My advice to people who to want to move money to shop around for better rate is: Make that move as soon as possible especially if you are intending to move large funds running into millions. Do so before the new Tax policy officially begins in January because when it begins, you won't have the flexibility of moving large sum without the authority not noticing your transactions especially the FIRS will be involved keeping a close look at massive fund movement. This is why banks are now mandating customers to add remark/description to every transaction initiated online. Meanwhile, if you want to know why such differences in daily rates by those MMF fund managers. Watch I explained it and don't forget to subscribe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZu5xBWNdeI |

Beeron:Kindly stop spamming this group with your website. This place will become messy if everyone starts promoting one product or the other. It will also reduce the quality of responses here since posts will be made with an angle in mind. |

bassdow:I have run the test and the monthly compounding is not enough to offset the yield rate differentials. Annual effective yield of 16.1% compounded monthly is 17.3% For 17.4%(cowrywise) compounded quaterly, its 18.5% For 19.4%(trustbanc) its 20.8% However, i'll advise people to wait till January before switching. This is because the new tax laws will impact yields. Mmfs invest in different assets at different mix. A manager who does a lot of t-bills will likely offer lower yields as t-bills rates are dropping. Those who do more of FD, placements etc will be able to offer higher rates. However, from next year, mmf that invest in government bonds only will have tax free returns to their investors. Those whose operations are heavy in non-government bonds will see returns from those investments now taxed, which will reduce how much they are able to pay investors. Imagine a mmf that does only 20% government bonds. That means 80% of interest earned will suffer tax hence reduce interest distribution. So lets see how much the new tax laws will swing the pendulum. |

Iamblessed88:Didn't see it that way but good thing you have brought my attention to it. I thought I was providing meaningful contribution in write up and backing it up with video explanations via YouTube. Spamming is when you concentrate all effort towards promoting a links with no added value or if link is unrelated to said discussion or conversation. I just tire at this point. |
| Re: Mutual Funds by Oyibopepe2000: 5:44pm On Dec 21, 2025 |
Hmm I actually benefited from watching the YouTube video you linked cuz I was beginning to suspect that the managers offering high rates may be shady and likely won't sustain it and crash. But after I watched your video I was more enlightened. So I consider it still useful here. But I may be wrong though Beeron: |
| Re: Mutual Funds by Beeron: 7:40pm On Dec 21, 2025 |
Oyibopepe2000:You are not wrong sir. In as much as the information is online but they confuse people with the banking terminologies so you won't really figure out what's really happening. Imagine talking to an average joe who wants to just invest their money in MMF and make profit and you telling the person (FPI, FDI, MPR, MPC etc) The person will be confused but these things matters to enable investors make informed decisions. I will continue to make videos to break down complex investments terminologies and other investments options so we will all understand what we are investing our money into. It isn't easy getting that capital to invest, so it shouldn't be a bad idea if I make videos and share links here on how to safe guard your investment. |

Hi guys. Can your mutual fund capital be insured by an insurance company? Assuming its money market mutual fund which offers capital preservation but just as a double layer of protection |
| Re: Mutual Funds by emmasoft(m): 10:27pm On Dec 21, 2025 |
Iamblessed88:It's not necessary based on the underlying asset. There is a reason MMF is qualified as a low-risk investment. Don't try to ascribe any risk beyond its status to it. Having insurance on MMF is like having insurance on Tbills. We should not use a sledgehammer to kill mosquitoes. Your money in MMF is not cash, and the full weight of the Federal government backs the major underlying asset. Even if your suggestion is applied, it will only reduce the return further without added value. |

