                    [Summary] => The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has given common trust fund (CTF) investors one year to terminate their investments and convert them into the new unit investment trust funds (UITFs).


The BSP’s Monetary Board approved the phase-out of CTFs within a year in favor of UITFs which bank regulators consider safer than controversial CTFs.


BSP Deputy Governor Alberto V. Reyes said over the weekend that banks will stop issuing new CTFs in six months and the exit mechanism will be available for a year to allow investors to convert.

The BSP’s Monetary Board approved the rules and regulations allowing UITF to be created by authorized trust entities as an alternative scheme that would ultimately replace CTFs.


The UITF can be compared to a mutual fund that pools the investments of small investors into a larger fund under the professional management of the trust entity.
