Money Matters

We’ve all read about how the Philippine economy is on the rise with impressive growth and more foreign investments. But how much of that really affects the average Juan de la Cruz?

Skeptics will point out that true inclusive economic growth has yet to be achieved. And while this may be true, it’s also undeniable that many Filipinos find themselves with a lot more disposable income than before. Just look at the number of people in your nearest mall during a weekend sale.

My point is that people have a lot more money these days.

Investment Choices

The good thing about being a modern Filipino investor is that there are a lot of choices available for us. There is insurance and VULs for those who want to invest in something with minimal risk and are willing to wait it out. There are mutual funds and stocks, currencies and commodities – even the virtual currency bitcoin can be used as an investment vehicle.

The bottom line is the same thing I told my friend: there’s never been a better time to invest. So take the opportunity to capitalize on it.

Financial Advisor and Introducing Broker

The forex market as we know today was traditionally the dominion of the large banks and institutions that make up the interbank exchange, where these financial giants trade currencies among themselves. This wholesale operation actually makes up majority of the transactions made on the market, with rest, including retail trading, making up their own niche spots in the market.

The retail side of forex trading has experienced tremendous growth these past few years, helped along by electronic trading and an ever-increasing number of brokers. This last point is especially important, since without brokers, anyone who would want to get into the market would need an impossible large amount of money to even begin trading. 

While a large number of retail brokers are internet-based, many of these companies still keep a human component to their operations. If you’ve ever interacted with someone representing a forex company, it’s likelythat they’re either a) an introducing broker or b) a financial consultant.

What’s the difference between the two?

These economic reports give an insight into how well a country is doing, and as such can be useful as a gauge for how the future of a country’s economy will fare.

However, there’s also no denying the benefits of trading currencies, mainly: its non-stop twenty four hours market, its adjustable leverage, its versatile platforms, and a very high chance to earn tangible amounts within a short amount of time.
