What is the redemption policy of Stanbic IBTC MMF ?.

Minimum holding period 30 days.
Redemption is within 24hrs if u apply before 12noon otherwise you get your money the next business day

Tohmey:

Clear me sir, is it when breaked it that 10% will be deducted?

I want to believe you are asking if it's when you withdraw before maturity that 10% is deducted.

No it's a regulatory requirement for fixed deposit.
Even when you hold to maturity the 10% WHT will be deducted, if you didn’t hold to maturity it will be more.

Please note that fixed deposit is different from fixed income fund.

The later is a mutual fund no deduction of WHT by regulatory policy while the former is cash deposit similar to what the commercial banks do.

I hope this help.

ibechris:



Have u moved again?

Yes. The movement to FSDH didn't work out then.
Currently, I sell

Fixed income fund for SFS capital,

MMF for Stanbic IBTC Asset Management and EDC Fund Management Ltd,

Stockbroking for Investment one.

NL1960:


Thanks.

Please elaborate on this stanbic ibtc MMF as she already has the StanbicIBTC Asset Management account opening forms sent to her by her account officer. She is just waiting for my advice on which one to choose from the list or doing a Fixed Deposit. The key questions are if interest is accrued daily and if so when is interest paid and if to be paid, is there a re-investment option?. I still have the VGIF you once recommended as i understand how it works.

Stanbic IBTC MMF is like any other money market fund.
Interest accrued daily as well.

Reinvestment is available, it’s just like the VGIF you know the only difference is that interest is valued daily, and reinvestment is done at the end of each month not every six months like VGIF.

Actually, the method of reinvesting at the end of each month just started this January. IBTC used to reinvest randomly.

The SFS operates the same way in fact default is reinvesting except you state otherwise.
Reinvestment here is quarterly.

Please to help my ministry tell you wife to use my link on my signature. The account officer will still be maintained.

After registration, she can inform the account officer or if she insists on the paper form kindly write this code on the form L63LJ7GX

Thank you.

Tohmey:

Thanks sir, but am seeing fixed deposit on INVESTMENT ONE 500k and above at 11% p. a and 5,000,000 and above at 14% p.a. How safe is that one causd I'm considering to use that one due to i already have account with them

It's also safe, but know that 10% WHT will always be deducted from interest on fixed deposits and the rate remain fixed irrespective of any positive changes in MPR.

NL1960:


Which Company is behind SFS?. My wife is looking for a fund to move her savinga to. I have VGIF from GTFunds(Former Investment-One) for myself. Iam evaluating others for her

SFS Capital is the company. They are just like investment one as well. A company that resulted from a management buy out as a result of regulatory policies.
They also have one of the oldest Reit - SFS REIT.

SFS Fund is managed by SFS Capital Nigeria Limited, a product of a Management Buy-out of Skye Financial Services Limited, which operated as the investment banking and investment management subsidiary of Skye Bank Plc. The change began after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) instructed all Nigerian banks to sell off their non-banking subsidiaries. Coincidentally, while the divestment process was in progress, SEC began implementing the rule preventing Asset Management Companies from engaging in other activities. All this combined led the existing management to carve out SFS Capital Nigeria as the Portfolio and Fund Manager for SFS Fund.

Since your wife wants any safe investment SFS is good and you can also check other funds I represent. They are all safe without any equity involvement.
EDC MMF and stanbic ibtc MMF.

Tohmey:

Sir, How safe it is

SFS fixed income fund is in the category of safe investment. It's very safe.

Underlying assets doesn't involve equities so no fear of capital loss.

FGN bonds and treasury bills are backed by the might of the federal government. All capital invested in the fund is very safe and returns are sure.

The fund was lunch in 2014 and since then till now it has been doing great and rewarding investors nicely.

Thanks

How come their rate is higher than the current Tbill rate?

MMFs have more than just Tbills as the underlying assets.

exclusiveoloori:
Hello guys , how reliable is MMF? I did with First Bank FBNQuest and I have been following my interest online. I want to know if it’s risk free like Tbills cause I’m planning to add more to my investment as I can see that their rate is reasonable for now.

The basic underlying assets of all MMFs are Tbills and commercial papers

Curiouscity:


I wish I had this type of awareness 15 years ago. Most of our parents wanted us to get educated in certain careers, but not how to manage and grow the money earned. I lived with my uncle who used to buy stocks in the 90s. He never educated me on it. I went on to work in a bank, where I help people buy shares or even cash their dividend warrants, yet I didn't own 1 share in any coy.

I know it is not too late for me, but I wish I started earlier than now.

Chinese proverb: "the best time to have planted a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now"

Many people had the same experience but many also are doing very well now after getting the knowledge.

So you can still do well even if you just got to know about investment today. Set your investment objectives, get the right knowledge, do your due diligence, and be focused.

