Education / Side Hustle Formula To Build Wealth by Okfiscal(m): 6:35pm On Jun 03, 2019
May be you are working below your standards, your salary is not enough to tackle your expenditures? Or you are looking for something else to join with your 9am-5pm job to boost your earnings? Or you self-service to be a self made boss.

Then you have to read this article.
What is side hustle?
A side hustle is a way to make some extra cash that gives you the flexibility to pursue what you ‘re most interested in outside the 9-5 job.
Side hustle gives you the freedom to buy things you want and lower any financial worries.sincerely speaking, the said 9-5 jobs something don’t always pay the bill especially if you ‘re just starting.
For instance when you remove the cost of rent, food, transportation, children up keep you might realize that removing the cost of these bills you ‘re barely have anything leftover to save.
The annoying part of the said 9-5 jobs is that your financial growth is always capped by your boss who decides your salary.
Therefore, if you want to decide your salary yourself the best way is to start side hustle and build your self employed income while you still have the safety and security of your 9am-5pm job.
In addition, side hustle also improves your skills and it creates career changing opportunities you wouldn’t have stumbled upon at your full time job.
For example, hilary vanderschaaf was a Licensed Occupational Therapist, but decided to start a side hustle for making clothes, today her clothing line company is well recognized – hill hustle clothing line. Here was her reason for starting hill hustle clothing line

I realized I needed a side hustle and passive income as I was paying off my daunting student loans. I came up with the idea over a year ago, began getting my shirts made and wearing them myself. I hired a web designer to create my site and bring my vision to life. Since I have a decent following on IG, I have used that to promote and grow my brand.

Quickly before we discuss why you need side hustle, i will like to share step involved to develop successful side hustle
1.Make a list of what you are interested in
You need to love what you are doing as a side hustle for it to be successful for you. This job will be done on your own time, and outside office hours if you have a day job, so it will take a lot of energy and motivation to make it stick. Only something that you are passionate about will drive you this much. Brainstorm side hustle ideas around your interests, hobbies, and skills to discover the best business to start.
After all, business success happens only when the right skills meet the right interest areas.

2. Decide early if you will invest money
Side hustles shouldn’t cost too much money but they may require some investment upfront for things like hosting, branding, and tools. You may decide that you want to do advertising to find your first customers. Whatever your growth and expansion plan is for your side hustle you need to be aware of your spend before it happens so plan your spending accordingly and measure your success to know whether you should continue.

3. Make sure there are no conflicts of interest
If you have a day job or have connections that could lead to a conflict of interest with your side hustle then it is not a good idea to continue with it.
Obviously, you shouldn’t work on your side hustle during company time, nor should you use company resources to advance your own pursuits. Not only is it unethical, but it’s likely a violation of the employment agreements you signed when you began your job.
Sometimes the best advice is to try something else or to shelf your idea for another time so that you don’t end up doing something you regret.

4. Schedule time for your side hustle
A side hustle takes time out of your day, daily, so ensure everything is going right. It is not possible to set up your website, schedule your content, and forget about everything until next month.
Set aside time in your calendar regularly for your side hustle and outline actionable goals for this time so you know what you are doing is valuable. If you have a day job, aim to give three to four evenings a week and perhaps some hours at the weekend to your side hustle, depending on what it is.

5. Don’t forget about your day job
If you are setting up a side hustle while also having a day job, remember to put 100% of your energy into your day job when you are there. A side hustle will give you some money but you rely on a cheque from your day job which you need to pay the bills with. Don’t try to juggle your day job and side hustle within your 9-5 hours as this is a recipe for disaster.

Why you need to start side hustling now;

Statistically, a large number of world population (myself included) have launched side hustles related to freelancing, blogging consulting and other online-based businesses such affiliate marketing, ecommerce, Email marketing and digital marketing while having regular employment. In fact, according to a 2016 study by LinkedIn ProFinder, more than 331,941 professionals in the U.S. alone are already freelancing on the side of their day jobs .

