Not to be outdone, the Save & Learn Balanced Fund (SALBF) won 1st place in the 1-year category, and 2nd place in the 3-year category. The SALBF posted a 6.62% net return for 2011.

The Save & Learn Fixed Income Fund (SALFIF) won 1st place in the 1-year category and 2nd place in the 3-year and 5-year categories. The SALFIF posted a Year-To-Date yield of 12.34% for 2011 to lead all bond funds. The Save & Learn Money Market Fund, the newest addition to the Save & Learn Funds, made the biggest leap by winning 1st place in the 1-year category as compared to a 3rd place finish in 2010, its first year in the market.

FAMI president Augusto Cosio, Jr. said, “We have once again proven our effectiveness in managing the volatilities in the Philippine capital markets and our competence in managing our funds as affirmed by these awards. We remain strong in the first half of 2012 and we expect this to continue in the second half of the year as the country persists in posing positive growth prospects.”
