What Is COL Index Fund? And How To Invest In This Fund?

COL created its own Equity Index Fund, which allows people to participate in the growth of the Philippines' top 30 largest and most traded companies.

What is COL Equity Index Fund (CEIF)?

The COL Equity Index Fund is a Philippine Peso-denominated fund that aims to generate long-term capital growth by track performance of the Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi). The fund invests primarily in common stocks that comprise the PSEi, closely replicating their respective weightings in order to achieve similar returns as the index.

Being exposed to the country's 30 largest and most liquid stocks as represented by the PSEi, this means that the fund grows alongside the Philippines' overall economic prospects and improvement in general risk sentiment towards it.

This fund is ideal for investors who:

• Have high risk tolerance, believe in the Philippine growth story, and seek long-term capital growth without the added risk of trying to outperform the market.
• Want quick and convenient access to Philippine equities and its most established blue-chip companies.
• Desire to trade the volatility (ups and downs) of the general Philippine market using a broad-based index instead of individual stocks.