Regardless of where you are at in life, in debt or not in debt, married or single, twenty years old or fifty years old, there is something that you can gain from starting a side hustle;

1.Diversify Your Income
There is nothing like the security of having more than one income stream. Even if you absolutely love your full-time job, situations can change. Perhaps demand drops or a new executive decides to cut 10% of the workforce. No job is safe.
Even if your job is extremely secure, you may find yourself going to work one day and thinking “I don’t want to do this anymore.” If you started a side hustle years prior to this you are likely much better positioned to look for other employment or even take the necessary steps to turn your side hustle into a full-time job.
One key takeaway to remember is that the earlier you start a side hustle, the better. Some side hustles – like blogging – can take months of work before you start making money, and if you re-invest your income back into the blog it could be several years before you have built the site up to the point where it can replace your full time job.
2.Test a Business Idea Without Quitting Your Full-Time Job
One of the greatest things about the world we live in today is that it’s easier than ever before to test out a business idea while working a full-time job. No need to quit your 9-5 and go all in; instead you can give a go at it during nights and weekends (and for the early birds out there – mornings as well!).
If you ask me what my long-term goal is I can tell you without hesitation that it’s to run a business or multiple businesses full-time. Working in corporate isn’t for everyone, and while I do a good job I know I will be much happier running a full-time job.
With that goal in mind, I love that I can test business ideas without sacrificing my stable full-time income. If any given idea or business venture flops I am out only time and, in certain situations, some money.

3. Break into a New Career Field
If your goal is to switch to a new career field, think about what sort of side hustle helps you gain experience and a track record, and then pursue that side hustle. If you want to code for a living but currently work in marketing, start coding in your spare time. Gain clients and those who will vouch for your skills.
You can start with blogging because These skills are in high demand and almost every company is staffing up in this space. The problem is that traditional corporate marketers likely have not developed the deep hands-on experience that bloggers have.
Starting a blog could set you up for a job in the new digital landscape that you otherwise wouldn’t have even been considered for.
Blogging isn’t the only side hustle that can help you break into a new career field. Let’s say you enjoy social media management. By starting a side hustle focused on this you could gain the skills needed for a job in this space or you could build up a business that allows you to leave your 9-5.
4. Pay Off Debt Faster
Paying off debt faster is one of the main motivations many people starting a side hustle. It provides plenty of motivation to stick with a side hustle, too, as staying with your side hustle is half the battle.
The initial goal many people worked towards with side hustles was to make enough make that would offset their monthly loan payments and open up cash flow for other goals like establishing an emergency fund and saving for a down payment on a house.
5. Reach Other Money Goals Faster
Don’t have debt or not looking to pay it down faster? Side hustles can still be a huge benefit to your finances. In fact, if your side hustle money isn’t going towards debt you are in a great position to reach other money goal fasters.
For instance you want to go on an expensive holiday, you want to own a house or you want to buy a new car. Whatever your goals are, side hustles can help you accomplish them faster.
6. It Can Change the Trajectory of Your Life
I could fill an entire book with examples of people who started a side hustle that transformed their lives. From the hairstylist single mom who now makes over $100k as a social media manager to the blogger who was able to escape the corporate life they despised, side hustles can change the entire trajectory of your life.

7. Side hustle open up a whole new path to
making your dreams a reality

For me, I truly believe I should be running a business full-time. Debt makes that dream unattainable. Side hustles help me test business ideas with no risk, though, while also helping me pay off debt faster. I’m able to bridge the gap and have a clear path to my goal, all because of side hustles.
8. Meet New People and Build Your Network
One thing that is virtually guaranteed with a side hustle is that you will meet new people. Most, if not all, of these people you would have never crossed paths with if it wasn’t for your side hustle.
I took a few minutes to think of some of the incredible individuals I’ve been lucky enough to come into contact with because of my side hustles, and it’s really overwhelming to think about. The wide diversity of opinions, geographical locations, ages, professions, and interests is truly astonishing.
You won’t become best friends with everyone you meet through your side hustle. With that being said, you very well could meet future business partners or even employers through your side hustle. Don’t discount this potential upside of having a side hustle.
9.It unleash your inner potential and move you out of your comfort zone
Prior to starting my blog I hated public speaking. And I mean to the point where I didn’t even want to talk on the phone because of my accent and vocabulary. but my side hustle has pushed me outside my comfort zone and it’s made me a better and more confident individual because of it.
Now speak at seminars, workshop, radio shows. This is something that is nearly unthinkable to me years ago. but my side hustle has led me down that path and I’m grateful for it.

