Many of us have searched for ways to invest in dollar mutual funds and been unable to find any we can invest in. Cowrywise realised there was a need for this investment option and decided to bridge the gap. We made it possible and super easy for you to invest in dollar mutual funds. We’ll be showing you how to get started and all you need to know about it.
What is the Nigerian Eurobond fund?
You can currently invest in the first of our Dollar mutual funds called the United Capital Nigerian Eurobond Fund. You’re probably wondering why it’s called a Eurobond fund when it’s a dollar-based investment option. We’re here to break it down for you.
Eurobond funds are a type of bond. This type of bond is issued in the host countries currency. A great example is that the Nigerian government can issue a bond that is denominated in dollars to allow foreign investors to have access to them too.
Now you’re probably wondering what a bond is. A bond is an agreement between two different parties. Another great example is that it’s like having a friend borrow from you and payback with a set interest rate. This means a government bond is simply the government borrowing money from the public with the agreement to pay back with a certain interest rate.
The Nigerian Eurobond Fund is a mutual fund that allows you to invest in dollar-denominated Eurobonds using your countries currency: the Nigerian Naira. It is managed by the Federal Government of Nigeria and other domestic companies like SEPLAT, Ecobank, and Firstbank.
How do you receive returns from your dollar mutual fund investment?
You’ve made the smart decision to invest in the United Capital Nigerian Eurobond Fund. What’s next? Earning your returns from your smart money move!
There are two ways you can earn returns from your investments. The first is the fixed returns on the Eurobond which is credited to your Cowrywise Stash annually. Currently, the returns sit at 8% per annum.
The second way to earn returns from your dollar mutual investment is from the change in the value of the Naira per USD. If perhaps the value of the naira drops against the USD then you gain additional returns on your investment.

Can I invest in the next eurobond using dollar (cash)? If yes, will my returns be in dollar as well or it will be converted to naira??
Hi Helen, you can invest in Eurobonds at any time. However, we only accept naira deposits at the moment. Also, your returns accrue in dollars.
So which is best to earn the second way or first?
Focusing on returns will be better

If I invest in the euro bond, it is expected that my return accrues in dollar, right? And how do I withdraw the dollar? Do I need to convert it to naira, if yes, how can I convert my dollar to naira on the app. Lastly, how long do I need to leave my investment on cowrywise? Or can I withdraw anytime?
Am interested. Let’s say I put in a $1,000. What the ROI…within 1 year.
