Possible to invest in mutual funds or UITFs while abroad?

Several Pinoys outside the Philippines, especially Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), are wondering whether they can invest in mutual funds or unit investment trust funds (UITF) even if they are outside the country.

A few PMT members are reporting that it is indeed possible. Some mutual fund companies or banks offering UITFs, they say, accommodate placements although the investor cannot make a personal appearance.
