Re: Mutual Funds by Nobody: 8:01pm On Dec 30, 2025
In October, I withdrew all my money from the equity fund because it dropped so much. Had I been patient, I would be smiling with half a million naira as at today. Investing in an equity fund is a risk, I concur, and I am willing to take the risk.

A new account constantly posting about a company is definitely suspicious.

This is just my own observation. If it turns out they're a good platform and better than Stanbic and Norrenberger, then I'd definitely try them out.
you don't have to point out what raised your suspicion. I don talk am before, very soon, just very very soon, people go put their money in an MMM platform unknowingly. How many people ever confirms with SEC or the likes ? All they need is make a couple of noise (advertising) and talk about how this one has so so rate among others and the crowd go swing go there.

Don't forget, no be everyBody wey dey rush jump into Bus dey go somewhere; some just need that opportunity to pick pockets / bags.

No be everybody in here be ordinary investoor; some na valid marketers - Hopefully, the fraudulent ones never join BUT if they haven't, it's just a matter of time.

500k? Well i make that already in about 10 days on my MMF. Not worth the risk for me
even if it takes one 2-years to make that 500,000 naira, it's better on MMF except such person can afford the risk

I just posted how to clear your doubt about a fund manager. By the way First Ally may be new here that doesn't actually make it new.
As an investor you are required to do your unbiased due diligence and go with what you are comfortable with.
As old as stanbic, some folks got to know about them on this thread.
Apart from rate, investors have other reasons they go with a particular fund manager it depends on priority and not trial and error kind of approach.

Read some pages backward from this current page you will get some things clearer.

I come in peace!
Thank you. I was only stating my observation. That's all.
Re: Mutual Funds by Nobody: 1:17am On Dec 31, 2025
500k in 10 days; Equity can pay that in 2days, depends on how healthy your funds are. Nevertheless, you can also lose it all in 5 days if the market deteriorates. As you stated, it is risky. However, some fund managers are good at research; it is unlikely to lose a huge sum of money except if Nigeria's economy goes south.

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%.

Please, when I withdraw (I do withdrawals monthly) from my money market investment will it be taxed based on the new tax law commencing in January 2026 even if I am not withdrawing up to 800,000 Naira?

Not Nigeria economy but the underlying companies bought by your stock manager.

Nigeria only affects "All share index" when the government policies are unfavourably like in the case of two months ago CGT 30% miscommunication. The market suddenly crashed in two days because two things the market hates are noise and sentiments over government policies.

What made the crash hit hard is because, foreign and institutional investors withdrew their money due to lack of clarity on Tax, it only took the Finance Minister Wale Edun to restore calmness in the market.

Now in such scenario, that's where the volitility and risk of your investment lies in even if all companies your stock manager picked were great— Imagine you were 500k up in gains but it reduces suddenly to 100k and even begin to eat deep into your capital and never fully recovers because since then till now some stocks has NOT fully recovered.

The issue of Tax has not fully been communicated.

Many are saying it won't be Taxed here but they themselves also lack clarity as the government is yet to outline clear plans for investment Tax.

The only thing known for now is only bond investment is Tax free and any other type or capital gain tax is still being under review after the crash of stocks market 2 months back.

Yes, the tax policy kicks off in January 1st but not in all sectors of the economy, and Capital gain tax is one of them. The reason being that, it's still under review.

To be safe, keep withdrawing and add the right narration when paying in your money.

lol some people really don't care or bother themself with how much they getting daily.

If you notice, the question they usually ask here is: "If I invest ### amount, how much will I be getting at the end of the month."

The average joe out there is concerned with end of the month gains. Only technical people like you track daily returns.

Exactly, Just invest in one high paying yield MMF this month on cowrywise and if by next month, that MMF yield drops, pull out your money and invest in another high paying mmf in the same cowrywise.

You don't need signing up for multiple MMF outside of cowrywise and all aggregated MMF on cowrywise are all SEC Approved.

And cowrywise doesn't have 30-days money hold policy before withdrawal, this is why it will be smart to trade MMF like stock on cowrywise, shop for the best deal.
I honestly don’t know why people are loyal to one brand. This is what I’ve been doing with cowry wise. Just go with the one with highest rate.
Re: Mutual Funds by Nobody: 6:06am On Dec 31, 2025
I get it. I'm interested in growth, so I will be sticking with it and MMF for stability and an escape route. CardinalStone equity at the moment is really doing well, as they heavily research their equity portfolio. I just hope the new tax law will be fair to investors.

No one becomes a complex or technical investor from day one. Complexity naturally catches up with you over time. In the beginning, you may not care much about some things but you will soon realize those little nuances add up to the big picture.

