Summer is blooming in many parts of the world.
The radiant sun calls outdoor enthusiasts to organize fun-filled picnics. The joy it brings is similar to the advantages of investing in mutual funds. Let’s see how.
While it’s mostly rainy in West Africa, the occasional treat we get from the sun encourages outdoor relaxation at the beach.
A summer picnic with friends at the beach, where each friend comes with a unique tasty meal is the best. So, instead of a limited supply of treats you pack for yourself – pies or jollof. With friends, there’s a chance to enjoy more – from burgers to salads, spaghetti and wine or zobo.
This scenario is similar to how you can pool investments with mutual funds.
Instead of investing in one stock or bond, a mutual fund allows investors pool their money to buy a mix of investments and everyone shares the risks and rewards of the investment. You don’t need to have a lot of money by yourself to reap the benefits from a pool of investments. Just like you and your picnic friends can enjoy different tasty treats at low cost.
Investing in mutual funds is a smart way to put more money in your wallets and secure it too.
Need more convincing? Here’s why and how beginners can invest in mutual funds.
Why Own a Mutual Fund?
• Appreciation: The Main Course of Growth
Mutual Funds offers high growth potential as it carefully selects assets and securities that are like the ripest fruits and tastiest treats with expected growth in value. This simply means you will reap bountifully with mutual funds.
• Capital Gains: The Sweet Rewards
Imagine biting into a juicy piece of fruit and enjoying a delightful surprise. That’s what capital gains feel like! When the investments within your mutual fund portfolio grow in value and are sold for a profit, you get to enjoy the sweet taste of capital gains.
• Distributions and Dividends: The Picnic Bounty
Admit it, there is joy in sharing. Mutual funds distribute the earnings from appreciated assets as dividends to investors. These dividends, much like the scrumptious snacks passed around at a picnic, provide a form of steady income stream for shareholders.
• Liquidity: Reap Your Investments, Anytime
Mutual Funds offer high liquidity. It ensures financial flexibility and convenience by making your investments accessible whenever you need them.
• Exchange Privileges: Variety is the Spice of Life (and Your Portfolio)
Some Mutual Funds provide the flexibility to exchange your investment from one fund to another within the same category, just like picking a different tasty treat from your well-stocked picnic basket. There is no extra charge for this delightful privilege.
• Automatic Investing: Less Effort, More Growth
Mutual Funds allow you to set a recurring investment plan, so a fixed amount is automatically deposited into your chosen fund at regular intervals, weekly or monthly. Just like a self-replenishing food tray.
