How to Properly Fill Out COL Forms

This task may seem simple, but there have been lots of repeated questions on this, so I'm finally blogging about it.

Let's start with an Individual Account.  Tick off the 1st box (Individual).  Most important thing to remember if it's an individual application is that you need NOT fill out the 'Secondary Account Holder' portion.

Who Can Open An Account with COL Financial?

Any person of legal age may open an online Stock Investment account with COL Financial, Inc.  This person may be a Filipino or foreigner, located here in the country or abroad.  Note, however, that the stocks available are only those officially trading in the Philippine Stock Exchange.  Also, there are certain stocks that foreigners wouldn't be able to purchase.

How to Open a COL Account

Here are the steps to take in opening an account with COL Financial: 

Step 1.  Determine which kind of account you would like to open: COL Starter,  COL Starter Plus or COL Premium. COL Starter is an entry-level account suitable for long-term investing which requires a minimum investment of only Php5,000.00. COL Starter Plus is for active traders and requires a minimum investment of Php25,000.00.  COL Premium is for the premier investor and requires a minimum investment of Php1M.

Why This Blog

I’m starting this blog because I have lots of friends asking me to help them with COL Financial investment.

Now, I don’t claim to know everything about stock investing.  I’m not even a registered broker.  But I have accounts with COL Financial and thus, have some knowledge on how it works.   [Thus, the title "COL Me Joey"].  Still, I would advise that you go to the COL Financial's website directly to know more about it in detail.  They have their own hotline to answer all your queries regarding Philippine stock investing.

I heeded Bro. Bo' Sanchez' call to start investing in Stocks barely 2 years ago. ALI (Ayala Land) had gone up from P16 to P27 per share, and FPH (1st Phil Holdings) from about P67 to a whopping P90 per share. You won't get that from a mere time deposit in a bank. Not to mention the dividends these 2 companies give out from time to time.
