The heart of why I do this seminars is I want to build a generation of Filipinos with the right foundation in stock investing.  I want to bring smart investing to every Filipino around the world! If you would like to know more on how you could time the market checkout the trainings below.

What is a time deposit?

A time deposit is an interest-bearing form of bank deposit that has a specified time of maturity. It requires the customers to deposit a certain amount of money in a bank and wait for it to mature or earn interest without any withdrawals. Interest earnings are determined quarterly, monthly, or annually. Although the amount you deposited will be inaccessible until the end of your time deposit (withdrawing the amount before a specified period of time will incur certain penalties), you will still have regular cash-flow in the form of interest payments.

Leading banks

In the Philippines, there are a number of banks to consider if you want to make a time deposit. Although, for all banks it is common that your earnings are higher if you invest a higher amount for a longer period time, there are banks with relatively higher time deposit rates than others. Below is a list of the best banks to include in your bowl of choices if you ever think of putting your excess money in time deposit.
