Thanks for sharing this information...

But since OMO went public, the rates had gone down drastically 👎 MMF is almost better..

In fact, the profits of any investment or business that has already gone public is often minimal..

No wonder wealthy people dey hide success codes from the poor massess, after all, the poor masseses rewards are in heaven.. God why...?

emmasoft:
OMO is now available on Myinvestar app, powered by First Ally Asset Management.
Minimum starting capital: 10k

Investment category: Low Risk.

I have been operating an account with firstbank for over two decades, March ending this year, about 95m entered my account from one of my matured treasury bills, I quickly sent a written order for my funds to be transferred into my mmf account immediately, it took my bank over two weeks to transfer my money into my mmf account, the bank manager called me twice and gave me all kinds of excuses why transferring the money into mmf is a very bad Idea, and he encouraged me to leave the money in fixed deposit that they will give me a better rate, but I insisted...

The following day, they sent a very beautiful damsel to convince me to leave the money with them, this girl was extremely beautiful that she almost succeeded in seducing me and convinced me to leave my money with them...

But with the help of God and my ancestors, I was able to overcome this Jezebel they sent to me, but it wasn't an easy temptation to overcome, some women's beauty is capable of defeating any strong man out there....

After these saga, I later vowed never to have any female as a banking officer again... I am very okay and more comfortable with my fellow men as banking officers till date..

Whenever you want to invest your money for maximum returns, our conventional banks are your number one enemies in achieving your financial goals/freedom.

Always do your personal research before going to any bank, and once you enter the bank hall, please 🙏 don't ask them how to invest your money, just tell them or instruct them with full confidence on how you want to invest your money, don't give them any room for financial advice, because you aren't soliciting for their financial advice.


Oluseun234:
Pls I want someone who has been using Stanbic Mutual Funds to date to answer this for me: I was advised to open Stanbic Mutual Funds in my city of residence. I went to their regional branch and was asked to see a lady they claim handles mutual funds, regular savings and fixed deposits. This is my first time with them so I opened a regular savings but I'm told that mutual funds rates are not stable and may crash to the point that I may find the net return undesirable so I should go for fixed deposit for 6months or more. I was confused but they said mutual funds is not stable as I assumed. I chose 6 months which is 13.5% and said this was non-negotiable. But I have not deposited any amount in my regular savings for them to move the money into fixed deposit because I don't have an online app to do this but I have filled the form for fixed deposits and will activate once I deposit 4M into my Regular account. Then I was told that to deactivate both fixed and mutual funds, I still have to come to their branch to do so in person due to fraud concerns. Well, that is not an issue so far one's money is secured but pls what do you all have to say regarding the mutual funds Yield vs Stanbic Fixed Deposit. Thanks.

Naira is rapidly growing stronger and stronger, wetin dey happen?

But we don't want a very strong Naira, it could affect our exports that is picking up little by little, 1k per dollar is okay.

Stanbic IBTC MMF is 15.92 today, and Norrenberger MMF is 18.03
Investment › Re: Mutual Funds by AncestralPowers: 4:07pm On Sep 30
@bassdow, you made a very valid point here... I agree with you completely. It is not always about high rates or swift redemption or subscrption of new funds..

Stanbic IBTC and Norrenberger operates in a very unique ways you can't fully explain to those looking for high rates and swift responses to everything....

bassdow:
Back then, dem use to call me "black cat." Some platforms don turn person to open-source where you go dey rely on fellow nerds just to troubleshoot issues.

I have account with them since 9 months ago, but I never see reason to fund am. Me no dey rush. Once I pick you, I no dey hurry go anywhere.

So far, Norrenberger and Stanbic IBTC dey try. I rate Norrenberger because you fit easily reach their people.

• @Coolis, why you end your comment like Donald Trump?
• @NJV, leaving FirstAlly na one thing, but make sure your money enter Stanbic or Norrenberger. Dem get their small issues, but dem manageable. Stanbic own na say dem be proper oga—dem no dey chase person up and down with over-high rates.

They are all busy buying shares in Dangote's refinery..


Kingemmyx:
Why this thread so silent? 🙄
Investment › Re: Mutual Funds by AncestralPowers: 6:54am On Sep 07
Dangote refinery share is extremely exaggerated, 525 per share, na waoo...

Moreover, those that are going to make the real profits from Dangote refinery had already bought their shares months ago..

