yinkaoke:
Please how true is this, you lodge cash dollars into your dom account and the bank now says you can not transfer cash lodgment except you withdraw .
I thought its been reversed please help

@yinkaoke, that is the CBN current policy on using the dollars in your account. It's the way the dollar enters that is how it will come out.
If it was a cash deposit, you must withdraw; if wired, that is when it can be transferred.

Sincerely, this has been one of the major issues many investors have concerning dollar funds investment.

However, Norrenbeger Asset Mgt. has tried to overcome the hurdles by accepting dollar deposits or naira for the Norrenberger dollar fund.
You can chat me up or complete the attached form to open a norrenberger dollar fund account.

Yemoskii:
Thanks for the clarification however it seems Stanbic IBTC Bank was at some point also a Custodian because we were able to fund MMF accounts through it.

@bfn1 and @freeman67 you guys said it all. Well done. @Yemoskii your observation is correct some years back it was like that, the collection account was always with the affiliate bank of the fund managers, The regulator ie SEC saw some risk in that process and decided that the custodian bank must not have any affiliation with the fund manager to avoid a situation of being a judge in your case. The idea is to strengthen checks and balances in the mutual funds market and to have better corporate governance.

By the way, anytime you come across a fund manager having a collection account with its affiliate bank, please run, it's a red flag. In fact, it should form part of your due diligence while trying to invest in any mutual fund with a fund manager.

Olaide1295:
Boss abeg, tell InvestmentOne to make it possible for us to buy on the secondary market without having to email their support team.
People are busy, and don't want long drawn out conversations with support. I would be using investment-one more often if they used technology to make things easy.

Your feedback is noted.
The process is seamless though. I hope you are talking to the right team.
Anyway please chat me up.

Pls house, my own question is, How safe is it to invest in T-bills with this rate?? I have been doing it for 12 years and the highest rate was 14% seeing it stop at 20% for a while now still amazes me. Yes I know inflation rate is high and other factors may have contributed to the sudden rise but pls experts in the house, are our monies still safe?. Hope we won’t wake up one day and hear stories. This our current government no get mercy o

If the rate is low we worry, if it's high we worry. Watin we really want sef. That is by the way. @exclusiveoloori, there is nothing to worry about. Enjoy the high rates while it lasts after all even with the current rate investors still have negative real returns compared to the current inflation.

Tohmey:
Geez
It's too high oo
What of retail investors wey no get upto 5k dollar
Wey get like 1k

This is not a Dollar fund. It's a placement where both the capital and interest are guaranteed.

Alternatively, you can do a dollar fund with Norrenberger, the minimum is $550

Tohmey:
Welldone sir, I already av account with i-ONE but how do i partake in this dollar fund and moreso what is there minimum invest amount

A305:
when the rates gets reduced in the future, maybe by then more investors will sign up for the Dollar based MMF or diversify into other investments.

But this current upward trend is scary to me — I use to think maybe it's not only Nigeria because Kenya's MMF rate is currently at 13% - 15% but what's scary about that of Nigeria is the rate at which it is shooting to the moon like we trading crypto here.

I know the Government is trying to mop in cash and also stimulate the economy with these crazy TBill rates, however the bigger picture I am painting here is total collapse of the Naira currency. Zimbabwe currency was a text book example of what I am saying here; this should also be a wake up call.

At this point, I'm starting to think the government can't help it.

Don't be sacred. The economy has a way to balance things up. If you were already conversant with the economy or the capital market in the major part of 2008 and 2009 or even not too long as in 2020 you will understand what I mean. One thing you should know is that at any point in the economic situation in Nigeria, it's an opportunity for you as an investor. it's just for you to identify these opportunities and benefit from them.

A305:
Hello house,

I'm really scared for the economy the way MMF rates keeps spiking everyday like it's bullish cryptocurrency season.

It's an indication that our economy is unhealthy and the inflation is on the increase.

I don't feel good about it.

@A305 enjoy whatever u see while it last. What we are see now is not new. We have seen crazy rates in time past in both sides ie extremely high rates like what you see now and the opposite as seen about three years back where Tbills and MMF were less than 5%
What investors should be focus on now is getting returns that will reduce negative real returns with respect to the current inflation rate.

ceelog:
Hello Emma

Please why do you rep this Norrenbergee?
Do let me know.

