Understand the benefits of investing offshore. Protect yourself by getting familiarized with quick methods used to help you differentiate between legitimate offshore investments from mere scams. In addition, identify ways to invest globally while taking your personal risk profile into consideration.

Many Filipinos at present are victimized by investment scams flooding the local financial market. This is an indication that the market still has a long way to go in learning about proper global investment avenues.

The global investment scene is quite new in the Philippines. Instrumental to this is the movement towards Globalization. Internet technology in particular, allows people to access all sorts of investment tools without the need for companies selling them to have physical presence in the country. In addition, our financial market is moving towards further deregulation which will thus support the influx of foreign investment opportunities into the Philippines.

Having all these in mind, it is imperative that a proper global investment education facility be available to educate Filipinos on how to spot the real deal and appropriately choose legitimate investment channels. The GLOBAL INVESTMENT CENTER will be the pioneer in offering a series of international investment courses to address this very need. As investors learn more about this, they will be able to confidently take advantage of opportunities present in the global market and hence potentially add profits to their current investment portfolio.

The Colayco Foundation for Education (CFE) is a non-profit organization founded by Francisco J. Colayco in 2001. Its mission is to promote financial literacy among average income earners, overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and students.

We believe that financial literacy can help close the widening poverty gap, stimulate entrepreneurship and wealth creation in

the country. Our mission is to help every income-earning Filipino achieve financial independence by giving them access to financial education and information that has long been perceived as only for the �privileged�. We teach them how to manage their finances effectively through wise spending, proper planning, saving and investing. This is our own little way of contributing to nation-building.
