Financial asset at fair value through profit or loss<br />

In January <strong>2014</strong>, the Company entered into an investment management agreement (IMA) whereby<br />

the Company availed of the services of Security Bank relative to the management and investment<br />

of funds amounting to ₱500.0 million.<br />

Among others, following are the significant provisions of the IMA:<br />

The Investment Manager shall administer and manage the fund as allowed and subject to the<br />

requirements of the Central Bank of the Philippines and in accordance with the written investment<br />

policy and guidelines mutually agreed upon and signed by Security Bank and the Company.<br />

The agreement is considered as an agency and not a trust agreement. The Company, therefore,<br />

shall at all times retain legal title to the fund.<br />

The IMA does not guaranty a yield, return, or income on the investments or reinvestments made<br />

by the Investment Manager. Any loss or depreciation in the value of the assets of the fund shall be<br />

for the account of the Company.<br />

The Company accounts for the entire investment as a financial asset to be carried at fair value<br />

through profit or loss. Mark-to-market adjustment on the securities is taken up in the consolidated<br />

income statement amounted to ₱23.6 million in <strong>2014</strong>.<br />