10. It re brand your skills Get you paid for it
In the past i used to write articles, report and essay for my colleagues while still in school then. I by no means am a seasoned veteran. That doesn’t mean I don’t have skills that are advanced enough to copy write to companies looking for help.
Though, Through starting blogging as a side hustle I was able to further develop my copy writing skills. Not only was I learning on how to write better content, I was getting paid for it. What more could you ask for?

Business / How To Invest In Nigeria Bonds by Okfiscal(m): 8:03am On Jun 01, 2019
Do you know you can improve your monthly savings and also make good future financial status by investing in nigeria bonds system FGN Bonds.
Have you ever think about this- Ever since the capital market crumbled, few Nigerians with reliable information on investment have continued to rake in profit from this same market and are not ready to stop anytime soon. “Who no want make money?”
What differentiates you from these few individuals is information, no wonder they say “information is power” and you can’t beat that.
With the launch of the Federal Government Savings Bond earlier, I thought I should shed some light on the benefits of this investment vehicle.
So, I will be sharing with you how to save N5,000 monthly.

what makes this Savings Bond so great? Well, for one, it’s a guaranteed bond meaning that the Government guarantees to repay you in full at the agreed date.
I’ll be weighing their merits and demerits, benchmarking them against indices like inflation and also comparing them relative to each other so at the end of this series of posts, you’ll understand the ideal savings plan based on your personal circumstances.
If you are reading this on a smartphone right now with data you bought by yourself, then you have no excuse not to be able to save at least N5,000 every month. Also, if you’ve been finding it difficult to save regularly, well, this one’s for you.
without much i do let dive in

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA BONDS – FGN BONDS
let’s start with the FGN Savings Bond. Retail Savings Bonds have been around for close to 100 years in countries like the United States for example but Nigeria is just catching on. That’s really because, up till now, our government hasn’t really needed to borrow as much as they have been doing recently.
what is bond? A bond is simply a type of loan taken out by companies. Investors lend a company money when they buy its bonds. In exchange, the company pays an interest “coupon” (the annual interest rate paid on a bond, expressed as a percentage of face value) at predetermined intervals (usually annually or semiannually) and returns the principal on the maturity date, ending the loan.
Unlike stocks, bonds can vary significantly based on the terms of the bond’s indenture, a legal document outlining the characteristics of the bond. Because each bond issue is different, it is important to understand the precise terms before investing. In particular, there are six important features to look for when considering a bond.
now let discuss bonds in Nigeria system.
FGN Bonds are debt securities (liabilities) of the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) issued by the Debt Management Office (DMO) for and on behalf of the Federal Government. The FGN has an obligation to pay the bondholder the principal and agreed interest as and when due. When you buy FGN Bonds, you are lending to the FGN for a specified period of time. The FGN Bonds are considered as the safest of all investments in domestic debt market because it is backed by the ‘full faith and credit’ of the Federal Government, and as such it is classified as a risk free debt instrument. They have no default risk, meaning that it is absolutely certain your interest and principal will be paid as and when due. The interest income earned from the securities are tax exempt.


Deal Agreement
Therefore, the Federal Government is giving every Nigeria an opportunity to lend a minimum of N5,000 and this will be paid back after 2 or 3 years depending on the issuance. Remember I said that there will be a coupon paid quarterly, well this is presently set at 13.01%.
So what makes this Savings Bond so great? Well, for one, it’s a guaranteed bond meaning that the Government guarantees to repay you in full at the agreed date. Your next question might be, “Should I buy the Savings Bond?” Well, there are a lot of reasons why you should. The Federal Government guarantee means that it is as risk free as an investment gets and the government plans to issue these bonds on a monthly basis so you can continue to buy the bond month on month with the knowledge that your money is safe. Furthermore, you are unlikely to find any legitimate fixed income security that can pay anything close to 13% for a N5,000 savings and still pay a quarterly coupon.
Thirdly, and this is very unique. The bond is trade-able on the stock exchange which means that if you want your money back before the maturity of the bond, you can simply sell it. You will likely have to trade the bond for less than its face value but at least the window is there for you if you need it.
The downside of this vehicle for savings however is that if you have a savings target of say N50,000, and you save N5,000 monthly, you won’t get your N50,000 cash back at once. Remember that each bond has a maturity date 2 or 3 years in the future so if you save N5,000 every month for 10 months, only the bond purchased in the first month would have matured at the end of 10 months. You will have to wait till the maturity date of the last bond before you can get all your N50,000 back unless of course you sell on the stock market.
Lastly, even though the coupon is guaranteed, the rate is still lower than the current inflation rate which is 17.78% today. So assuming that you buy the bond today and the inflation rate remains unchanged until maturity in 2 or 3 years from now, your investment will be worth 4.7% less.
So to summarize, as a regular savings vehicle, the FGN bond offers a guarantee, an unbeatable interest rate for the amount you are investing, paid quarterly but the unbeatable interest rate doesn’t beat inflation.

