Sun Life Unveils SLP WIF: A Potential Game-Changer for Filipino Investors

In a bid to cater to Filipinos seeking investment opportunities that offer potential monthly dividend payouts, Sun Life Asset Management Company, Inc. (SLAMCI) has introduced a groundbreaking fund – the Sun Life Prosperity World Income Fund (SLP WIF). This peso-denominated feeder fund is designed to empower investors by optimizing their Philippine Pesos through strategic investments, ultimately paving the way for potential monthly cash dividends.

Investing with SLP WIF: Maximizing Potential Gains

The SLP WIF provides a two-fold investment advantage. By channeling funds into a Target Fund managed by the globally renowned BlackRock®, investors gain exposure to a dynamically adjusting portfolio that taps into worldwide asset classes. This adaptability allows for capitalization on varying market conditions, fostering potential for substantial returns and, consequently, potential monthly cash dividends.

Balancing Short-Term Gains with Long-Term Security

For investors seeking both short-term returns and long-term capital preservation, SLP WIF strikes the perfect balance. Clients can relish immediate returns on their investments, all the while securing their capital for the future. This duality makes it an attractive choice for those keen on diversifying their financial portfolio and exploring investment opportunities beyond national borders.

Accessible Investment Opportunities

Sun Life aims to make investment accessible for everyone, and the SLP WIF is no exception. Starting with an initial investment of just ₱10,000 and subsequent additions as low as ₱1,000, this fund empowers a wide range of investors to participate and benefit from global investment potential.

The Perfect Timing

As the global economy gains momentum and the Filipino population rekindles its interest in investments, the launch of SLP WIF comes at a perfect juncture. Gerald Bautista, the President of SLAMCI, expressed excitement about this opportune moment and emphasized how the fund’s creation is centered around meeting the unique needs of the clients.
