to preserve capital and generate income from low-risk fixed income securities with a portfolio weighted average life of
not more than one (1) year. The Fund’s benchmark is the 91-day T-Bill rates.

CLIENT SUITABILITY
A client profiling process should be performed prior to participating in the Fund to guide the prospective investor if the Fund is suited to
his/her investment objectives and risk tolerance. Clients are advised to read the Declaration of Trust/Plan Rules of the Fund, which may
be obtained from the Trustee, before deciding to invest.
wThe BDO Peso Money Market Fund is primarily suitable for individual and corporate investors with moderate risk appetite and who are
looking for safe and liquid investments with yields relatively higher than those of savings and time deposit accounts.
wParticipants/trustors are recommended to stay invested in the Fund for at least six (6) months.

KEY RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT


You should not invest in this Fund if you do not understand or are not comfortable with the accompanying risks.
Interest Rate Risk. This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to changes in interest rates. The purchase and sale of
a debt instrument may result in profit or loss because the value of a debt instrument changes inversely with prevailing interest rates.
Market/Price Risk. This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to changes in market prices of securities. It is the
exposure to the uncertain market value of a portfolio due to price fluctuations.
Credit Risk/Default Risk. This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to a borrower’s failure to pay the principal
and/or interest in a timely manner on instruments such as bonds, loans, or other forms of security, which the borrower issued.
Reinvestment Risk. This is the risk associated with the possibility of having lower returns or earnings when maturing funds or the
interest earnings of funds are reinvested.

The Fund employs a risk management policy based on modified duration. Modified duration measures the sensitivity of bond prices to
interest rate movements. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. The higher the duration, the more the NAVPU will fluctuate in relation to
changes in interest rates. All the Fund's investment outlets undergo evaluation in accordance with the Trustee's Investment Policy
Manual. Regulatory exposure limits are monitored on a regular basis. The Fund may also use financial derivative instruments solely for
the purpose of hedging risk exposures.

wTHE UIT FUND IS NOT A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE PHILIPPINE DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
(PDIC).
wRETURNS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED AND HISTORICAL NAVPU IS FOR ILLUSTRATION OF NAVPU
MOVEMENTS/FLUCTUATIONS ONLY.
wWHEN REDEEMING, THE PROCEEDS MAY BE WORTH LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL INVESTMENT AND ANY LOSSES WILL
BE SOLELY FOR THE ACCOUNT OF THE CLIENT.
wTHE TRUSTEE IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS UNLESS UPON WILLFUL DEFAULT, BAD FAITH OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

OTHER DISCLOSURES
OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY
June inflation decelerated to 2.7% coming from 3.2% the previous month. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), this is
attributable to the slowdown in commodity prices mostly due to base effects and the implementation of the rice tariffication law. The Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) chose to maintain its interest rate at 4.5% but will likely cut it in the next Monetary Board meeting in August as it
foresees manageable inflation for the rest of the year. As the final tranche of 50 basis points out of the 200 basis points slash in the reserve
requirement ratio (RRR) took effect in end-July, time deposit rates went down drastically to 3.7% for one- to two-month placements from 4.25%
previously. The PMMF’s duration for July was at 0.82 years.

INVESTMENT POLICY / PROSPECTIVE INVESTMENTS


The Fund may invest in deposits in the trustee’s bank or in other banks, securities issued or guaranteed by the Philippine Government
or the BSP, tradable securities issued by any supranational entity and exchange-listed fixed income securities. Subject to BSP
guidelines and the Trustee’s Trust Committee approval, the Fund may also avail of financial derivative instruments solely for the
purpose of hedging risk exposures, as well as invest in other tradable investment outlets/categories as may be deemed suitable for the
Fund.