Depending on the skill that interests you, majority will prefer writing job, however you will need to be very good in writing to fit in to this category. You could be contacted to write for blogs being that most webmasters are always too busy to write their blog contents.
You will get hired as well be paid, but you will need to prove that you’re good and suitable for it. I will advise you should learn basic on page search engine optimisation strategies (SEO). This will give you an edge over competitors. Your ability to write search engine optimised contents is a huge plus.
Ghost writing is not far from blog contents, just that it might not be published on a blog, it could be for magazines and journals, not excluding blogs. The only difference is that your contract with the contractor ends the moment you deliver the job. It will be published without credit of any kind given to you or being mentioned as the writer.
If you have flare for technology and graphics, web and graphic design could be your ice point, people, big brands and organisations will contact you for a gig, your ability to show a social prove will land you jobs in freelancing.

misconceptions about starting a blog is that you need to be a great writer to be successful. Nothing could be further from the truth. People read blog sites to get a personal perspective on things, so most bloggers write in a very informal and conversational style.
In addition, you don’t need to be an expert on your topic in order to have a successful blog. For example, readers of a cooking blog don’t want to read a textbook from a food scientist, they want to hear the experiences of someone who has actually cooked some real meals, mistakes and all.
To be successful as a blogger there is really just one requirement: a passion for your topic.
At its heart, blogging is about sharing your knowledge with the world. Choosing a topic that you are passionate about makes the process of starting a successful blog so much easier. Writing about more than one topic is totally fine too. As long as you are writing about things that you are genuinely interested in, your passion will shine through and keep your readers interested.

Investment / Index Funds Vs Mutual Funds by Okfiscal(m): 1:49am On May 25, 2019
When you look at recent history, actively managed funds have performed poorly compared to index funds. According to Morningstar, two-thirds of large-cap growth stock mutual funds underperformed the index, and nearly three-quarters of large-cap blended funds failed to match their benchmark. The same was true in 2014, when 86% of active large-cap fund managers fell short of their benchmarks.
In this article we look at (almost) if not everything about an index fund and mutual funds.

Then we will move further to this discuss the differences between index funds and mutual funds.
So don’t leave this page in a hurry!!!
Now, let’s start the discussion
What is an index funds?
An index fund is a mutual fund or ETF whose portfolio is designed to replicate a certain market index.such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500).
Index funds are generally considered ideal core portfolio holdings for retirement accounts, such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and 401(k) accounts. Legendary investor Warren Buffett has recommended index funds as a haven for savings for the sunset years of life. Rather than picking out individual stocks for investment, he has said, it makes more sense for the average investor to buy all of the S&P 500 companies at the low cost an index fund offers.
An index mutual fund is said to provide broad market exposure, low operating expenses and low portfolio turnover. These funds follow their benchmark index no matter the state of the markets.
How an index funds works
An index fund is a portfolio of stocks or bonds designed to mimic the composition and performance of a financial market index.The idea is that by mimicking the profile of the index—the stock market as a whole, or a broad segment of it—the fund will match its performance as well.
There is an index, and an index fund, for nearly every financial market in existence. In the U.S, the most popular index funds track the S&P 500. But several other indexes are widely used as well, including:
the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) consisting of 30 large-cap companies
the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index that is the largest U.S. equities index
the MSCI EAFE consisting of foreign stocks from Europe, Australasia, and the Far East
the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index following the total bond market.
For example, the popular Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is an index that consists of 30 large U.S. stocks, weighted by share price. So an index fund that tracks the DJIA would be expected to own all 30 stocks in approximately the same proportions that they make up in the index.
Types of index funds
there are different tyes of stock index funds which includes;

