Quest for questions
We are in search of questions, especially those about building wealth, managing your finances, and leaving a legacy for your heirs or anyone you care about.
That's why we are launching "Ask Your Advisor". It is a new column that seeks to answer questions from our clients. These questions range from the simple to the sophisticated, and they're very much on the minds of those who have worked hard for the wealth they have now.
In "Ask Your Advisor: Which are better, peso-denominated bonds or asset swaps?", we deal with the two financial tools that you can use to build wealth. It is part of our mission to educate not only the wealthy, but also those who, one day, will amass riches as well.
In our second story, "Banking turmoil unlikely despite woes of commercial real estate", we examine the fortunes of commercial real estate and any implications for banks with exposure to the sector.
The last story, "March 2024 Updates: Still chasing moderate growth", is a report about inflation and the factors that continue to affect its trajectory.

Banking turmoil unlikely despite woes of commercial real estate
Last month, the New York Community Bancorp (NYCB), a regional bank in the US, made headlines after a sharp sell-off.
The reason? It reported unexpectedly disappointing financials in the 4th quarter of 2023. From a USD 164-million gain in the 4th quarter of 2022, it reported losses of USD 260 million in the same period last year.
March 2024 Updates: Still chasing moderate growth
Philippines headline inflation rose more than expected to 3.4% year-on-year in February from 2.8% in January, mainly driven by an increase in the prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages. January and February recorded the same month-on-month growth at 0.6%, suggesting that inflation is not yet slowing sequentially.
Meanwhile, the National Government (NG) posted a larger budget surplus of PHP 88 billion for January 2024 compared to the PHP 45.7 billion recorded a year ago, reflecting an increase of 92.25% YoY or PHP 42.2 billion, driven by a faster 21.15% YoY increase in revenue collection outpacing the 10.39% expansion in government spending.
