Important Advisory: Temporary Unavailability of BPI Catholic Values Global Equity Feeder Fund Transactions

Dear Valued Client,

We wish to inform you that BPI Catholic Values Global Equity Feeder Fund (the Fund) will be temporarily unavailable for subscriptions, redemptions, and Regular Subscription Plan (RSP) transactions from November 3, 2025 (Monday) to November 19, 2025 (Wednesday).

This is due to the recently announced merger of CBIS World Equity Fund, the current target fund, into the newly created CBIS Catholic Responsible Investments (CRI) Global Equity Fund, both managed by Christian Brothers Investment Services (CBIS). The change is part of CBIS’ restructuring of its global funds lineup under the Catholic Responsible Investments umbrella. We have attached Annex A for the official announcement.

As part of this transition, CBIS will be suspending trading in the current target fund, which limits our ability to process transactions for the BPI Catholic Values Global Equity Feeder Fund during this period.  

BPI Wealth is currently reviewing the suitability of the new CBIS CRI Global Equity Fund, should we decide to retain it. This does not preclude us from considering other options such as changing the target fund or consolidating the Fund with another BPI Wealth Unit Investment Trust Fund, as allowed under prevailing regulations. Rest assured we will keep you informed of any decisions or changes that may affect your existing investment.

What you can do

To help you manage your investments during this period, we encourage you to:

1. Review your financial requirements and be advised of the unavailability of transactions after October 30, 2025 to November 19, 2025.

2. Explore alternative investment options and consider this as an opportunity to review your portfolio for diversification.

You may also explore our full suite of investment options.

For your reference, we have attached Frequently Asked Questions in Annex B. Should you have further clarifications, please email us at bpiwealth@bpi.com.ph or call us at (+632) 889-10000. 

We appreciate your understanding and continued trust. 

Sincerely,

Sgd.