1.Broad market index funds: These invest in an index designed to track the performance of the entire market, or a subset of the market such as large-cap stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Russell 2000 indices, are examples.
2.Global/International index funds:These are designed to provide exposure to stocks all over the world. Global indices include stocks from all over the world, while international indices exclude U.S.-based companies.
Sector-specific index funds : These are designed to track a sector’s performance. For example, the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEMKT: XLF) is designed to mirror the performance of the banking, insurance, and real-estate industries.
Why invest in index funds?
Index funds have become quite popular, and for good reason. First, because index funds don’t require much effort from managers, they typically have lower fees than actively managed funds. It’s not uncommon to find index funds with expense ratios in the 0.05%-0.07% range, while actively managed funds are generally in the 1%-2% ballpark.
Additionally, index funds allow investors to harness the long-term potential of the stock market without the guesswork and research involved with choosing individual stocks. In fact, there are many economists who believe in the efficient market hypothesis — which says that it’s not possible to beat the market consistently, so the best way to invest is to simply buy all stocks. An index fund allows investors to do that.

Advantages of index funds:

Lower Costs

One primary advantage that index funds possess over their actively managed counterparts is the lower management expense ratio. A fund’s expense ratio—also known as the management expense ratio—includes all of the operating expenses such as the payment to advisors and managers, transaction fees, taxes, and accounting fees.

Since the index fund managers are simply replicating the performance of a benchmark index, they do not need the services of research analysts and others that assist in the stock-selection process. Managers of index funds trade holdings less often incurring fewer transaction fees and commissions. In contrast, actively managed funds have bigger staffs and conduct more transactions, driving up the cost of doing business.

The extra costs of fund management are reflected in the fund’s expense ratio and get passed on to shareholders. As a result, cheap index funds often cost less than a percent—0.2%-0.5% is typical—compared to the much higher fees actively managed funds command—typically 1% to 2.5%.

Other pros are;

• Ultimate in diversification

• Low expense ratios

• Strong longterm returns

• Ideal for passive, buy-and-hold investors.

Disadvantages of index funds

• Vulnerable to market swings, crashes

• Lack of flexibility

• Limited gains

Statistical example of an index fund in real world
Index funds have been around since the 1970s. The popularity of passive investing, the appeal of low fees, and a long-running bull market have combined to send them soaring in the 2010s. For 2018, according to Morningstar Research, investors poured more than US$458 billion into index funds across all asset classes. For the same period, actively managed funds experienced $301 billion in outflows.
The one fund that started it all, founded by Vanguard chairman John Bogle in 1976, remains one of the best for its overall long-term performance and low cost. The Vanguard 500 Index Fund has tracked the S&P 500 faithfully, in composition and performance. It posts a one-year return of 9.46%, vs. the index’s 9.5%, as of March 2019, for example. For its Admiral Shares, the expense ratio is 0.04%, and its minimum investment is $3,000.

PART 2
What is a mutual funds?
A Mutual Funds is an investment vehicle made up of a pool of funds collected from numerous investors for the purpose of investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments and similar assets. Mutual Funds are operated by professional fund managers, who invest the fund’s capital and attempt to produce capital gains and income for the investors.
Mutual funds give small or individual investors access to professionally managed portfolios of equities, bonds and other securities. Each shareholder, therefore, participates proportionally in the gains or losses of the fund. Mutual funds invest in a vast number of securities, and performance is usually tracked as the change in the total market cap of the fund—derived by the aggregating performance of the underlying investments.