Getting 17% to 19% in mmf, topping up your fund consistently and as little as you can, and allowing your money to compound will beat Dangote shares..


I have said that severally and would say it again...

Nothing like investing with your mind at peace 🕊️

No profit if you make huge gains in any company's shares and start using same profits to buy different kind of drugs to control your blood pressure.

Exactly, Quantum Zenith showed me shege pro-max, I almost consulted Amadioha for their matter... Do yourself a favour by avoiding them completely.....

At the end, I learnt a great lesson that managing public assets and operating a normal commercial bank are two different ball games...

That's why Zenith Bank is successful, but their Quatum Zenith is a national disaster.



Iamblessed8888:
Imagine if someone starts their investment journey with Quantum Zenith. Such a person will be left with a bad notion about investment

SEC should not just deal with Quantum Zenith, SEC should close it down, Quantum Zenith is a disaster and a very big embarrassment to our financial sector. Quantum Zenith operates like a ponzi-scheme.

No matter how willing you want to invest, you need basic education and little knowledge about finance, to make it easier for your fund managers and financial advisors..

After all, everybody cannot be an investor......
Investment › Re: Mutual Funds by AncestralPowers: 2:57pm On Aug 12
You are losing a whole lot of money on daily basis, you could redeem your money asap and port to another fund manager with better rates, I would suggest either Norrenberger or First-Ally. Just leave about 50k with stanbic mmf..

I so much like seeing women invest their money.......




Babygal2020:
Oh

I have over 50M there. I dey manage their low rate.

Norrenberger is 17.43% today, not bad.. but Norrenberger has all it takes to improve on their daily rates...

Most of us are still with Stanbic mmf, just that our bulk fund is no longer with them....

You get the point now..


Babygal2020:
I was thinking most of us here are no longer using Stanbic IBTC. I was wrong. I no fit leave dem shaa despite their low rate.
Investment › Re: Mutual Funds by AncestralPowers: 7:16pm On Jul 25
I sometimes feel this whole idea of diversification is over exaggerated. Warren Buffet once said it is sometimes better to put all your eggs inside one basket 🧺 and guide that basket intensively.

However, you could deposit your money in a mmf, just look for good fund manager with competitive rates, pull your funds out of stanbic and deposit it with another fund manager, but I would prefer old skool fund managers with good rates, they are many out there...


So many Nigerians are gonna lose their money with this Dangote IPO, all na hyping....

You're living abroad, depositing about 100m naira in a mutual fund of about 16% to 18% yearly, with you topping it monthly or from time to time, with the power of compounding interest quarterly, you could be financially free in few years time...

Meaning you won't have to work again and still be able to pay all your bills home and abroad with your accrued interest from mutual funds, I am personally in that position right now..

Please don't be carried away with those unrealistic investments journey that would be giving you sleepless nights and headaches.

Just go for mmf, and be aggressively consistent with topping up... You gonna be amazed how wealthy you would become in few years, that's my own life story.

vanvickie:
Good morning fellow investors. Please I need your input on this...

I'm based in diaspora, however, I've been investing on tbills and stanbic mmf.

Recently I noticed that the rates of stanbic mmf is kinda low, hence I want to move my funds to another mmf that has a higher yield, from what I've read in this page I can see that FIRST ALLY, TRUSTBLANC AND STL seem to be good. However, I'll like to confirm which of them will be suitable for sm1 in diaspora in terms of customer service (like response/replies to emails, calls etc), easy of withdrawal, ease of app usage, etc.

Secondly, how do I get a CSCS account as I am planning to invest in Dangote IPO (is the hype really worth investing in it) and probably diversify my portfolio.

Lastly, let's say hypothetically, I have 100m. How would you advise I share the funds if I am investing in Tbills, MMF, Bonds, Dangote IPO. Or if u had that amount what percentage will you use to invest in the aforementioned.

While I have some knowledge about all these from my little experience and online research, I'll love to hear from real life investors who are already in the game and those with vast experience.

Thank you.

As an Investment Analyst and Fund Manager with over 20 years experience. With over 10 years experience in the Real Estate Industry. grin

Keep 70% of your money and Buy Dangote Refinery Shares once it comes out in September (Stocks) This is HUGEEEEEEEEEE. This Shares will re-design ones destiny.
Make sure u have your CSCS and Clearing House Number, a stock broking firm can help u with that.
So immediately Dangote Refinery IPO comes out, u invest as much as u can.
You will get dividends in dollars.
This is going to be the best decision u will ever make in ur life.


