Investa TCup 2021 is coming to a close as the Tcup defense is fast approaching this Saturday, February 19 from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm. If you haven’t secured a slot for the event, register here http://invs.st/TradingCupDefense2022
Investagrams has been hosting the biggest trading event in the Philippines for over 5 years with the goal of seeking and bringing together the country’s best traders in the industry. Winners will not only receive cash prizes, but will also get the chance to defend their winning trades to the community and share their insights to fellow professionals as well.
What to expect for Trading Cup Defense 2021
The Trading Cup tournament isn’t only to recognize and award the best traders, but it is for Investagrams to grow the trading community among Filipinos, help them in their journey to be successful traders, and bring them towards financial freedom.
Everyone will get the chance to listen LIVE from the TOP 10 TRADERS of Trading Cup 2021 as they show us their different strategies and techniques that they used to grab a spot at the leaderboards of the tournament. Despite all the turmoil happening in our global economy from political dispute, FED tapering, and surge of COVID-19 cases, these pro-traders were still able to secure up to 120% gains on their trades.
From a champion who got himself out of a -60% hole taking him 4 years to recover, a 3rd year college student who ranked 2nd in the tournament, and the first ever female winner who bagged in a total of 50.35%, these traders are a MUST WATCH and role models to the community.
How did they do it?
That’s what we’re about to find out this Saturday. This opportunity only comes once every year to connect with professional traders, learn their trading strategies and psychologies in the market, and master different techniques that you can apply on your trades as well.
Who knows, you might be the next Investa Cup Champion on the next one!

We, Investa, are officially the newest market player in the mutual funds space as it releases its mobile app on App Store, PlayStore, and App Gallery! Proud to be an all-Pinoy Investment Platform, The New Investa App promises to bring affordable and accessible investments to all Filipino families.
Starting in 2015, wehad one thing in mind – to create at least 10 Million Filipino investors. Bootstrapped from being a startup, Investagrams then, did a lot of efforts to educate the people about the Stock Market and wise financial management. Eventually, Investagrams became Filipinos’ go-to about anything trading and investing.
Fast forward to today and with more than a Million users, Investa has branched out from Investagrams and continued its commitment to be Filipinos’ partner in financial growth.
With the help of the top fund management companies in the country, namely: Sun Life Asset Management Inc., PhilEquity Management Inc., and BPI Investment Management Inc., The New Investa App has become one of the few mutual funds distributors in the Philippines to offer a minimum investment of 50 Pesos.
“We created Investa to eliminate discrimination in investing. Whatever your work is, your educational background, or your status in life, you can finally become a proud investor. No need for high capital to start. Wala nang mayaman o mahirap sa investment. Lahat tayo dito sa Investa, payaman. We really want to see Filipinos soar in wealth, and also our beloved Philippines to rise above that depressing third world country status,” JC Bisnar, Investa CEO, stated.
Offering the possible lowest starting capital is one of our efforts to introduce investing to the Filipino public. For decades, there has been a stigma that investing is only for the rich and elite. Hopefully, with our initiative to make investing for all, Filipinos can now have the opportunity to start building their dreams whatever their income or class is.
As of its release on all app stores, we are so honored to have garnered these stellar reviews.
You can now start creating your dream fund for as low as 50 Pesos. Experience affordable investing in The New Investa App. Now available on App Store, PlayStore, and App Gallery. Investa is also accessible via web on www.investa.ph.
With the new data charges of the PSE for real time data and full market depth, we wanted to create a program that can help out those who may not have the budget to pay for the new charges or even extend their data plan access.
The Investa Scholar Program is our way of giving our deserving Investa members the opportunity to access real time data for FREE. At the same time, this program will also impact the whole trading community through everyone’s sharing of quality and valuable charts and analysis.
HOW TO WIN
The goal for everyone is to create as many quality chart analysis on the Investagrams platform as possible. In order to win, you will need to be part of the Top 50 most active users who publish chart analysis posts. We will post weekly rankings to keep everyone updated.
In order to qualify:
Your posts must have charts and an analysis.
Avoid spamming. Our team will be monitoring the quality of the posts.
DURATION
The duration for the first contest will be from January 19, 2022 to January 31, 2022. The next contests are to be announced on a future date, but these will be done monthly
WINNERS
The Top 50 users will be announced by February 4. The free access to the PSE Level 1 Data will be granted after the official announcement of winners. The free data access will be for the month of February, or if you have a current subscription already, the one month will be added on top of your current subscription.

