Best Money Market Mutual Funds in the Philippines (as of August 2007)

Note: When analyzing mutual funds, do not simply look at the NAVPS or Net Asset Value per Share. This number does not necessarily say whether the fund is performing well or not. The change of the NAVPS over time does. Never assume that a fund with high NAVPS means it is generating high returns. Actual historical returns can be used to gauge performance but be reminded as well that past performance is and will never be a guarantee of future results.
