emmasoft: 1. Performance of the assets in which d fund is invested determines the rate
2. Yes interest is accrued daily. The displayed interest ie 10.31% is per annum so for a day it will be 10.31/365
3. By default interest accrued will be reinvested at the end of each quarter. Investors can now opt for the accrued interest to be paid to them every month or paid at the end of the quarter. The monthly payment option is unique to FSDH generally accrued interest is paid/reinvested quarterly So no real guaranteed rate meaning rate can get as low as possible and can go as high as possible. What is the frequency of change of this rate or at what frequency is it reviewed?. For instance, the current rate is 10.31% P.A which means accruals will now be done with that rate. Is the rate revalued on a daily, monthly or quarterly or yearly basis?. |

emmasoft: By the name and regulatory rules, Coral money market funds can never be invested in stocks. the underlying assets are basically Tbills, and commercial papers. If mutual fund assets have stocks as part of it, it's no longer a money market fund instead it's a balanced fund. That is why MMF is a low-risk investment window.
Features:
Underlying Assets: Treasury bills, commercial paper
Rate as at today 10.31%
Minimum investment of N5, 000.00 and subsequent investment of N5, 000.00
Invests 100% in fixed income securities and money market instruments
Fund Manager: FSDH Asset Management Ltd Lower risk Custodian: UBA Trustees: UTL TRUSTEES Regulator: SEC
Reinvestment, quarterly payment or Monthly withdrawal of interest allowed
High interest rate double digit - Monthly payment of interest - Quarterly interest payment - Compounding of interest - Easy entry and exit - Top up of funds at anytime with ease - No WHT on interest - For Long or short term and can be invested for minors as well - Safe and guaranteed capital - Superlative customer service then come over and invest in (1) How is this rate determined on a daily basis (2) Is interest accrual daily and if so what rate is used (3) What do you mean by "Monthly payment of interest" and "Quarterly interest payment"?. Is it that somebody has to choose one of the options?. |

emmasoft: As per current rate, Coral money market fund managed by FSDH is a very good alternative. Let me know when you are ready to come onboard Post the characteristic of Coral money market fund as iam not comfortable with mutual funds that invest a large percentage in stocks. When i had not yet be grounded in financial markets, a mutual fund i subscribed to for my kids almost wiped out the money. I had to quickly pull out and then made it up the shortfall with my own funds. |

Kedro: Admission is now regulated with JAMB CAPS, even if your father owns the school, if you don't meet the cutoff for your department and the school sends your name to Jamb caps, it will be rejected. The only thing your aunt can do is to influence the cutoff to accommodate your score, which is very unlikely depending on general performance. In a school like Uniben that does PUTME, cut-off for PUTME qualification is 250 and the probability of somebody that got 250 entering is low unless there is a general poor performance in JAMB otherwise it means the person has to have a minimum of 90/100 in the PUTME. |

emmasoft: Yes, it was supposed to be given but VGIF did not really do well and the condition for the extra as stated on the fund's fact sheet is the performance of the fund. It's the SDF benchmarked rate that is sacrosanct

Herbarium: To be honest, you did not meet the post utme cut off mark. 15% out of possible 30% is the minimum requirement before you can be considered for admission irrespective of your O'level and UTME scores. You scored 13% which is below 15%. This is equivalent to having scored 43% out of 100% which is below 50%. Good point. In Uniben, if you did not score 50% in the PUTME, no addmission for you even you had 9A1s and 400/400 in JAMB. If the OP really scored 13/16 in A/Level and such O/Level result, then scoring 15/30 in the PUTME should not be a problem. So the OP should tell us what led to such a low score of 13/30 in the PUTME. |

