How a Selfie and P100.00 can give you a Prosperous and Brighter 2020?

Sun Life Asset Management Company, Inc. is the mutual arm of Sun Life Canada (Philippines), Inc. It is one of the leading asset management companies in the country with over 140,000 investors and over php79 Billion in Assets Under Management as of October 31, 2019.

Before 2019 ends, SLAMCI held its Market Outlook conference to give Filipinos a better perspective about the country's current economy and investment ideas in 2020.

With strong confidence and positivity, SLAMCI believes that the Philippines is poised to get better and grow faster in the coming year, 2020.

There will be significant improvements in the coming year and the challenges along the way should be tolerable and may be balanced by the positive developments, according to Sun Life Chief Investments Officer Michael Enriquez.

With the administration having only 2 years left in its mandate, SLAMCI expects the government to go full force on capital outlays, thus expecting higher gross domestic product (GDP). If the government will follow the lessons it has learned from the budget delay of 2019, there will be a recovery on consumer spending and stronger government spending.

With all the possibilities having presented, how can Filipinos benefit from it?

SLAMCI encourages more Pinoys to grab this opportunity by investing especially now that it has become easier, more convenient and more affordable because all you need is just a SELFIE and a 100-peso to start the journey.

To enhance the investor's experience, they launched 2 online portals. First is the SLAMCI online which is a purely digital process of investing wherein you only need Php100 and a selfie to start investing in a peso-denominated fund.

Second is the Sunrise portal, SLAMCI's workplace saving plan which was specially designed for company representatives to efficiently administer the program and for members or the employees to conveniently view and manage the contributions to their investment which are done thru salary deduction.
