Today, we have exciting news! Mutual Funds from Asset & Resource Management Holding Company (ARM) can now be accessed via Cowrywise. These new mutual funds, managed by ARM Investment Managers, swell the growing list of SEC-registered mutual funds now easily accessible on Cowrywise by retail investors nationwide. Also, this deepens our position as the platform with the highest collection of mutual funds in Nigeria.
Meet ARM: One Of Nigeria’s Top Asset Managers
Established in 1994, as an asset management firm, ARM, is Nigeria’s largest non-bank financial services firm with the primary objective of providing a platform that meets all the investment needs of individuals. ARM Group’s retail products comprise mutual funds, estate planning services, wills, pensions, stockbroking services, and real estate.
Currently, it manages 6 mutual funds and all of them are now available on Cowrywise. Get them here with any comfortable amount. This partnership with ARM dovetails into our commitment to helping change the way Nigerians invest.
Speaking on the collaboration, Henrietta Bankole-Olusina; Managing Director, ARM Financial Advisers, stated; “Our goal is to empower more individuals to fulfil their dreams and encourage them to imbibe a healthy investment habit. Our range of mutual funds caters to different needs depending on their investment goal and risk profile.
How Do Nigerians “Invest”?
In 2019, when mutual fund assets hit the ₦1 trillion mark, Nigerians spent ₦730 billion on sports betting. That means, in 2019, 73% of the industry’s total value was equal to what Nigerians spent betting in just one year. Diving deeper into the report, we see that the drivers for this adoption are:
- Affordability
- Ease of access
- Ease of understanding
- The hope of expected returns
Sadly the adoption of betting has done more harm than good in general. Hence, to place people on a sustainable path of wealth there is a gaping need to make investments simple and clear about their rewards.
Starting in 2017, we launched into the market with a digital savings product. The process was (and is still) simple, people save any comfortable amount and we help invest the bulk in treasury bills and bonds to earn returns. Alongside this, we curate a robust finance education system that simplifies money for the everyday person.
These efforts positioned us to initiate our core plan of helping everyday people access high-end investments through mutual funds. On May 21, 2019, we started off with four mutual funds. Today, we have nineteen high-profile mutual funds.
The Journey To 10 Million First-time Investors
Partnering with top fund managers across the country, we will bridge the gap between onboarding and educating the average Nigerian. In essence, we are easing up more time for fund managers to grow wealth while we drive up demand. Our commitment is to introduce 10 million first-time investors to mutual funds in the next five years.

