“Fami is proud of this partnership with MCN. Besides developing a new product, we’re able to showcase our ability to create customized funds to niche markets,” Fami president Karen Liza Roa said in a statement.

For now, the Salfoccus Dynamic Fund is offered as an additional financial product to members of cooperatives under MCN only.

However, it will also be made available even to non-MCN members in the future.

“Through our partnership with Fami, we’re able to bring the benefits of investing with the help of a professional fund manager to our individual members,” said Rhoda Ruth Pillerin, MCN CEO.

“The experience of many successful cooperatives in the Philippines has shown us that even the economically challenged segment of our population can build their savings and investments portfolio,” she added.