Key Investment Principles for Smarter Financial Decisions As we transition into 2026, it is important to reflect on the lessons from 2025. The year presented a mix of gains, missed opportunities, and learning moments. Many individuals began their investment journey, others consolidated existing portfolios, while some explored new asset classes. The lessons from 2025 remind us that successful investing is not about luck or speculation, but about structure, knowledge, and consistency. As we enter 2026, in about 10 days, investors are encouraged to move with clarity, discipline, and informed judgment. This handout highlights core investment principles to guide decision-making in the year ahead. 1. Capital Preservation Comes First The primary objective of investing is to protect your capital. High returns are attractive, but they should never outweigh the importance of safety. Always understand the downside risk before committing funds. Protect first, grow second. 2. Invest Only in What You Understand You do not need to invest in everything. Before investing, ensure you understand: • How the investment works • How returns are generated • The risks involved • How and when you can exit Knowledge reduces costly mistakes. 3. Start with What You Have You don’t need millions to begin investing. Start with your current capital and grow gradually. • Small, consistent investments compound over time • Mutual funds can help build capital toward larger goals like bonds or real estate • Waiting too long can expose your money to inflation risk Action beats delay. 4. Beware of Ponzi Schemes Ponzi schemes exist in every market cycle. Be cautious of: • Guaranteed or unusually high returns • Pressure to act quickly • Lack of transparency or regulation If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. 5. Make Decisions Based on Facts, Not Rumors Avoid making investment decisions based on hearsay or social pressure. Proper due diligence should always come before investment. At times, informed investors may act alone—confidence should come from research, not popularity. 6. Diversify to Manage Risk Risk is better managed when investments are spread across asset classes such as: • Mutual funds • Treasury Bills • Federal Government Bonds • Stocks • Real estate Diversification reduces overexposure to any single investment. 7. Be Tax-Aware With evolving tax laws, investors should consider tax-efficient instruments. Where direct bond investment is not possible, instruments with FGN Bonds as underlying assets can offer relative stability and tax advantages. Always consider after-tax returns, not just headline yields. 8. Remember the Golden Rule of Investing Warren Buffett’s timeless principle: Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget Rule No. 1. Final Note Successful investing in 2026 will reward discipline, education, diversification, and patience. Focus on long-term wealth creation rather than short-term speculation. Wishing you a disciplined, informed, and high-yielding 2026 ahead |

Iamblessed88:You the same person who told me to stop posting my videos links here but here you are asking a basic question the last video covered and I also have a dedicated video just for this type question (MMF security) but it isn't posted here. Anyways Sha, I will still help you break this down. No! You don't have to insure this type of low risk investment, MMF is low risk but it doesn't mean it doesn't carry any risk at all. What you should understand is many insurance companies also play in the MMF space, Axa mansard is one of them. So if Axa mansard, an insurance company runs MMF and possibly have large chunks of their fund in MMF, What level of fear do you have that is greater than the risk tolerance of an investment company investiing? Secondly, Nigeria has another type of guarantees to oversee the affairs of MMF managers which we know as SEC. There other types of natural guarantees that protect your funds but let me stop here. Now what you should understand is this and it will shock you. Nigeria Banks are the most regulated in the whole world. YES, I said that..... In the whole world. Now imagine, Nigeria banks being highly regulated, but the system that provides banks and government with liquidity is left to fail... Naaah not possible. That's why MMF can't fail. If you don't understand, tell me, let me make a video and show you in practical from another angle and tell you when MMF will fail and the signs you should always look out for. |

@Beeron, God bless you, na man you be... Despite the fact that @lamblessed88 tried to prevent you from educating us here, you didn't ignore his questions, you answered him in a very polite manner and even offered to do a video for him if he doesn't get youranswers clearly. To me, there is no other better ways to show love and brotherhood. Kudos bro.. We know we have a lot of scammers and bad eggs amongst us, but we still have so many Nigerians with integrity and the fear of God. It is always good to give people the opportunity to be trusted. We open accounts online with different fund managers and deposit millions/billions of naira/dollars in their accounts without ever meeting any of the fund managers face to face, that is trust, accompanied with risk, after all, no investment on earth is 100% risk free. I have subscribed to your youtube channel, I also want to encourage others to subscribe and support a brother, he hasn't asked us to pay money into his account or buy anything from him.... Your Youtube videos are well loaded with watertight informations, I had to watch some multiple times to get the message correctly, because we weren't taught most of these things in school, even in our universities.