NEW:
Am happy to read this ope, my Question is this..how much can I withdra from your App to my bank account.
Thanks
Where is your office in Nigeria?
Do you have an office in Port Harcourt?
Do you have a desk with any bank in Nigeria
This is so true and real, Ponzi has led a generation of greedy people who are under the exposure of the cruel government to continue in the greed run, it looks so real, and has so much seduction and compulsion.
My question is how do I invite people to invest pls
Yeah, knowledge leads, getting quick rich is scam…….if I want to start to invest now, do I need to invest on three sides…..do the funds invest on the same things?
Good day,
Where is the question you promised at the end?
Hi Tosinmile, it’s the last sub-title:
Nothing is free – Will knowledge or greed lead?
Do you want to be a successful investor?
Fascinating read as usual. I’m truly grateful that I had an earlier exposure to Ponzi schemes and suffered minimal loss before learning from it. Ponzi schemes will always exist because ppl are inherently greedy and desperate to make money. I just hope I can educate my children to be money wise
How do we trust you too, because we don’t know your house, family, and you don’t have an office too. All we do with you is still on app (cowrywise). So what do we do sir, ma?
Hi Nuhu.?
We’re regulated by the SEC – https://cowrywise.com/blog/cowrywise-sec-license/
Our office is located at 5C, Rev. Ogunbiyi Street, Ikeja GRA.
It is false to state that we do not have an office.
Ope i have read this and I totally agree. Don’t worry I wont put money in Ponzi, when I can keep it with you. Ope please no more emails for this week. Thank you my love.
Lmao
Thank you for this
An intelligent and informative piece, however, where is the question?
When can I be able to withdraw from this site please
So my question is what’s the minimum amount u can invest ?
#200
I appreciate your effort, reaching out to people like me, Thank you. It really a privilege I most say. More updates please.
Ope, why are you guys not into stocks? Your only mode of investment is mutual funds and treasury bills.
What is the minimum amount to start with,can I withdraw Money at any time and what is the parentage of the profit.
Hello Maryam, trust you are doing well. The minimum amount you can invest is N100 to N1,000,000 depending on you. You can withdraw your money depending on the type of savings or investment plan you choose. When you are about to save all this option of how long your savings will be comes up and you decidecwhis is best for you. I hope this was helpful. Annual returns is 8.8%
Thanks ?
The write up was very helpful for me and the following questions, and response that followed. Thank you Ope for constantly updating us.
How can I withdraw from my emergency plan without maturity stage?
I can’t just stop following any article from you Ope, because you and Cowrywise has opened my eyes positively, great one, kudos.
I’m still not getting this,I as a person I’m not investing all I want to do is to save and anytime I tried doing that it doesn’t work out it kept saying your bag is secured while I won’t still be debited didn’t you think there is
anything going on with my account
This is educational and inspiring. You’ll be surprised some people will read this piece and still fall for sh*t when it occurs. Nigerians no deh hear the word. All of the people I warned during the time of Ponzi still invested when Loom surfaced. In the end, they were all doomed. A word is indeed enough for the wise.
That is an interesting and educating story from you there…. All those things at the starting point they look real but at the end you will see it’s fake coming to your side are we in the surfer hand or is it going to do otherwise
Thank u every much
Glad to read dis
Hi new something important
Yeah, knowledge leads, getting quick rich is scam…….if I want to start to invest now, do I need to invest on three sides…..do the funds invest on the same things?
Hhmm ope this is really great I love it I most commend you you are doing a great job I have fall a victim of some apps even the WhatsApp group also thank God cowrywise have open my eyes now because I’m investing with them and my profit is coming in everyday thanks Ope more update please
Wow I really love your write up, I give u five star ?????
Interesting and eyes open especially to greedy people who are too addicted to get rich quickly.
Pls Ope, I have a very serious matter and I’m very sad about it, with my account that your company is toying with by flagging me repeatedly.
What’s the problem I don’t know, I message, you did not reply.
Upon many people, I’m introducing to your platform and a lot of canvasses I do because many are saying to me that Cowrywise is a scam and I’m trying to condemn it
But, what I’m seeing from your company to me is scaring me seriously. The most painful aspect is that just immediately I link my card to start saving the next sad experience after my activation till now is that I’m on able to log into my account again after my card details have been collected and my account is debited..ah! Now you log me out of the app and I can’t log in any longer till now so so sad and this is very alarming.
Even one of my close related that I refer, she also submit all her card details and start saving, the same thing, she was logged out and she was even saying sebi I said Cowrywise is legit. In fact, I’m short of words, I just try to excuse myself because I’m disappointed with that development after she connects her card, that’s too bad.
In fact, I force her to do it, she didn’t want to use her card but I told her no problem.
But now, you create a problem
Pls help me rectify this oo
It’s very sad and I can’t log in to my account again…o sad gan

Wow am really appreciate with this enlighten.
Thanks Ope and Cowrywise.
I learnt my lessons about Ponzi schemes as far back as 2016 after MMM served me my first breakfast with my school fees. But what about these platforms that talk about reading news and get paid, something like that. They are hilarious though, but what do you think of them.
Thank you Ope, you really touched exactly were ‘am going, scams here and there, ever I haven’t been a victim, ’cause ‘am contempted with any little I have, a friend mentioned cowrywise when he was troubled by Lastma, and came to me for assistance, we started by talking of investment, then he said of your scheme a,and show me some proof, meaning it was not pay50k nd gets 100k of a type on social media, we discuss to the extent of showing me his transaction, then I was convinced, he sent the application to me on my WhatsApp, I then further, is a such of Relief, ’cause the amount I put in is an average of what I spent on enjoying myself daily.
How it is work,
This is d reason why I don’t want to invest my money to this platform, because am also a victim to mmm.
Good afternoon Ope, how do you guys generate the percentage you add to our money, like what do you guys actually do for you to just dash us 7.5% for just keeping our cash ?
Please I’ll appreciate an answer.
Good afternoon Ope,
I’ll say knowledge leads, as getting rich quickly without stress or risk is obviously a scam.
Please, how can I create a one-month fixed investment? The least I can find is three months.
Wow, this is really educative, thanks for the tip.
Hello Ope, thanks for always looking out.
This ponzi scheme mindset sticks very easily(putting money in something and expecting returns at the speed of light). If I want to change it I’d need to understand investment from basics.
Seeing as you have some knowledge concerning investment, What Do You Suggest I Do?
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for this ope. I enjoyed it. And it was very informative too. Learnt a few things. Thanks again.
Thanks dear Ope.
Making money is not an easy thing, let’s be careful scammers are everywhere.
Thanks miss or Mrs ope….you are right with it all..
Although making money is not been easy is all about risk taken, and as well one need to be aware of scammers
Accurately insightful…
I love reading this Ope. My friends has being victims to ponzi scheme,
i would have, if I didn’t have so much fear on investment and it risk.
Am happy I did investing with your company.
I didn’t invest much but, as I get to understand how investment works, better. I will be an investor down to my last.

It’s high time Nigerians awake out of sleep regarding investment and Ponzi schemes.

How can one get his referer bonus, have refered people but wasn’t paid jan31 as said by cowry wise
