Best Performing Philippine Equity Mutual Funds (as of May 2007)

Note: When analyzing mutual funds, you should not simply look at the NAVPS or Net Asset Value per Share. This number does not necessarily tell you whether the fund is performing well or not, but the change of the NAVPS over time does. Never assume that a fund with a high NAVPS means it is generating high returns. You need to look at actual returns of the fund over a certain time period. But then again, be reminded that past performance is and will never be a guarantee of future results.