A: If you are an InvestaPrime subscriber and you make it to the Top 50, the free one month access to Level 1 Data will be added on top of your current subscription.
It’s been 7 years since we’ve provided free and accessible tools, education, and real-time data for the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), and we are grateful that all of you have supported us in this journey.
However, The PSE has implemented changes in our Data Agreements, wherein every Investa user who is accessing real-time data, whether free or paying user, will cost us a fee depending on their data access. Previously we were only being charged for paying users.
We understand that some may be confused and have a few questions regarding the charts, market depth, and the data plan itself, so expect all your questions and concerns to be answered in this article.
FOR FREE USERS
For our free users, you can still access charts and other free tools with a 15-minute delay in data. Please note the following limiters on certain tools for free users:

THE TWO DATA PLANS
With the new Data Agreements, there are two (2) types of Data Plans you can subscribe to:
PSE PLAN 1: Real-Time data
PSE PLAN 2: Real-Time data + FULL Market Depth (Complete Bid & Ask Table)
If you’re only looking for real-time data, you can subscribe for as low as 29.17/month.
For our InvestaPrime, Prime+, and Prime Elite subscribers, PSE Plan 1 is free and inclusive of the subscription plans.
We decided to shoulder the cost of the real time data to all Prime users: Prime, Prime+ and Prime Elite subscriptions. However, it will be hard for the company to shoulder the Market Depth as well for any subscription as it has a separate cost. That is why we decided to offer it as an ala carte, same with the cost PSE charging us per user.
To get access to full market depth, you will need to subscribe to PSE Plan 2.
But of course, besides the complimentary PSE Plan 1, our InvestaPrime subscribers all get access to the best trading tools, analytics, and features like:
FULL access to Investa Watcher with unlimited ALERTS.
FULL access to Investa Proscreener with Built-In Screeners.
FULL access to Investa Chart
FULL access to Stock Jockey
FULL access to Investa Smart Calculator
FULL access to Investa Backtest
FULL access to Investa Terminal
FULL access to Real Time Monitoring
Higher Tiers (Prime+ Annual and Elite Annual) also get access to awesome features like:
FULL access to Invest Journal
FULL access to InvestaPrime+ Research Group
FULL access to monthly Elite Webinars
FULL access to all Investa Premium Videos and Event Archives (100+ hours worth of learning)
Q: Can you have a Data Plan solely for Market Depth? A: We cannot provide a market depth only plan since you cannot use it without real time data. Our plans are also based on the tiering of PSE.
CONCLUSION
Do not worry mga Ka-Investa, we are only charging within our cost. This is the only way we know that we can still serve you while also abiding to the PSE’s mandate.
Rest assured that despite any challenges we may face, we will continue to provide free education on trading and investments. The entire Investa Team will continue to work hard to achieve our visions of enabling 10 million Filipinos to achieve financial freedom.
PS: If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us on our social media channels or InvestaChat, we would love to assist you!

An NFT, or Non-fungible token, is a unique cryptographic token that exists on a blockchain and cannot be replicated. In the Pioneer’s Program, your NFT will be in the form of Digital Art that is limited to Pioneers (Package 3 and 4) and will be given to you via a Cryptocurrency wallet called Metamask. These NFTs will serve as your EVENT PASS to future Investa Events.

3. How to Use NFT for Future Investa Events
When you purchase the Pioneer or Ultimate Pioneer Package, an NFT will automatically be reserved in your name via your Investa Account. Once you receive the NFT in your wallet address, Investa will keep track of the Investa users that currently own the specific NFTs. If you decide to sell your NFT or give it away, you will no longer be given free access to Investa’s future events, or other perks that may be given to NFT holders in the future. The new owner will be registered for the complimentary event access.
4. What if I don’t want to transfer my NFT to a Metamask Wallet?
As mentioned earlier, once you purchase the Pioneer packages, an NFT will already be reserved for you. If you do not wish to receive your NFT in your Metamask wallet yet, you may still get the perks of accessing future Investa events. It is advised, however, to process the transfer of your NFT right after your purchase for faster transactions. The final deadline to receive your NFT will be on January 31, 2022, after this you may no longer receive the NFT in your Metamask wallet, but you will still have access to Investa’s future events.
5. Am I allowed to sell my Investa NFTs?
Yes, if you own the NFT you may sell it or gift it to other people. However, if you decide to sell or gift the NFT to other people, you will no longer be given free access to Investa’s future events, or other perks that may be given to NFT holders in the future. The new owner will be registered for the complimentary event access. You may sell your Investa NFT at any price you decide. Selling or transferring these NFTs are subject to platform fees, transaction fees, and Investa will receive a 10% royalty on every sale of these NFTs.
6. Buying Investa NFTs from the open market

