Your 12-Month Investing Journey — The Plan That Moves You Forward
Your Money Should Work as Hard as You Do
Most Filipinos keep their savings in a bank account earning less than 1% interest. Meanwhile, inflation eats away at your purchasing power every year. Investing is how you break this cycle — and it is more accessible than you think.
This course is your complete guide to investing in the Philippines. You will start with why every Filipino needs to invest now, then map out the full Philippine financial landscape so you understand where your money can go and the risk-return tradeoffs behind every option.
What You Will Learn
You will open your first stock brokerage account step by step, learn how to evaluate blue-chip stocks on the PSE, and build your first Philippine stock portfolio. You will master dollar-cost averaging — the strategy that removes emotion and timing from investing. The course also covers Philippine REITs like AREIT, DDMPR, and FILRT, UITFs and how to compare funds, and a grounded look at cryptocurrency in the Philippines — what is real, what is risk, and what is legal.
Your 12-Month Investing Plan
Every lesson includes practical steps you can take immediately. By the end of the course, you will have an active investment account, a diversified portfolio, and a clear 12-month investing plan that moves you forward. No finance degree needed — just a willingness to learn and start.
