The Philippine National Bank (PNB) solidified its position as a leader in investment fund management after its Profit Peso Bond Fund was named one of the Best Managed Funds for 2025 at the “Vision 2025: Market Forecast and Fund Excellence” event hosted by the CFA Society of the Philippines.
Held at Discovery Primea in Makati City, the event—now in its 10th year—celebrates excellence in fund management, emphasizing innovation, ethical standards, and performance. PNB’s recognition came in the Intermediate Term Bond Funds using pure FVPL valuation category, underscoring the fund’s strong performance in delivering risk-adjusted returns.
This year’s awards evaluated 170 funds across 16 investment houses and trust institutions. Only 20 funds across all categories earned the prestigious Best Managed Fund distinction, spotlighting PNB’s achievement amid a highly competitive landscape.
The PNB Profit Peso Bond Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities with a weighted average maturity of over one year. Tailored for investors with moderate risk appetite, the fund offers accessible entry points—starting at P10,000 in PNB branches or as low as P2,000 through PNB UITF Online.
“This recognition reflects our commitment to helping investors grow their wealth with a balanced approach to risk—for those looking for steady returns while staying prepared for market changes,” said Jiah Santos, head of the Trust Banking Group and chief trust officer at PNB. “We remain focused on providing well-managed investment solutions that align with our clients’ financial goals.”
