    I would like to look for advice here in tsikot regarding investment.
    I’m 28, married. I just don’t know where to really put 3.8m savings (this is a separation package as i was retrenched by my company but fortunately i got new job the day after i got retrenched with 30% increase).
    So here’s my situation, my wife and i already owns 2 vehicle (fxt,civicrs) so we dont really need a new one. We also have ongoing truck vehicle loan which has remaining 700k total balance. Currently, we are paying monthly for our home.

    I’m the only one who’s working so i really want to know where can i put that extra 3.8M for the next 3-5years.

    ask your bank for its portfolio of "safe investments".
    kahit maliit interest, medyo sigurado naman.

    There's an upcoming offer by SMC of preferred shares series J, indicative rate is 5%, or 4.5% net of tax, interest paid on a quarterly basis. Alternatively, you can buy from the market other preferred shares offered by Ayala, Petron, FGEN, etc.

    Or if you like a little risk, buy your favorite blue chip brand in the stock market and hold at your desired timeline of 3-5 years. Do not buy speculatives.

    Lump sum on the house. Sarap ng fully-paid property.

    If you're feeling risky, pangdown mo for a new property so dalawa na property babayaran mo - 30% increase ka naman sa income mo diba. Land will only go higher as it gets more scarce every single day.

    We are the same age and the same stage (newly married) - my bonuses all go towards lump sum payments to fully pay our condo.

    Use the money to pay off your debts/loans.


    Or.

    Use the money to scoop up some real estate with low prices (benta palugi) due to the pandemic


    Bonds = returns are pathetically low for me
    Mutual funds/uitfs = majority of ph fund managers can't even beat the psei index.

    Yes, fully paid all your debts if possible so you will be living a debt free life... the rest you can try the pag-ibig mp2 program... sure it’s safe and risk free investment...

    Thank you all for your input, appreciate it. Aside from paying off the homeloan and investing on safe instrument, how about paying off the truck instead? Currently we have 3, all of which are in logistics services. With the fully paid amount, i will have additional income to pay other loans. Now just want to have different inputs specially some folks here already experienced what i have now. Again, thank you guys!

    The reason why you prioritize loans is that your money does not earn the same interest rate as your loan. It's like getting a much higher rate for your money now.

    Pay of your housing loan and truck loans. By far the best decision you can make this early in your life.

    Not many people have that opportunity this early.

    Frees you up for further investments and risk taking down the road.

    Same lang whether you pay off the truck or the house. Whichever has a higher interest rate.

    Point is when you pay off your loans then you're essentially getting returns equivalent to the interest rate that you will no longer pay.

    Just check the fine print of your loans if they allow lump sum payments. I had a 3-month long exchange with BPI because they were trying to charge me for my lump sum payment when my contract specifies that I shouldn't. Net, they confirmed no penalties but it was such a hassle.

    When you fully pay off your loans you can use your assets as collateral if you need to take out bigger loans in the future.
