EastWest Ageas launches 2 new funds for aggressive investors

EastWest Ageas Insurance is expanding its portfolio offering with the launch of two new peso equity funds – Peso Active Equity and Peso High Dividend Equity for aggressive investors.

The two new funds, which are exclusive to EastWest Ageas, aim to get higher returns than the index and are suitable for investors looking for more long-term opportunities beyond 10 years.

They are great choices for people who believe they deserve more out of their investments and are looking to play the long game, according to the company.

“For investors looking for a fund that is focused on reinvested dividends and price appreciation, the Peso High Dividend Equity is the right fit. It is a portfolio of stocks only with regular dividends. Its fund risk profile is more aggressive versus the current Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) tracker fund,” EastWest Ageas said.

Meanwhile, the Peso Active Equity is a solid option for investors that can be invested in several stocks across all industries. It is aggressive with higher risk appetite than PSEi Tracker Funds, with higher potential returns. Its portfolio is focused on price appreciation and serves as a good option for someone who’s willing to take on financial risks in exchange for potentially higher returns, the company said.

EastWest Ageas Insurance combines the financial strength of EastWest, which has nearly 30 years of local banking experience, and Ageas, a global insurer with a nearly 200-year history.
