Types of Mutual Fund in the Philippines
There are mainly four types of mutual fund in the Philippines: stock (or equity), bond, balanced, and money market.
Stock or equity fund invest in shares of stock of Philippines corporations listed in the Philippines Stock Exchange (PSE). Equity funds offer the highest possibility of growth among all mutual fund types in the Philippines, but they also have a corresponding high amount of risk.
Bond fund invest primarily in fixed-income securities such as bonds or treasury notes issued by the Philippines government and commercial papers issued by reputable Philippines companies. Because these bonds are normally guaranteed, the possibility of loss is very low. Investing in bond funds provide capital preservation while maintaining conservative asset growth.
Balanced fund is a mixture of equity and bond funds. The high potential growth of equity investments is tempered by the conservative growth of fixed-income securities. Obviously, the return of a balanced fund is normally somewhere between the return of an equity fund and a bond fund.
Money market fund are similar to bond funds because they also invest in fixed-income securities and the growth of the fund is conservative. The main difference lies, however, in the term of money market fund investments, which is usually short-term such as one year or less.

Money market funds are for those who wish to earn a conservative amount of return in the short-term.
