Which mfm are you currently using for dollar fund investment.

Presently, my money is in my account. I would have used Stanbic but I already have the limit of investment I want to have there for now let me diversify.

I have opened a united capital Eurobond fund account but have not been able to fund it. I tried to do a transfer to their account and was told by my bank that I cannot do a Dollar transfer between Nigerian banks except I am sending to a bank outside Nigeria.

Then I tried to deposit the money only be told by the teller that the account I deposited the money to is a naira account..and the receipt printed for the deposit was showing a naira sign. It means that e.g my $1,000 becomes N1,000 which is not in any upto what is acceptable for the Eurobond fund. The teller refunded my Dollar and ask me to pay her Naira because they could not debit money from that account after crediting it.

I am still waiting for them to reply me on how to go about it.

Their customer service gave me an account no that I thought was a Dollar Account.

I don't know, but year till date return from FBN Asset Management Eurobond Fund gave a return of over 9%

Wow, is this rate still valid?
Re: Mutual Funds by SaintUlot: 2:00pm On Feb 08, 2020

Okay.

I’m aware of FBN’s current 9.92% interest rate but the challenge is the entry fee $2500.

Union capital has a lower entry rate at $1000. I’ve shot them an email for the interest rate.

Thanks!


Where can one view the current rate for the dollar fund

If you cannot do dollar transfer between two Nigerian banks how will United capital be able to send your interest to your bank account?

I believe the dorm is for investors refund and redemption. Most likely it's accepted for the investment houses as a means of refund.

Yes, I already have a dormiciliary account I opened at the time I wanted to invest VDF and it is still functional. However, the Issue I have is that the account given to me for Eurobond Fund was not a dollar denominated account and as such I could not pay in dollar.

Secondly, I was told transfers from a Nigerian Dollar account to another Nigerian Dollar account is no longer accepted.

@the bolded, in that case how will investors make payment for investment and how will fund managers pay interest on investment if dorm to dorm transfers are not allowed?

Means of Identification in Nigeria now includes: National Identification Card, International Passport, Drivers Licence and Permanent Voters Card. You can use any of the above apart from National ID.
Also, Utility bills includes: Water bills, Electricity bills, House rent receipts etc. Stanbic also accepts your bank statement provided it carries your house address.

Having an address presently different from the one you have on your National ID should not hinder you. Your house/contact address could change at any time. It is just for you to explain to the bank one any question comes up about it.

@ernie4life very correct. Actually the first investment you must do is on yourself invest in training/Knowledge before you invest in any money growing windows.You need it in order to take calculated risk.NB: All investment has risk attached it's only that the risks are in different categories/levels: Low, Medium, High and Very High levels

UNDERSTANDING MUTUAL FUND INVESTING

The pooling of financial resources together for investment purposes with an objective to minimise risk with varied investment options and maximise returns is the ideology that gave rise to mutual funds. A mutual fund is a fund or a collective investment scheme that pools money from many investors and invests the money in stocks, bonds, short term money market instruments, other securities or assets, or some combination of these investments. This avails small investors who ordinarily would find it quite difficult with a small amount of capital to access diversified portfolios of equities, bonds and other securities which is professionally managed for optimal yield.

Mutual funds are operated by fund managers, who invest the fund's capital to produce capital gains and income for the fund's investors. Each share that makes up the fund represents an investor’s proportionate ownership of the fund’s holdings and the income those holdings generate. The combined holdings the mutual fund owns are known as its portfolio. The portfolio is structured and maintained to match the investment objectives stated in the prospectus issued by the sponsor of the fund.

Mutual Funds also known as Unit trusts can either be Open Ended Funds or Close Ended Funds. The focus of this write-up will be mutual funds.


Open-Ended Fund: . This is a fund that has no restrictions on the amount of shares the fund will issue. If demand is high enough, the fund will continue to issue units no matter how many investors there are. Open-ended funds also buy back units when investors wish to sell. By continuously selling and buying back fund units, these funds provide investors with a very useful and convenient investing vehicle.

Close-Ended Fund: This is a publicly traded investment company that raises a fixed amount of capital through an initial public offering (IPO). The fund is then structured, listed and traded like a stock on a stock exchange. It raises a prescribed amount of capital only once through an IPO by issuing a fixed number of shares, which are purchased by investors in the close-ended fund. Unlike regular stocks, close-ended fund stock represents an interest in a specialized portfolio of securities that is actively managed by an investment advisor and which typically concentrates on a specific industry, geographic market or sector.

Unit Investment Trusts (UITs) is one which make a one-time public offering of only a specific, fixed number of redeemable securities called “units” and which will terminate and dissolve on a date specified at the creation of the UIT.