You mentioned it alongside SFs.

@ceelog I Rep them because I was recommended and I did my due diligence to see if they met my criteria for such representation. They are SEC-regulated and their products are SEC-registered
Norrenberger is doing well and has been around for the past 5 years but was concentrating on corporate clients, now they wish to build their retail customer base. They are in a group - they own IEI, pension, microfinance bank, stockbroking, and asset management. They also own 60% of Infrastructure Bank.

You can open an account with them for MMF, Dollar fund etc. The account opening form is attached to this post

davit:
With the latest Heritage Bank saga, I'm beginning to think that having more than 5million with a bank is a risk on its own since NDIC won't pay back more than that in case of liquidation.

Doing MMF and co too, I think it is advisable to split the money with different banks if one has more than 5million to invest .

@davit Yes it's good to manage risk but the law regulating fund management differs from that of MDBs. More than one fund manager is advised because of customer satisfaction and operations, not so much because of the safety of your funds. The risk on your funds is guided by the type of fund, not the fund manager. Irrespective of the fund manager, MMF remains a low-risk investment and by law your capital is guaranteed. The investment you see in your MMF is not in cash. The money being collected from investors is invested in short debt instruments like Tbills and Commercial paper and FGN Bonds for fixed-income funds, though there could also be bank deposits. As part of the regulation, you will notice that the collection accounts for all fund managers are mostly systemic important financial institutions. Not all banks can be allowed to go the way of Heritage, so rest assured your MMF is safe and remains a low-risk investment.

The real caution for every investor is to ensure any fund manager you wish to invest with MUST be SEC regulated and the product also SEC approved. Remember having a CAC certificate of company registration is not the same as being regulated by SEC.
Let's be well-guided.

Grupo:
Do you have the email of their customer care? Or do you have their URL, I mean gt fund managers.

infoteam at gtfundmanagers dot com is what I used the last time I communicated with them. You will need a lot of patience o, it could also be otherwise.

Grupo:
I had small money (mutual funds) in my investment one account some years back. I totally forgot about the account.

I just remembered the account now and logged in. And the account is totally empty. Nothing there. I can't even find the mutual funds section again. Is there anyway for me to access my money?

@Grupo this is what happened, the mutual fund business of investment one was sold to GTBank when they were to attain the HoldCo structure. Investment One is no longer in the mutual funds business. Your investment is not lost. It's with GTFund managers. Unfortunately, their portal has been down for a long time now. You can only know what you have in your account by sending mail to their customer care requesting your account statement.

You can look the way of Norrenberger if you want to patronize more fund managers. The form is attached.

SetrakusRa:
I've been trying to open an account with these guys. signed up twice, received an email that they'll get back to me with my details and nothing from there.

It's very annoying how these guys behave.

That is strange. I just opened a dollar and Money market fund for a prospect some few days back and it was done in a matter of hours. The person in question have invested already on same day.

Chat me up to see what could have gone wrong and for a resolution.

freeman67:
I think it's more of lack of knowledgeable and committed personnel than size. This past week will make it about the 4th time I will pay money to their collection account to be credited to my MMF this year alone and it wont. For God sake, the money is sent from my account and my e-account is boldly written as required but they will claim my bank did not include my e-account. Most of this times before I call to complain, I have already sent mails detailing everything and it will be received without reply.


Then after calling them, I will and through the conversation I will discover they actually received the funds. Let's say my Bank did not send you my e account in the remark as you said. I will also discovered they have received the mail stating my details and all and promised to send inform the department in charge of it but that won't happen till I keep calling and calling. Just to get my account credited ooo. That one of last week has still not been credited after acknowledging that they got the funds and me sending all required details before they even asked.


That's fine though, because it made me adjusted in other things I would have done with them. I had their all in one app and I require and patronise all the services in it. It first started with trying to open a stockbroking account with them and it was hellish till when I was no longer interested then I started getting replies to their mails. Then, someone in their pension arm started marketing me to move my pension there. I no longer fancy any drama with them so I had to pend it. The only thing still keeping me with their Asset Management is just their ease of withdrawal once everything is right. If not I would have been far gone from them.

