    Study Notes

    Philippine Inflation Rate

    • Inflation rates in the Philippines from 2021 to 2024 show fluctuations:
      • 2024: 3.58%
      • 2023: 5.98%
      • 2022: 5.82%
      • 2021: 3.93%

    Power of Compounding Interest

    • Compounding interest amplifies wealth; initial investment earns interest on both the original amount and the interest accrued.
    • Example:
      • Invest 100,earn100, earn 100,earn10 interest in the first year, total becomes $110.
      • In the second year, 110earns110 earns 110earns11, total is $121.
      • In the third year, 121earns121 earns 121earns12, total is $133.
    • The compounding effect continues as long as the investment grows.
    • Compounding formulas:
      • Future Value: ( P(1 + i)^n )
      • Compound Value: ( P[(1 + i)^n - 1] )

    Benefits of Portfolio Investment

    • Save for retirement and secure financial future.
    • Potential for higher returns compared to traditional saving methods.
    • Supports business ventures and helps others in the community.

    Achieving Financial Security

    • Live within means and practice frugality.
    • Budget allocation for both short-term and long-term goals.
    • Avoid unnecessary debt and focus on savings.
    • Establish an emergency fund for unexpected expenses.

    Asset Allocation Decision

    • Asset allocation involves distributing investments across different asset classes (e.g., stocks, bonds) to manage risk.
    • Bonds can be categorized into treasury bonds, corporate bonds, and high-yield bonds for risk management.
    • Strategies include:
      • Diversification across asset classes and sectors to spread risk.
      • Position sizing based on overall portfolio allocation to control exposure.

    Trade Management and Monitoring

    • Execute trades through a brokerage, considering transaction fees and costs.
    • Rebalance the portfolio periodically to maintain target asset allocations.
    • Regularly monitor portfolio performance and market changes for informed decision-making.
    • Consider tax implications from trades to minimize capital gains taxes.
    • Maintain accurate documentation for all investments for tracking and tax purposes.
