BPI Regular Subscription Plan

A very convenient way to invest with Bank of the Philippine Island’s UITFs is by subscribing to the BPI Regular Subscription Plan (RSP). The BPI Regular Subsciption Plan is an investment strategy designed for investors to easily build-up their investment funds by contributing a regular amount on a periodic basis by auto debit means from the investor’s settlement account. This regular contribution will be used to purchase units to be added to your units of participation of your investment fund.

Having your BPI and Odyssey Investment Funds enrolled in the Regular Subscription Plan will leverage you through several advantages as follows:

1. It will allow you to average your acquisition cost thereby limiting the risks resulting in higher investment returns at long term. It is the same strategy with Peso Cost Averaging.
2. Investment is convenient and automatic since you don’t need to go to your bank to add additional contributions since it is programmed depending on the date you have chosen as your contribution date.
3. The small monthly contribution makes investing affordable and easy in your budget.
4. You have control over the amount that you will invest and the date when it will be debited from your settlement account.

To avail of BPI’s Regular Subscription Program, you need to have first a UITF investment fund. To have your BPI investment funds, you can follow the steps mentioned below.
