The reclassification poses no effect on the investment strategy of the Fund/s nor on the market value of your investments in the Fund/s. The Fund/s will continue to be managed in the same way as it is presently being managed, in line with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.
We advise you to evaluate this change carefully. If the Fund/s remains suitable to your investment profile, there is no need for you to do anything. Your decision to remain invested in the Fund/s will be deemed as your conformity with the amendment. If this is not the case or you are not in conformity with the above amendment, you may get in touch with your UITF Servicing Branch on or before April 28, 2023 to discuss other BDO UITFs/investment products that may better match your requirements. Early redemption fees and/or noncompletion fees, if any, shall be waived if redemption orders are made prior to the effectivity date.
For clarifications, please feel free to call BDO Contact Center at (02) 8631-8000 or email trustcustomercare@bdo.com.ph with subject line: BDO Equity Funds Reclassification and we will be glad to assist you.
