Frequently Asked Questions about China Bank GSFund and DollarFund
What are the Unit Investment Trust Funds (UITFs) offred by China Bank?
Currently, the Trust Group of China Bank offers two UITFs, both invested mainly in a diversified portfolio of risk-free government securities. These are:

  • China Bank GSFund, a peso-denominated UITF wherein funds are pooled together and invested in peso-denominated government securities, and
  • China Bank DollarFund, a US Dollar-denominated UITF wherein funds are pooled together and invested in fixed- income securities, principally Philippine sovereign bonds and time deposits.
How does one participate in these UITFs?
As with any UITF, one participates by buying units of participation representing his pro rata share in the total value of the Fund based on the prevailing Net Asset Value per Unit or NAVPU for the day. The NAVPU is computed by obtaining the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Fund and dividing it by the number of outstanding units. NAV is the sum of all the assets held by the Fund based on current market prices less deductions, fees and charges as allowed by Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). To determine the number of units purchased, a client may simply divide his investment amount by the NAVPU.
Is there an indicative or guaranteed rate of return for the China Bank GS Fund and the China Bank Dollar Fund?
Under BSP regulations, no indicative rates can be quoted for UITFs. Since UITFs are marked-to-market, NAVPU may fluctuate depending on the situation in the market. Thus, yields are variable and cannot be guaranteed. However, references can be made to the historical performances of the Funds, although these are not necessarily indications of future results.
How will I know about the performance of the China Bank GS Fund and the China Bank Dollar Fund?
The Funds’ NAVPUs maybe obtained by calling any of the China Bank branches nationwide or visiting the Bank’s website at www.chinabank.ph. Aside from this, there is weekly publication of the NAVPU as well as the Year-on-Year (Y-O-Y) and the Year-to-Date (YTD) yields at the Business World newspaper, covering UITFs of various TOAP-member institutions. In addition, a Monthly Investment Disclosure Report is prepared and distributed to the branches for dissemination to clients.
How will I earn from my investment in the China Bank GS Fund and/or the China Bank Dollar Fund?
Earnings is effectively the difference between the NAVPU on account opening date and the NAVPU on redemption date. As the NAVPU increases, the participants earn more and vice versa. Generally, the longer a client stays invested, the better are his chances to improve earnings potential since the underlying investments of the UITF become less prone to market volatility over time.
