I can't find meristem on cowrise app
That's because Cowrywise merged all individual investments into one portfolio.

So now you will choose according to your risk appetite, it's a ploy by cowrywise to systematically sell their own MMF product because theirs is number one on the page and they didn't merge their own with anyone.

if you really want Meristem, just download their app and invest with them.

Does TrustBanc or Cowrywise compound daily, monthly or quarterly? Which Mutual fund compounds daily or monthly? Also, How safe is funds invested with Trustbanc on their Prime app.
Please, help a newbie. I hope to make my first investment this week.
There are things people say that sounds logical but it’s not true. For instance; read the reason cowrywise gave for merging rates. Does it sound logical? Yes. Is it true? No.

You can apply this same framework to those saying that risk is same across all fund managers. They are nothing but referral crumb hunters.

Take a trip to stanbic head office and the office of some of the fund managers being promoted here. Then tell me which you would rather invest your life savings with.

Forget finance jargon, if Firm A has over 1 Trillion AUM and has been around for 30+ years, and Firm B has 1 Billion and has being around for 5 years, which would you rather stake your life savings on?

If you were SEC, which of the two firms would you rather put under more scrutiny? The firm with 1 trillion or the one with 1 billion? Especially considering that you aren’t omnipotent and your job is to protect public interest.

What’s the “so what” if a firm violates SECs trust and does agro business with your funds? Will SEC kill them? Worst case, they’d pay fines and someone may do some jail time (unlikely). Remember, your money is gone.

You think stanbic does not like high rates? Ask your self, how is someone else offering you 20% in same economy while the more experienced manager is giving you 15%? Could one of them be taking more risk? All money market investments are transparent. There is no information asymmetry.

Ask your self, if the guy offering you 20% is much more brilliant than the others, how come their operations and processes are subpar compared to the one offering you lower rates?

Some things are just intuitive and some people are just being obtuse

And their rate is higher as well...

I usually go to their app everyday to check their rate and the merged funds rate and laugh out loud..


The hustle for investor's money is real.


Hahahaha

Good morning boss

Even one was being talked about here... I checked them out and realized they started last December....

I ran for my life...

I had to ask AI why such wide margin exists between that one and others....

The response was even more satisfying.....

I took my leave and decided to be peeping from a safe distance...

I wish to fully agree with you due to the fact that my biggest investment is with stanbic (personal sentiment) but when we look at the fact that gtb asset management or even first ally are also higher than stanbic this argument becomes invalid. Those 2 are also very reliable names, and that includes meristem. Low Interest is not a validation of trust level. As some people explained earlier, it simply means one Fund manager is working harder than the other.

Administrative fees and other costs are part of what affects Stanbic

Stanbic pay band is higher than any of the funds managers listed above.

I just know there are deeper things to Stanbic rate.

Let's not forget early last year. Stanbic was the highest at a time and on consistent 20% b4 q4
Re: Mutual Funds by Preator: 2:34pm On Feb 23
Stanbic is a behemoth that takes time to get into traction now. With around 51% of the AUM in the industry, when they move, the market shakes. Also, there are very people who need their kind of funds at such high rates.

Thats the advantage of the smaller firms. They are nimble enough and have various opportunities to plug their small funds. Who will take 2.4 trillion from Stanbic to do what? But all this 11bn firms can always move around from one person to the other.

But please, do not put your money in a Fund simply becuase someone says its ok. Do as your spirit leads after due diligence.

By the way, NGX ASI is now 196.2k. Not a financial advice.

I think stanbic is the worst performing fund manager when it comes to MMF right now. They are not even making effort to try, they have become very lazy. Left for only them mmf would have drop to 10% interest rate by now.

No be lie ooo,the only reason i am still with them,is because of 1 meeting like that wey them talk say suppose hold this febuary to determine something something. And this compounding of interest that is done monthly.
Because after removing management fees from other management companies ,coupled with rhe fact that their own compounding is done quarterly,havent done the maths though,everyone go still dey the same average in the long run

304th Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting on Monday and Tuesday, February 23 and 24, 2026.
The MPC is the CBN’s highest policy-making body, responsible for formulating monetary and credit policies aimed at ensuring price stability.

Through key instruments such as the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), and Liquidity Ratio (LR), the committee guides interest rate conditions and overall monetary direction in the economy

The meeting starts today :
Day 1: Monday, February 23, 2026 – Time: 10.00 a.m.”
“Day 2: Tuesday, February 24, 2026 – Time: 8.00 a.m.”
Re: Mutual Funds by tempest12: 9:27pm On Feb 23
Oga, everyone can't be in stanbic, I believe when they started out many years back, people were running away then too. The young institution will always grow to create room for competition, no matter how big an institution is, if it's not properly managed, it will also fall and we have seen many big institutions fall in the past or merged.
Just becos many of them are small today, doesn't mean the bigger ones are stronger. It's all.aout proper management skills.

How many people even go to SEC website to check. All they have to do is just mention SEC somewhere in the website and people like Creditalerts will jump on it and even generate referral code to market to others

My thoughts too. Nimbleness is the key word. Big funds tend to earn slightly less cos deploying mammoth sums into limited high-yield CPs is harder…not because they are inherently safer. The risk parameters are already defined by regulation, so the idea of a wide safety gap between compliant money market funds is just marketing noise for the most part….

In a simple way to make you understand.

Thinking of Tbills as you borrowing the government money but can choose the duration for which you want to borrow the government usually (3 month, 6 month and 1 year)

However, Think of MMF as you giving a professional fund manager who help people invest their money — you and other people like you willing to invest, give the fund manager your money then the fund manager will pool all money together and buy short term investment like that same Treasury bills aforementioned (Not only Treasury bill though), now that's the reason people prefer MMF because a fund manager will invest more in other investments you literally cannot invest in by yourself because of little capital, for example commercial paper.


Do you understand now?

Good to know.

Around OBJ's time, investors could do turn overs of minimum 50% profit and above 3 or 4 times in 1 year.

Around GEJ, it was like 2 to 3 times.

Towards the end of PMB's government in 2015, it was 2ce, as of 2016 ending: once per year. As of 2019, once in 2 yrs and has continued that way for several long term investors who want to buy LOW and sell 'MEDIUM' to HIGH....

These days the daily/ weekly/ monthly investors who want faster turn overs with smaller profits are more rampant and this takes knowledge, experience, to do as losses could be more frequent reason why newbies dread stock trading and take solace in MMF, Fixed deposits, government instruments etc. Even those who aren't newbies who were used to those profits then are usually careful and have to research more now before taking a stand( BUY entry price).
