(Inquirer.net) Rolando Dy lost to Kyrgyzstan’s Abdisalam Kubanychbek in their lightweight title eliminator in Brave CF 47: Asian Domination at Arad Fort in Bahrain, Thursday night.

The loss ruined Dy’s plan to challenge reigning lightweight champion Amin Ayoub. Dy now has a record of 14-10-1, while Kubanychbek improved to 17-2. Meanwhile, comebacking Jenel Lausa lost via points to Ryskulbek Ibraimov of Kyrgyzstan.

Ibraimov, who stepped in for Afghanistan’s Rahmatullah Yousufzai on a one-day notice, efficiently used his grappling prowess to negate Lausa’s striking game.

Lausa tried to rally in the final round, but his Kyrgyz counterpart pinned him down to seal a unanimous decision… Read More

When life throws a curveball, you can lose your investments. Your savings can also run dry. Everything you’ve worked so hard to achieve can be quickly wiped out by an accident, permanent disability, critical illness, or death.

(Business World) One of the best ways to get a return on your investment is through investing in the stock market. When done right, your money can grow more than what you initially put in. However, the opposite can happen as well if mismanaged.

The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE)reported during the pandemic, more Filipinos have been inclined to investing. In fact, a 70% increase in the PSE index was observed to date, coming from the March 2020 crash when the lockdown started.

While there is no doubt many are now more knowledgeable when it comes to investing, there are still those who are hesitant to take their money globally because they might find investing outside the country daunting and difficult given the complexities of the international markets.

However, what many Filipino investors may not know is that the benefits can outweigh risks when done correctly. Here are three reasons to invest in foreign markets, according to top Fund Managers across the globe… Read More

(Manilatimes) Listed Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) reported on Friday that the assets under management (AUM) of its wholly owned unit had exceeded P200 billion.

“Our long history of prudent fund management has allowed BIMI to grow its retail business by 24 percent. BIMI’s solid performance amid market volatility and economic uncertainty due to the Covid-19 pandemic is a testimony to our hard-earned reputation of providing stable investment outlets under various market conditions,” BIMI President Martin Enrile said in the statement… Read More

(CNN Philippines) Metro Manila – Young Filipino professionals stuck at home have driven a surge in local stock market investing. According to a report by Bloomberg, one particular brokerage, AAA Equities, even doubled its number of customers opening accounts since the lockdown started in mid-March last year.

These Filipinos are investing primarily in the Philippine Stock Exchange, where stocks of Philippine-based companies are traded. And while investing in local stocks is an excellent starting point, many can take it up a notch: investing in international markets, because the potential returns of investing in foreign stocks can be higher.

Going global allows investors to combine stocks from various markets, which means they get to capitalize on different economies, instead of only relying on one (the Philippines’). Buying stocks from international markets serves as a channel to take advantage of other countries’ economic growth, which will lead to a more diversified and stable portfolio.

New investors must consult with their trusted financial advisor to create a clear plan which aligns with their financial situation and investment goals. The next step is to find a reliable partner who will help them build their wealth and help expand their investment portfolio to global markets… Read More