Remember risk appetite and age should be seriously considered when you approach the capital market for any investment.

leparj:


Bought some sha. Was buying more of Zenith @ N19 and N20.

Seeing GTCO at N17 then was scary. Thought it will fall more.
Lessons learnt.

It's always the case in the stock market. Most people always believe a stock will always fall more when it's on a downward trend and vice versa, hence many always miss out during the bear and during the bull.

Well, that is what makes the stock market interesting.

It's always advisable as stated by someone's signature on this thread "plan your trade and trade your plan"

Greed and fear are emotions one has to master/control if one will want to always benefit from the market, especially for traders.

I remember many people waited endlessly for MTN at N50 junction
The best approach is just to have your investment objectives in place, it will help you know your entry and exit point after your due diligence

Legitist:
I wish to know what the relationship between Gtco and investment one.

Seems investment one is back. So, are they taking back what GTCO took from them before? Or are they separate entities?

Anyone with idea on how these two now operate.

Investment one never left. They have always been in business and still very much around to do business.

The only difference between the current investment one and the one prior January last year is that the fund managing part of the business has been sold to GTCO.
Ie Abacus, VGIF, VBF, and VDF.
Investment one still do stockbroking, fixed income, tbills etc.

Currently, there is really no relationship per se except the usual business transactions between corporate bodies.

Hello Folks,

Now that starlink is in Nigeria, is it the right time to offload MTN shares ?

ISPs and other competitors have been in Nigeria all this while and they could not stop MTN to soar and attain greater heights.
The coming of starlink will not pose any issue for MTN the market is large enough.

Hi Everyone,

I tried logging in to my InvestNow (UCAP) account on my laptop (not the app) and realized the InvestNow homepage has changed. The main concern is that I am unable to log in. It says my account does not exist and when I attempted a password reset, it says my email did not exist. Anyone in a similar situation?

Thanks!

I beg oh, why is the daily return not showing again stanbic mmf again. I have been refreshing my app and last updated statement is December 31st,2023

The daily returns is there.

I think Stanbuc IBTC has gone back to the normal MMF tradition of accuring daily returns to be paid or reinvested at the end of each quarter.

After you login to the app, select mmf and click view account.
You will see current interest which is your daily returns from January 1st to date.

For stock, not very good news but the market always has a mind of its own, most times positive sentiments can overpower economic analysis and vice versa. We see that in the recent past where the increase in rate could not stop the rally that started in December 2022

Inflow simply means transfer. Asset management companies want your funds to be transferred to them so as to leave a trace and not allow themselves to be used for money laundering which is a possibility with cash deposits.

Very correct. It's a regulatory protocol. All inflows must be traceable whether naira or dollar.

RayRay06677:
Compliment of the season, please any idea when MTN will be paying dividend? What was arrived at during last meeting. Abi nothing to share?

The last meeting of MTN was an EGM for shareholders to give approval for the cancellation of their unissued shares. AGM will come up later this year after the audited result is released no later than 31st March 2023. Then shareholders can now be expecting dividends around that late April or May.

Meanwhile, if you hold your public offer shares you bought till the end of January which makes it a year or so after the offer, it was assured during the meeting that the bonus shares promised will be credited to your cscs account. But remember it's not instant. So long you qualify just wait after all regulatory protocols it will be credited.

The post below is exactly one year today. I only changed 2022 to 2023. Looking at the outgoing year, I felt the content of the post is still relevant and we can remind ourselves of some of the things we already know. Just have a glance.

Few things to Note in 2023

In a few hours, it will be another year. 2023 … loading.
I believe the outgoing year 2022 had its ups and downs, there were some mistakes and likewise some areas where things were done right in terms of investment decisions.
Many met their saving and investment objectives while some could not, some miss opportunities while others make use of opportunities, in all we have learned one lesson or the other.

As we look forward to a new year, here are some good investment practices that could help:

1. In all your investment moves make sure the safety of your capital takes priority.

2. Note that you can’t be everywhere in terms of investment rather go for what you understand, and you have the ability to cope with the inherent risk.

3. One of the best moves in investment is to start with what you have. Don’t wait till you have all the millions. Do something with what you have currently and build on it.
For instance, if you have plans to invest in bonds or real estate and currently you only have tens or hundreds of thousands why not start with mutual funds that can help you build your funds gradually and in no time you can invest in your desired investment window rather than waiting and your money losing value.

4. There will always be Ponzi schemes so watch out and tread carefully. When returns look too good to be true it’s most likely not true no matter who is involved.

5. Don’t tie your investment decisions only to rumors. Do your due diligence always. Note sometimes you may see yourself going alone on your decision to invest, don’t bother as much as you are sure and know you are on the right track.

6. Always endeavor to have a balanced portfolio that can help in your risk management. Risks are managed better when spread across different investment windows.

7. Don’t forget according to Warren Buffett
Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1

I wish you all a happy, bullish, high-yielding, and investment favorable 2023!