viyon02: Not at all, you need some key subjects like further mathematics and Technical drawing. And d7 in English not too good. clockwisereport: @bolded Stop passing wrong information. He does not need further maths neither does he need technical writing.
Only English spoiled the result What @viyon02 said is not really wrong if it is Unilag. Unilag requires Further Maths in all courses in Faculty of Engineering. Unilag uses JAMB, O/Level and PUTME. The five subjects combination for O/Level calculation are: English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Further Maths. O/Level calculation forms 20% of the aggregate. |
Properties › Re: Solar Is An Investment by NL1960: 3:05pm On Feb 03, 2022 |
SolarEdge: Do not get a solar or inverter system until you read and digest this information.
Nigerians are always in haste in making decisions. We want something very urgent without considering vital factors surrounding what we need.
I will try to be as brief as possible. Having been in this field for over 5 years, I've met people of different mindsets.
Due to the poor electricity in Nigeria, many have opted for various alternatives to have access to electricity.
Some have gotten generators, which is a popular option as it looks cheap to them at the start point.
But looking carefully into the generator, you will understand that you're only wasting money in the long run. In my estate here in Lagos, I have seen a lot of people that put on their generators round the clock. They put them on overnight, from 7pm till 7am. And I wonder what the show of wealth is in doing that. Aside from the cost of running a generator for that long, with the current insecurity in the country, this attitude can endanger an individual when sound is emitting from your compound at odd hours at night.
Many have frowned at the technology of solar as it's been too expensive, fake products that lead to its packing up in no time, and many more reasons. The truth remains that solar power is expensive.
I have said this again and again: solar is an investment, and if you want to get the technology, you need to plan and get it right the first time. But I came across a lot of people who, when you try to educate them, will feel you want to rip them off their money.
A woman came to me to get a solar freezer some time last year. I told her the freezer and accessories, which include batteries, solar panels, solar charge controller, and cabling, would cost her 585K. She began to lament. After some long conversation, she then opened up to me, saying that she's pained that a young man had just deceived her to spend over 350K to power her deep freezer, which did not work. The system can't even power the freezer for 30 minutes.
I asked her what the components of the system were and she said a 200ah battery, two solar panels, and a 1000w inverter. At this point, I was dumbfounded. If it's that cheap, everyone in Nigeria will own a solar power system. Then I told her, to power your deep freezer, madam, you need a rugged Indian inverter at least a 2.5 kVA with 4 batteries and a minimum of 8 to 10 giant solar panels. If the freezer is to be powered along with other appliances, then you'll need a minimum of a 3.5 kVA system, which may cost an average of 1.45 million naira. You see, the young man just needed her money at that instance, not minding if she was going to get value from his service.
I always tell people, after presenting a quotation to them, that you may get it cheaper elsewhere.
To be honest, solar is the way forward, despite its initial cost. Its benefits outweigh the cost.
There are too many solar materials on the market these days, which makes it difficult for some engineers to even know which material is fake or genuine.
There are systems you will install that can serve you for up to 7 to 10 years, and there are systems you'll install that won't exceed 6 months. How pathetic that can be!
The pain of spending a huge amount of money with the hope of getting maximum comfort and immense value for your money can be frustrating if you don't get it right.
We are here to guide you from your energy auditing stage to the commissioning of the project.
You will get a system with a 3 year documented warranty, free system maintenance in the first 18 months, a 7-year guarantee on the battery, a 25-year guarantee on solar panels, and a 10 year guarantee on the inverter, an opportunity to make payment after delivering and installing the system, and a lot more.
We know the financial implications involved. That's why our team of professional engineers are willing to deliver a state-of-the-art service that promises to exceed your expectations.
You can not get it wrong with us.
We sell inverters, batteries, solar panels, solar charge controllers, solar flood lights and street lights, solar pumping machines, solar freezers and refrigerators, solar water heaters, solar cookers, and many other solar accessories. I have a fairly stable power supply and a 2.5kva generator which i hardly use when there is power. What i will need solar for is to power on ceiling fans when iam sleeping in the night if there is no power as i do not like sleeping with generator on. So what kva will you recommend in such an instance and what is the financial outlay for such?. |

ositadima1: Inflation and devaluation has made this table outdated. I don't think you can be comfortable with 25M nor even rich.
Assuming I have 25M as capital to pursue any biz of my choice.
- To return half of dat annually, I would be working tirelessly meaning no comfort at d end of d day.
- To return 20 to 30% same as above, maybe a little less work, but still no comfort.
- To return 13% passively, it will amount to 270k per month. U won't be living comfortably on that either.
My pessimistic views... The 270k in the bold depends on where you are living. |
