Looking for a partner in a financial institution is one of the key challenges when you're about to learn and start to earn money.
This is true as a matter of fact, they're the one trying to reach us (to your) directly or thru endorsement from a friend or even officemates. But, at the end of the day, we declined these offers.
We wanted to see where our hard money goes like buying new gadgets, shopping, going out with barkadas and have fun. We do not see the big picture and we are not focused on the long term process of what will happen to your money if we put it in the right hand.
Yours truly was able to attend a sponsored talk of Sun Life Asset Management entitled, "Market Outlook & Bright Offerings" for better, faster Philippine economy in 2020.

Sun Life Asset Management Company, inc. believes the Philippine economy is poised to get better and grow faster in 2020.
"After reviewing the fundamentals, we are confident that the economy is set to significantly improve in the coming year," Sun Life Chief Investments Officer Michael Enriquez said. "While we can still expect 'challenges along the way,. these should be tolerable and may be balanced by the positive developments,"
Among the factors that are expected to boost the Philippine economy next year are tower prices and accelerated government spending. "While inflation fell to a low of 0.8% in October 2019, we expect prices to slowly inch up as we foresee the year 2020 inflation at 2.4%. This figure is much lower than 2018 inflation of 5.21%," Enriquez said.
Sun Life also expects the government to go full force on capital outlays, with the administration having only two years left in its mandate.
Meanwhile, higher gross domestic product (GDP) may also be expected. According to Enriquez, Sun Life looks forward to a 2019 GDP of 5.8% and foresees the 2020 GDP getting stronger at 7%. This is due to a combination of base-effects, the recovery of consumer spending, and a stronger government spending "following the lessons it has learned from the budget delay of 2019."
For currency, Enriquez said that a range of PHP 50.70 to PHP 52.50 to a dollar is possible. "Our year-2019 USD-PHP forecast is at 51.00, and 2020 slightly higher at 52.50," he explained.
On the equities front, while 2019 remains to be a fairly volatile year, Sun Life expects the Philippine Stock Exchange index to end at 8,600 on a best-case scenario. "Our PSEi target for 2020 is at 9,460 with a price-earnings multiple of 18.2 times, white we foresee the earnings to have a growth rate of 10.40%," Enriquez said.
As for external factors that need to be considered, Enriquez said that the United States may experience a mild but temporary recession in the coming months. With the Federal Reserve on a passive QE (quantitative easing) made, he says the US Dollar I 0-year bonds may re-test the recent low of I .5%-1.7%.
"Given these possibilities, we highly encourage investors to stay the course," Enriquez said. "it is only with a term vision and a solid commitment to their investing journey that they can benefit from a better and faster Philippine economy in 2020."
