• Choose a stock broker

After researching and you’ve already had an idea about investing in the Philippine stock market, especially the Philippines Stock Exchange. And you decided that you will invest your money on the market.

Your next move, is to find a stock market broker or stock broker. These are companies or people will facilitate your transaction involving the stock market or to the Philippine Stock Exchange.

You cannot invest in the Philippine Stock Exchange, if you don’t have a stock broker. These people or companies are the middle man, between you and the public traded company that you plan to invest in or listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange.

So, there are plenty to choose from, in terms of stock broker, many of them are already well-known in this business.

Sample Stock Broker:

1. COL Financial
2. AB Capital
3. UNICAPITAL SECURITIES, INC.
4. ABACUS Securities (MyTrade)
5. PHILSTOCKS FINANCIAL INC.
6. BPI SECURITIES CORPORATION
7. UCPB SECURITIES, INC.
8. F. YAP SECURITIES, INC. (2TradeAsia)
9. BDO SECURITIES

These following stock brokers have their own rules, especially in the initial investment amount. You will just need to pick one, and just SIGN UP to them.

I, myself a user of COL Financial, but at this moment, they’re holding the registration for the new account. I don’t know the reason on this but may be, because many Filipinos already starts to invest in the Philippine Stock Exchange thru them, especially during the pandemic.

By the way, I’ve waited around 5 days from the day of the registration of the account until it gets approved the by COL Financial team.

• Invest your initial capital

After, your registration with of those stock brokers, and your account got approve, then you need to deposit the minimum initial amount to start your journey to investing.

For, when I began investing at Philippine stock market, I deposited about Php 2,000.00, since the minimum deposit amount in COL Financial is just Php 1,000.00 pesos.

I’m using the GCash App, in depositing the initial investment amount, since GCash added COL Financial in the app.

I waited around two days, to appear those deposit in my COL Financial Account.

By the way, I don’t have any idea how many days your deposited amount, if you’re using the other online stock broker above.

• Do some research on stocks and mutual funds before investing

Since, you’ve already deposited an amount in your online stock broker, before buying a stock, at least do some research about that company, so you will have to take less risk.

On how does company is doing in the present, and in the past. And how it makes their money and what asset or liabilities it has in the present.

These simple information’s could give you an idea on how this company doing, you could benefit on it or you might lose some of your capital.

Also, never believe on someone saying that this particular stock will make you a millionaire or rich, because a hot stock today will be a loser stock next week, unless, he/she is Warren Buffet.

Always remember that investing is very different from trading, which you can also in the Philippine Stock Exchange. Stock trading is a riskier game to play, especially if you’re new.

• Invest on stocks and mutual funds

After doing some research about your chosen stock, then you will just buy the stock using your online broker account, for me it is COL Financial.

Different companies have different cost per shares, big companies in the Philippines tend to cost more than those smaller ones.

So, be sure you have enough capital to buy those shares or stocks, and those companies have requirement minimum amount of share to be bought. It is called Board Lot.

Some companies have minimum of 100 shares while others have 1000 of shares, depending on how big that company is.

On the other hand, mutual funds have similarities on those of stocks but with a little difference on it. Mutual funds are pool of money that will be invested on a securities like stocks, bonds and other asset available in the Philippine Stock Exchange.

In buying shares or stocks, it will just take some couple of minutes while buying a share of mutual, which by the way cheap, could take days before it will appear in your broker account.

Consistently putting money to your investment account is one of the best ways to grow and build future wealth. Always, remember investing is best road to wealth than actually trading.

You can put at least 1,000 php every month and buy some mutual funds, that constantly follows the growth of Philippines Stock Exchange.

Or you can invest on your account every three months for 5 years then stop, and you will just need to wait, when you plan to reap those earnings.