PART 2
What is a mutual funds?
A Mutual Funds is an investment vehicle made up of a pool of funds collected from numerous investors for the purpose of investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments and similar assets. Mutual Funds are operated by professional fund managers, who invest the fund’s capital and attempt to produce capital gains and income for the investors.
Mutual funds give small or individual investors access to professionally managed portfolios of equities, bonds and other securities. Each shareholder, therefore, participates proportionally in the gains or losses of the fund. Mutual funds invest in a vast number of securities, and performance is usually tracked as the change in the total market cap of the fund—derived by the aggregating performance of the underlying investments.
How a mutual fund works
A mutual fund is both an investment and an actual company. This dual nature may seem strange, but it is no different from how a share of AAPL is a representation of Apple, Inc. When an investor buys Apple stock, he is buying part ownership of the company and its assets. Similarly, a mutual fund investor is buying part ownership of the mutual fund company and its assets. The difference is that Apple is in the business of making smartphones and tablets, while a mutual fund company is in the business of making investments.
If a mutual fund is a virtual company, its CEO is the fund manager , sometimes called its
investment adviser . The fund manager is hired by a board of directors and is legally obligated to work in the best interest of mutual fund shareholders. Most fund managers are also owners of the fund.
There are very few other employees in a mutual fund company. The investment adviser or fund manager may employ some analysts to help pick investments or perform market research. A fund accountant is kept on staff to calculate the fund’s NAV, the daily value of the portfolio that determines if share prices go up or down. Mutual funds need to have a
compliance officer or two, and probably an attorney, to keep up with government regulations.
Most mutual funds are part of a much larger investment company; the biggest have hundreds of separate mutual funds. Some of these fund companies are names familiar to the general public, such as Fidelity Investments, the Vanguard Group, T. Rowe Price, and Oppenheimer Funds.

Types of mutual funds:
Mutual funds are divided into various categories which is targeted to the kind of securities portfolio and return someone is looking for.These includes:
Equity Funds
The largest category is that of equity or stock funds. As the name implies, this sort of fund invests principally in stocks. Within this group is various sub-categories. Some equity funds are named for the size of the companies they invest in small-, mid- or large-cap. Others are named by their investment approach: aggressive growth, income-oriented, value, and others. Equity funds are also categorized by whether they invest in domestic (U.S.) stocks or foreign equities.
Fixed-Income Funds
Another big group is the fixed income category. A fixed income mutual fund focuses on investments that pay a set rate of return, such as government bonds, corporate bonds, or other debt instruments. The idea is that the fund portfolio generates interest income, which then passes on to shareholders.
Other types of mutual funds are:
• Balanced funds
• Money Market funds
• Sector funds
• Target-date funds
• Alternative funds
• Smart-beta funds
Advantages of mutual funds
There are a variety of reasons that mutual funds have been the retail investor’s vehicle of choice for decades. The overwhelming majority of money in employer-sponsored retirement plans goes into mutual funds.
Diversification – Mutual Funds spread their holdings across various investment vehicles, reducing the effect any single security or class of securities has on the overall portfolio. Because mutual funds contain hundreds or thousands of securities, investors are less affected if one security underperforms.
Professional Management – Mutual Fund accounts are managed by qualified professionals. These professionals invest only after careful analysis of the performance and prospects of different securities. It is a continuous process that takes time and expertise which will add value to your investment.
Regulations – Mutual Funds are required to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. They are obliged to follow strict regulations designed to protect investors.
Affordability – As a small investor, you may find that it is not possible to buy shares of larger corporations. With Mutual Funds
small investors can get started because of the minimal investment requirements.
Liquidity – With open-end funds, you can re​deem all or part of your investment any time you wish and receive the current value of the shares. Moreover, the process is standardized, making it swift and efficient.
Transparency – As a unit holder, you are provided with regular updates, for example daily NAVs, bid and offer prices as well as information on the fund’s holdings and the fund manager’s strategy.
Disadvantages of mutual funds
Just like words and opposite- good and bad. Aside factors like Liquidity, diversification, and professional management, all these factors make mutual funds attractive options for a younger, novice, and other individual investors who don’t want to actively manage their money. However, no asset is perfect, and mutual funds have drawbacks too which are:
Fluctuating Returns
Like many other investments without a guaranteed return, there is always the possibility that the value of your mutual fund will
depreciate . Equity mutual funds experience price fluctuations, along with the stocks that make up the fund. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) does not back up mutual fund investments, and there is no guarantee of performance with any fund. Of course, almost every investment carries risk. It is especially important for investors in money market funds to know that, unlike their bank counterparts, these will not be insured by the FDIC.
Heavy Cash Supplies
Mutual funds pool money from thousands of investors, so every day people are putting money into the fund as well as withdrawing it. To maintain the capacity to accommodate withdrawals funds typically have to keep a large portion of their portfolios in cash. Having ample cash is excellent for liquidity, but money is sitting around as cash and not working for you and thus is not very advantageous.
High Costs
Mutual funds provide investors with professional management, but it comes at a cost—those expense ratios mentioned earlier. These fees reduce the fund’s overall payout, and they’re assessed to mutual fund investors regardless of the performance of the fund. As you can imagine, in years when the fund doesn’t make money, these fees only magnify losses.
Diworsification
Diworsification—a play on words—is an investment or portfolio strategy. Many mutual fund investors tend to overcomplicate matters. That is, they acquire too many funds that are highly related and, as a result, don’t get the risk-reducing benefits of diversification. These investors may have made their portfolio more exposed; a syndrome called diworsification. At the other extreme, just because you own mutual funds doesn’t mean you are automatically diversified. For example, a fund that invests only in a particular industry sector or region is still relatively risky.
Other disadvantages of mutual funds are:
• Lack of transparency
• Evaluating funds.

