Money Market Fund
A money market fund, like China Bank Money Market Fund, China Bank Short-Term Fund, China Bank Cash Fund, and China Bank Dollar Cash Fund (formerly Dollar Money Market Fund) is principally invested in short-term deposits and fixed-income securities with portfolio duration of one year or less, with the objective of preserving capital and generating income from low-risk investments.

  • Suitable for investors with “conservative to moderate” risk profile
  • Expected return is higher than savings accounts or time deposits, but lower compared to other types of UITFs, e.g. bond or equity funds

Bond Fund
A bond fund is invested purely in fixed-income securities with portfolio duration which may exceed one year.  Longer-term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes than shorter-term bonds, but with higher accrual rates.  Depending on your investment horizon, you can choose among China Bank Intermediate Fixed-Income Fund, an intermediate-term bond fund (up to three years), China Bank Fixed Income Fund, a long-term bond fund (over five years), and China Bank Dollar Fund, a dollar-denominated medium-term bond fund (up to 5 years).

  • Suitable for investors with “moderate” risk profile
  • Expected return is relatively higher than money market funds
  • High probability of deviations from expected returns in the short run
  • Degree of deviation is directly related to the tenor of the underlying securities

Balanced Fund
A balanced fund, like China Bank Balanced Fund, is invested in a combination of fixed-income securities—for a steady inflow of earnings—and equities—for capital appreciation.  The equity component, which can be up to a maximum of 60% of the fund, boosts the earning potential of the fund, but carries with it a higher probability of capital losses.

  • Suitable for investors with “aggressive” risk profile
  • Expected return is relatively higher compared to purely fixed-income funds 
  • High probability of deviations from expected returns in the short run
  • Degree of deviation is wider because of equity component


Equity Fund
An equity fund, like China Bank Equity Fund, China Bank High Dividend Equity Fund and China Bank Philippine Equity Index Tracker Fund, is invested substantially in equities to maximize returns.

  • Suitable for investors with “aggressive” risk profile and longer investment horizon of at least one year
  • Expected return is high due to capital appreciation and dividend payments.  Conversely, losses may be big also due to market volatility 
  • High probability of deviations from expected returns in the short-run
  • Degree of deviation closely correlated with the inherent volatility of the stock market
