You may monitor your PERA UITF investments through your PERA Administrator’s platform. The Key Information and Investment Disclosure Statements (KIIDS) and daily NAVPU are also available on the bank’s website.

No penalties will be charged. The minimum investment requirement applies only at the time of subscription. Market fluctuations may affect your investment value.
By BSP regulation, trust assets are kept separate and distinct from the Bank's. Therefore, in the unlikely event that East West Bank should close, all trust assets, including UITF assets, cannot be touched by its creditors. You will still be able to withdraw the market value of your entire investment.