Statistical examples of mutual funds on real word;

One of the most famous mutual funds in the investment universe is Fidelity Investments’ Magellan Fund (FMAGX). Established in 1963 the fund had an investment objective of capital appreciation via investment in common stocks. Fidelity founder Edward Johnson originally managed it. The fund’s glory days were between 1977 and 1990 when Peter Lynch served as its portfolio manager. Under Lynch’s tenure, Magellan regularly posted 29% annual returns, almost double that of the S&P 500. Both the fund and Lynch became household words.
Even after Lynch left, Fidelity’s performance continued strong, and assets under management (AUM) grew to nearly $110 billion in 2000, making it the largest fund in the world . By 1997, the fund had become so large that Fidelity closed it to new investors, and would not reopen it until 2008.
As of April 2019, Fidelity Magellan has over US$16 billion in assets and is managed by Jeffrey Feingold since 2011. The fund’s performance has pretty much tracked or slightly surpassed that of the S&P 500.

The step to build emergency fund are not complex. Here some step to been taken in building emergency fund savings:
1. Understand your income vs your expenses.
Take your time to analyze how much you make monthly and how much spend on monthly basis. Having understanding of these will help determine how much really need emergency fund and the amount you can put on its monthly.
This amount should be calculated keeping an eventual goal for savings that will contribute to your fund. As you move up (or down) through your career, you can revise this figure. Once the fund is built up to the level you need, invest extra savings for the long term or for other goals, such as buying a new apartment.

Ideally, an emergency fund should have an accumulated sum of at least four to six months of a person’s monthly income to make fund easily accessible. Set a target for yourself to achieve this goal.
Decide how long it will take you to get to your target based on how you save monthly.
Also, come up with a plan to commence your saving process. Having a plan and setting goals is a perfect combination to have a functioning emergency fund.
For example, A married couple who earns $108,000 annually after taxes should set aside a readily accessible minimum of $27,000 (three months) to $54,000 (six months) to address unexpected financial surprises. The funds should be highly
liquid, remaining in savings accounts. These vehicles allow quick access to cash for satisfying household expenses during an emergency situation
3. Create account where you can easily access your fund:
A savings account is the best place to put an emergency fund. So you won’t have any problem when you need the money.
You need to also make saving into an emergency savings account automatic. Plan regular payments every month from your salary account to your emergency fund, using your bank’s automatic transfer payment plans. It makes it easier to save for emergency when you actually forget to do so at the end of every month.
These are simple ways you should use to start building an emergency fund to resolve financial surprises at anytime anywhere.
Key note;
An emergency fund is a financial security for future mishaps and/or unexpected expenses.
Financial planners recommend that emergency funds should typically have 3 to 6 months’ worth of income in very liquid form so that it is instantly accessible.
Use tax refunds and other windfalls to build up your fund.
In conclusion, i believe we all have a plan to financial freedom, and i also believe that after reading this article your have added emergency fund savings plan to your already made plans, now the bigger task is to follow through with all your plans and strike balance between them because it is the hardest part of achieving financial goals.