It is your responsibility to take care of your wallet. No replacement NFTs will be given, but access to future events will still be given to the original owner if proven that the NFT was stolen and not sold or transferred as a gift.
How will Investa verify if I am a valid NFT holder for future events?
The current owners of the NFTs are stored in Investa’s database, and are also visible on the blockchain contract address details. If there is a dispute over the real owners of the NFT, we can verify by transacting with the users’ wallet address.
Can I buy multiple Pioneer Packages?
No. To accommodate more Investa supporters, we will limit the purchase to only one package per person.
Are there gas fees? Who will pay the gas fees?
No, there are no gas fees as we are using the Polygon (MATIC) for the NFTs to help users avoid paying high gas fees.
8. Jargons and other Relevant info
A. Minting
Minting NFTs is the process of transforming a digital file (in the form of photos, videos, etc..) into a digital asset on the blockchain or a crypto-based collectible item. This digital item is then stored in the decentralized database.
B. Cryptocurrency
According to Investopedia, “a cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that is secured by cryptography, which makes it nearly impossible to counterfeit or double-spend. Many cryptocurrencies are decentralized networks based on blockchain technology—a distributed ledger enforced by a disparate network of computers. A defining feature of cryptocurrencies is that they are generally not issued by any central authority, rendering them theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation.” https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cryptocurrency.asp
C. Polygon (MATIC)
This is the Crypto token that we will be using to mint the Investa Pioneer NFTs. We chose this so that you, the Pioneer, will be able to receive your NFTs without spending a lot on gas fees. To understand this crypto network better, here is a description from kraken.com:
“Polygon (MATIC) is an Ethereum token that powers the Polygon Network, a scaling solution for Ethereum. Polygon aims to provide faster and cheaper transactions on Ethereum using Layer 2 sidechains, which are blockchains that run alongside the Ethereum main chain.”
https://www.kraken.com/en-gb/learn/what-is-polygon-matic
D. Opensea.io
Opensea.io is one of the biggest marketplaces where you can explore, mint, purchase, and sell NFTs. Investa will be using this platform to display our Investa Pioneer NFT Collection.
E. Metamask Wallet
MetaMask is a software cryptocurrency wallet used to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to store and access your Ethereum. This wallet will also be used to create your OpenSea profile, and will also serve as the receiver of your NFT via your wallet Address.
IT’S OFFICIAL: Investa partners with one of the Top-Performing fund management companies in the Philippines — PhilEquity Management Inc.
Last Nov 15, Investa held the last episode of its 3-part series called The Feeling is Mutual: Finding your Perfect Mutual Fund Match. And for the final installment of the investment learning series, Investa was joined by the Independent fund management company — PhilEquity Management.
Joanne Marquez, Marketing Lead at Investa, kicked off the live event by giving an overview about how Mutual Funds work. She also added that different mutual funds serve different kinds of investors. She further discussed the diverse PhilEquity funds and their performances over time.
Investa CEO, JC Bisnar, continued the livestream by giving some extreme scenarios relating to investing. He discussed how people lost so much during market crashes like the Great Depression. However, looking at the big picture, long-term investments like Mutual Funds still can grow over time.
“Kahit na nakuha natin ang greatest depression… over time, nag-uptrend pa rin [the markets]. Because there is value creation. As long as di nagsara ang bansa… then that value creation becomes revenues and earnings. Then those earnings make companies’ valuations bigger. Ang tanong na lang… what did you do during the market crashes?”
The event moved forward with the special participation of @marksenpai26, a financial content creator from Tiktok. He discussed how saving alone could not free Filipinos from financial burdens. Investing is the way, he implied.
Finally, the main segment of the learning session has begun with the appearance of one of Investa’s partners — PhilEquity Management. Darlene Sy gave a brief introduction about PhilEquity’s fund management journey. She mentioned that the company started way before the term Mutual Funds were familiar to many Filipinos. It has become one of the pillars of fund management in the country. And over the years, PhilEquity has proven to be one of the best and top performing fund management companies in the Philippines.
The learning episode was also graced with the presence of PhilEquity Vice President, Miguel Agarao. He discussed different funds for different risk appetites. He also boasted about their funds’ performances over the years all because of the heavy commitment of their fund managers. “You will never find a mutual fund where the fund managers are heavily invested in their own mutual fund,” Agarao confidently stated.
The two parties were gathered once again to seal the partnership through a virtual signing, as seen below.
Investa is now officially partnered with the three biggest fund management companies in the Philippines — PhilEquity Management Inc (PEMI), BPI Investment Management Inc (BIMI), and Sun Life Asset Management Inc. (SLAMCI) just to bring financial inclusion and affordable investing to millions of Filipinos.
Diverse funds for diverse financial goals, FOR ALL FILIPINOS, can be enjoyed in #TheNewInvestaApp very soon. For more information about Investa, visit www.investagrams.com/investa.
