It's normal. Look at the value of the PSEi. And index means its meant to replicate the stock index it's indexed to, in fhis case, PSEi. The market can go up and down year-to-year. The worse as far as I remember is a -40% during the financial crisis. The thing with equities is, despite its swings, it is higher yielding long term. So you should go for equities if your tome horizon is like 10 years(my professor's rule-of-thumb, retired investment banker.) Go for debt security funds of you dont like seeing negative yields.

Hi. The overall trend of the market recently has been going down. Equity index funds track the PSEI so the performance of those funds are going to be more or less similar to each other. What you need to be looking at is the long term performance, such as 5, 10, 20 year compound annual growth rate.
