The Voluntary Investment Program (VIP) allows you to automatically invest in various mutual funds and exchange-traded funds for as low as P1,500 monthly or bi-monthly.
Benefits:
- Encourages disciplined investing
- Provides automatic diversification
- Hassle-free
How does it work?
To set up your VIP, you just need to decide on three things: how much to invest, how frequent (monthly or bi-monthly) and where to invest. The amount will be automatically deducted from their buying power on debit date (15th and/or 30th day of the month).
- No need to post buy orders on your own
- Can be sold or redeemed any time
- No penalties in case of insufficient cash in your account
For mutual funds, you must first complete the risk assessment and make the initial investment using your FirstMetroSec account. For FMETF, you may invest directly via VIP.
