My First Impressions

First and foremost the name of the fund is sooooo confusing. I actually can't remember it at all. ATR Em King Mutual Fund is another stable investment vehicle available for beginner and seasoned investors. Most of its mutual funds are seen in the Top Performing Mutual Fund in the Philippines.

The thing that strike me the most about ATR Em King is how cool and diverse their fund offering is. They have a mutual fund meant to be invested primarily in Asian equity securities. This is the first in the Philippines and though the amount is too high for beginners I am still amazed.

I love the fact their website offers detailed information about each mutual fund. This gives you a lot of time to understand which mutual fund is right for you. They also give information on the risk involved on each investment which is an absolute plus.

What fund will I choose if ever? In my personal opinion I will probably choose the ATRAM Philippine Equity Opportunity Fund since I am used to equity funds already with my first mutual fund, FAMI-SALEF

The CONS

  1. Initial Investment is quite high. The initial investment for some of the funds is 10,000pesos. 
  2. Top up of investments through bank. Now I'm not sure if they have an online payment already since I don't have first person experience with ATR Em King but visiting the bank and filling up deposit slip every time you invest can be a hard task. 

Overall

Again since I already have my Mutual Fund I will say pass on ATR Em King at the moment. I am still hoping to open my first direct stock investment through COL-Financial at the start of 2017. ATR Em King is pretty solid as a mutual fund business in the country and I do wish the performance of the fund will be well especially in the coming holiday seasons. 


I hope this First Impression helped. Let me know if you have tried ATR Em King as an investment vehicle. Are you ready to invest?
