EastWest Bank launches the EastWest Philequity Feeder Fund, a peso-denominated unit investment trust fund (UITF) that invests 90-100% of its assets in Philequity Fund, Inc., managed and principally distributed by PhilEquity Management, Inc.

EastWest partnered with PEMI for this investment product to make intelligent investing in Philippine stocks affordable for retail and corporate investors. If offers peace of mind and confidence to investors that their hard-earned money is managed professionally and would yield the highest possible returns.

The EastWest PhilEquity Feeder Fund is ideal for investors with an investment horizon of at least five years and who understand the investment risks that come with equity securities.