@freeman67 I agree with you. Most financial institutions have lost many good hands because of the Japa syndrome. However, the fact that they are big can't be ruled as well. As I said, having at least two firms or more could just be away to avoid being trapped with any firm.

Batman2412:
Like 2 fund managers with same product eg ucap mmf & fsdh mmf or 2 fund managers with different products eg dlm fif & stanbic mmf?

It depends on your priority it can be the same product or different products.

Stanbic - MMF
SFS - Fixed income fund
Norrenberger MMF and Dollar fund.

Streetinvestor2:
Is axamansard the same as gtbank mmf

No, they are not the same. GT MMF was formerly Abacus MMF managed by Investment One but was sold to GTB when they became a Holdco. Yes, Axamansard was the former GT Assurance.

I think some of the lapses at Stanbic are because of size. They need to look well to match their customers' needs because their customer base is large.

Sometimes, as an investor, it's advised to have at least two fund managers to achieve optimum satisfaction.

Jokay07:

I did a top up on my investment on Monday and up till today the investment is yet to reflect in my account...have sent mail, called customer service...


They keep saying close of business it will reflect but still yet to reflect

Please who have experienced this or is experiencing such from standic mmf

Scenarios that could bring about delays in deposits reflecting in investors' accounts.

- Transfer made from a third party's account whose account name is different from the investor's name
- When the e-account number was not used as narration or description
- Card payment
- System glitch at the time of payment.

Good morning to everyone.....Please i need someone to help me differentiate between RI (right issue) and bonuses or bonus shares. what does the shareholders stand to benefit from both of them.

Simply put, Right issue is when quoted companies sell shares to existing qualified shareholders in most cases at a discount price compare to the current price of the stock on the NGX. Here shareholders pay for the new shares.
It's not compulsory you participant in a RI, it's by choice.

Bonus as the name implies is like a gift. This is when companies give extra shares to qualified existing shareholders at the expense of the company. Here shareholders don't pay for the new shares.
Shareholders get Bonus not by choice even if you are not aware your cscs account will be credited with the bonus due you unlike RI where you have to make a choice.

In both cases, your shares increases but for one you pay - RI while the other you don't pay - Bonus.

Mansard do me strong thing even with 128k EPS... them get mine
welcome back... I miss you oooo

Mansard has retraced their steps. They are to pay a final dividend of 34kobo to make a total of 40kobo with 6kobo already paid as interim earlier—page 33 of their annual report.

DrAkpa:
So it's not like the money used to invest on the shares goes into the account of the company whose shares is being purchased?

No, not at all. Trading on the shares of listed companies or price rallies benefits shareholders who are involved directly not the companies per se.
The benefit the companies gets is the fact that it increases their value. Which is useful for them in other market transactions and some deals that requires valuation of a company.

2zona:
Who really spends and utilizes these funds invested on the stock market. Like when I purchase shares of say zenith bank worth 1million naira and my account is debited. Whose account is actually credited and what will that 1 million be used for?? I really want to know please.

The stock market is regulated but a very free market where entry (buy) and exit (sell) is easy.

Just as you came in with 1m to buy that is how an investor came into the market to sell zenith bank shares worth 1m or more.
The 1m you brought in goes to the account of the investor that brought in the shares you bought on the floor. The way the money and the shares changes hands that is why we have T+3 days in stock market transactions. When there is a deal, settlement ie clearance is done within three days and the shares you bought settles in your cscs account while the cash of the seller settles in his/her bank account. The whole process is made possible by the stockbroker, NGX, the bank, and the CSCS Plc hence both you the buyer and the other investor the seller pay some charges for the service rendered by these operators and regulators.

Mankind2024:
Meyer pd N0.3
Seplat pd $0.03 cent or N42

Yes, they paid 3cent and based on the conversion rate, the naira equivalent is N39.3. The normal dividend and special dividend amount to N78.6

Macktaob:
Lol, bro thought it’s 18% monthly.

Sometimes when it comes to investment rates like this, some investors go just forget simple interest and start thinking otherwise na wao.