Case in point, when i first ventured into the investing/ the stock market, i never knew about nor cared for things like ASI, MPR, Interest rates and other marco economic factors. I was soon to find out those were the drivers for the things i cared about.

Every fund manager does well in a bullish market. I hope your case does not become like someone here who wrote an album titled the iniquities of equity.

Are you aware a lot of people are using MMF in place of Ponzi scheme. There are people who could have 1 million naira in MMF, but struggle to have up to 50,000 naira in their saving bank account. In fact if not for everyday expenses, they would have got nothing in their savings bank account.

And there seem to be lots of competitors nowadays with lots of misInformations flying about. People need know VERY LOW RISK !== NO RISK

There even are those looking for what pays higher than MMF even while on the platform.
that’s not a Ponzi if I must say. Why should I keep my money in the bank when there is a MMF? Just think about it.

You think your money is also safe at the bank? Lol

The issue of brand is deeply rooted in the structure of communication and vested interest of some people here on Nairaland.

Due to referral code benefits, they shove a particular brand down your throat here making the brand look all shiny and glossy.

This makes the beginner investors coming here for information thinks Stanbic is the best and will always be the best. It creates a bias and cognitive dissonance to other brands

It will only take time for you to have a second thought like "wait, how come I hear only Stanbic more often here than other MMF managers."

Stanbic low rates is beginning to challenge their previous knowledge, that's why most of them suddenly realize, "oh wait, there are others too offering good returns — I will move 50% out of Stanbic."

Re: Mutual Funds by Nobody: 6:18am On Dec 31, 2025
Not all fund managers; I am also trading the Quantum Zenith equity fund, and it has been chaotic. Thank God I only have 11,000 naira there. CardinalStone going from 36% YTD to 56.20% YTD in just two months is amazing.

Fund manager shopping is easier if you aren’t moving huge funds. The more your capital grows, the risk of moving it around increases. At that point, you also begin to look at things like brand/reputation, AUM, longevity, etc as apposed to rates alone which is fleeting anyway. At that point also, an extra 2% would not make or break you in any way nor will it alter your standard of living in any way

Why you might hear Stanbic more

Stanbic has the brand and reputation.
If you check how long this thread has been, most other fund managers were just starting up or non existant when Stanbic was already deep in the game in Nigeria.

Reputation/brand, Assets under Management, longevity and deep knowledge of various Fund management including MMF made Stanbic pioners in this segment.

Most oldies on this thread probably used Stanbic and so naturally recommend it.

There rates are sometimes low in comparison, but the High networth investors which they have courted over the years of their monopoly seem to stick with them cuz of other factors and ease of moving.


but they have had largest market share for sometime. Though that gap is closing with awareness and others offering retail options that Stanbic were slow to adjust at first.

Then what will you say about guys like Halo equity fund that have done circa 170% YTD and Magna carter fund that has done circa 80%? Stanbic also has done circa 63% YTD on their equity fund. Cardinal stone is even lagging behind
Re: Mutual Funds by Nobody: 7:15am On Dec 31, 2025
Yes, they are lagging behind the big boys. I think they just started the fund last year in Feb. I was told dividend is also distributed annually apart from the capital gains.

A woman who is in your Life solely because of your wealth would be gone the moment that wealth is no more BUT if there are other reasons She's in your life for, She rarely would leave that easily or at all.
To paraphrase:

A younger woman might leave once one is broke a bit and you can only provide 2 square meals a day. She seeks 3 square meals plus dessert and flamboyant outings.

but an older woman with wealth of life experience and knows the value of other benefits you offer her at that age might still stick with you.
Afterall she doesn't eat much these days and not flamboyant. So she can make do with your twice daily food offer.

That's part of why people hardly move to other assets plus cost implication.

Either they are older and prioritize other non-financial value FIRST or have large asset, different to move around.
They need to be sure to stick with one less likely to close shop.

some have grown to have insiders that give them express service over the years with the bank. Such relationships establish trust and are critical and difficult to build again while moving to another.
Re: Mutual Funds by chimex38: 7:34am On Dec 31, 2025
Let's say someone with 50M at 15% earns 7.5m yearly. Enough for his/her yearly expenses with leftover. Plus other values, customer service, ease of location, etc.
Would he/she be willing to move to one with 17-19% so easily? to start afresh?

In Mmf the differences in rates aren't much. ±3% maximum
(baring 1 or 2 outliers)
so isn't enticing enough for such class of people.


Compared to someone with 2M looking to use Mmf to build wealth. From 15%, The extra thousands on top of 17% is essential to him cuz of compounding effect.
Finance is the goal, other logistics or services is secondary.