| Re: Mutual Funds by Beeron: 4:29pm On Dec 22, 2025 |
Donbrig:Thanks for your kind words sir; And also for your words of encouragement. And I wouldn't blame the gentle man too much because like your right said, probable spammers are likely scammers. I actually intended to begin creating videos on finance because I stopped writing finance related articles for blogs and websites. I love how we help each other here especially Emmasoft and some other few people here, I am actually an old member here who switched moniker to this one. If I mention my old moniker, you will easily remember me lol In bid to provide value and also learn from other senior investors here while I grow my YouTube channel, I will keep doing the little I can do because there are lots of investors here who decides to be silent but their wealth of financial knowledge will shock you. I know someone who currently works with CBN here. He will never say a thing here. Thanks to people like you who have subscribed to my channel. I won't disappoint. |

emmasoft:Please, lets say i invest 50mln in stanbic money market mutual fund and lets assume the rate is held constant @ 20%, what will the 50mln become in a year? Also assuming stanbics quarterly compounding (correct me if I'm wrong) I suspect my computation is wrong because the delta i am getting assuming compounding and non compounding scenarios is soo small. |
| Re: Mutual Funds by emmasoft(m): 9:48am On Dec 23, 2025 |
Iamblessed88:If we assume the following: a 20% constant rate, which is not feasible, and a one-off deposit of 50m at the beginning of the year, returns and capital will be 60,969,554.25. I want to say, realistically, with the current economic situation, this is unrealistic. By the way, Stanbic compounds monthly. |

Tax evasion is a crime, but tax avoidance is not be wise! Are you trying to avoid tax, and you don't have money for the FGN Bonds or you don't want to wait for the long tenor associated with direct investing in bonds, or you want something similar to MMF while enjoying a stable bond nature, then with as low as 5k, you can invest in the SFS Fixed Income Fund to get 17.01%. https://sfsfund.com/register?referral=4GJ0I3Q21G or reach out to me. |
| Re: Mutual Funds by Preator: 12:05pm On Dec 23, 2025 |
emmasoft:Abeg, how can i withdraw more than 5m from stanbic? This their rate is now ludicrous? |
| Re: Mutual Funds by Nobody: 12:27pm On Dec 23, 2025*. Modified: 4:49am On Jan 11 |
Preator:You can if you call customer care and fill a redemption form via mail |
| Re: Mutual Funds by Preator: 12:32pm On Dec 23, 2025 |
Iamblessed88:Haa, i hope they have a process via email o. Why will someone have to visit a branch to redeem in this age? My other FMs dnt do that for amount above 5m. |
| Re: Mutual Funds by emmasoft(m): 12:42pm On Dec 23, 2025 |
Preator:Fill out the redemption form and indicate whatever amount you wish to withdraw and send to them. You don't need to be in the physical branch, except if it's convenient for you. |
| Re: Mutual Funds by Nobody: 12:55pm On Dec 23, 2025 |
emmasoft:Yes you also do it by filling consent form via email |

Now stanbic rate is now looking ludicrous. 15.73%? |
| Re: Mutual Funds by doggedfighter(f): 8:41pm On Dec 24, 2025 |
| Re: Mutual Funds by Donbrig: 8:49pm On Dec 24, 2025 |
Stanbic rate is very very discouraging at the moment, my concern is not just the 15.73% at the moment, but how low Stanbic rate would be if CBN should decide to reduce rate in February 2026, Stanbic might go single digit rate.... Other fund managers are hitting 17 to 18+% Stanbic fund managers nor try at all.... They aren't wishing us a good happy Christmas with these rates.. Its like Stanbic now invest our funds in ordinary bank deposits Preator: |
| Re: Mutual Funds by Donbrig: 8:57pm On Dec 24, 2025 |
Norrenberger MMF is about 18.94% and all Norrenberger investors are going to enjoy this rate the whole Xmas holiday... Stanbic too do us, time to port..... |
| Re: Mutual Funds by emmasoft(m): 9:56pm On Dec 24, 2025 |
Donbrig:Stanbic go chop cane very well. I can see abandonment/porting from investors very soon. Norrenberger and First Ally have come to challenge the status quo. |