For Equity, this is High-Risk, High-Reward.
There will be sweet months, there will be bad months.
This the best time to invest in Equity fund, now that there is a major dip.
Put 30% into Stanbic IMAAN FUND or Zedcrest Equity Fund. (Zedcrest Annual Profit is Massive) U can buy both.
Then keep topping up every week or every month and watch ur money grow.
This should be a long term investment.
Watch your money compound over the years.
People will be wondering if u did jazz (Thats if u can keep for 8 years at least)
This will be the second best decision u will ever make ever. Sweet for Retirement Plan. tongue grin smiley wink shocked cool


Later, If u have loose change, invest it in Money Mutual Fund.

Come back and thank me later.

Cheers to a sweet retirement plan.

MESSAGE FOR STL TEAM

Currently, the invested capital and the accrued interest appear to be combined, making it difficult to distinguish between the original amount invested and the returns earned. For transparency and easier portfolio tracking, I recommend displaying the principal (capital invested) and the accrued interest/returns as separate figures, along with the total portfolio value as it is obtained in other investment sectors.


This enhancement would help investors better monitor the performance of their investments and improve the overall user experience.

I wish this is considered. I look forward to seeing continued improvements to the platform (app).

I have an account with 3 of these fund managers, these rates doesn't always tally with what you are paid daily, sometimes you even get about 2% to 3% less... That's just the fact.

Yeah, Stanbic rate on mmf is a complete shit, in about 3 months time, it is going to be one year since stanbic had been battling around 15%+ on their mmf rate, now imagine you have over 50m+ naira with them, earning 15%+ almost a year, then calculate having same amount with other fund managers with better rates of over 17+, the differences are gonna make you cry as if someone poured hot water on you...

Stanbic swift withdrawal process at the moment is exactly how things are supposed to work out whenever you need your money, but because our system is so messed up with inefficiency, we often see such normal processes as God working miracles and wonders.


With other fund managers with better interest rates, but slower withdrawing process, just try to always initiate your fund withdrawing process days/weeks before you gonna urgently need your money...

15.13% today. Crazy work.
Investment › Re: Mutual Funds by AncestralPowers: 8:54am On Jul 07
Lol... It is better to have a good and competitive rate, with few hours/days delay whenever you want to withdraw your money, than this low rate stanbic is giving with instant withdrawal.



Nakedman:
Right. They have made withdrawal instant. One of the reason i am still sticking around them despite their bad rate.
Investment › Re: Mutual Funds by AncestralPowers: 10:18am On Jul 03
Stanbic had sent mails multiple times informing customers they will no longer accept this method of paying money into any of your investment platforms with them, you can only deposit money with them through your wallet, they won't treat or accept any funds transfer to them through any other means..

You could get more informations about their new method of depositing money into your mutual fund account, I abandoned stanbic long ago due to their poor rates on mutual fund.




Chidimercy:
Please I credited my Stanbic IBTC mutual fund since yesterday being 1st early in the morning and uphill now its yet to reflected. I used my personalised account for this transaction. Please what could be the cause and how do I resolve this? Already sent them an email and I am yet to get a response.
Investment › Re: Mutual Funds by AncestralPowers: 7:20pm On Jul 02
The funniest part is that these fund managers frequently upgrade their apps or online services, and after their upgrades, the whole service becomes more unreliable and ineffective, I begin to wonder what their IT experts are frequently upgrading.

UncleJudax:
Stanbic really need to work on BlueNest. The authentication is unreliable, especially on the 1st of every other month (payment day)
Investment › Re: Mutual Funds by AncestralPowers: 7:17pm On Jun 30
The first priority of every fund manager is to make enough profits for themselves, and they'd break so many rules to achieve their aims.

investmentvirus:
Since there has been losses, why cant the Fund Managers (for equity) sell the shares they bought earlier so as to preserve our capital/profits.

Cos it is so foolish for them not to.

I smell a foul play here. (stealing our funds) claiming its the stock market.

They intentionally keep withdrawing our funds, and claim they registered losses.

They claim to be professional fund managers with many years of experience. Will i call them foolish or fraudsters?
