Can you retake the Risk Profile Questionnaire and/or change your Risk Appetite on GInvest?
​
Retaking the Risk Profile Questionnaire (RPQ) to update your Risk Appetite is currently not available on GCash.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) mandates that investment account owners should retake the RPQ every 3 years from the account opening date. You will receive a notification from GCash if you are required to update your Risk Appetite.

Note: You may invest in funds that have a higher or lower risk classification compared to your risk profile. You will only need to acknowledge a waiver by clicking 'Proceed' if the funds have a higher risk classification than your risk profile.

Tips! Fund managers recommend for investors to invest only up to 20% of their investment portfolio in more aggressive funds and to maintain 80% of investments in funds that are within their Risk Appetite/Profile.

Are there fees in using GCash GInvest?
​
There are no fees to be charged from your investments every time you transact. There are also no minimum holding periods. Investing in GCash has 0 fees.

What is Net Asset Value per Unit (NAVPU) and how is it determined?
​
Net Asset Value Per Unit or NAVPU is the unit price of a fund. The product provider computes it by dividing the fund’s overall value by the total number of units the fund has. It may increase or decrease daily, depending on the fund’s performance in the market.

Is there a possibility of losing my money? Is my investment guaranteed?
​
​Investing in financial markets always comes with some level of risk. On GInvest, that risk is reduced because the funds are professionally managed. This means less risk, in contrast, to directly investing in the stock market.

​Note: When it comes to investing in financial markets, returns are not guaranteed. The market value of investments can also decrease depending on market performance. The funds are not deposits and are not insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC).
