There are many (best) mutual funds to invest in. In fact, it\u2019s the largest collection of mutual funds in Nigeria! So, how do you get started with investing given the beautiful choices you have? This is where knowing about the various <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/types-investments-nigeria\/\">types of investment<\/a> for investors comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we will cover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <a href=\"#who\">Who are the common types of investors?<\/a><br>2. <a href=\"#how\">How to determine your investor type<\/a><br><br>Or you can skip to quickly <a href=\"http:\/\/cowrywise.com\/risk-assessment\">check your risk tolerance<\/a> <meta charset=\"utf-8\">and get immediate access to investments tailored for you, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"who\"><strong>Who are the common types of investors?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to investing is understanding your risk tolerance. This is what helps determine what type of investor you are. Drawing from this, we have three broad categories of investors:<br><br>1. Low-risk investors<br>2. Medium-risk investors<br>3. High-risk investors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/risk-assessment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/CTA-Card-14-1-1024x221.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/CTA-Card-14-1-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/CTA-Card-14-1-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/CTA-Card-14-1-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/CTA-Card-14-1-1536x332.png 1536w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/CTA-Card-14-1-2048x442.png 2048w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/CTA-Card-14-1-360x78.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Low-risk investors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are investors who are not willing to take risks with their capital. The priority for low-risk investors is to preserve their capital regardless of potential returns.&nbsp; Hence, they go after low-risk investment offers. If you\u2019re a beginner investor, you\u2019ll most likely fall into this category of investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f5f7fc\"><strong>Get low-risk investments on Cowrywise with our <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/mutual-funds\">money market funds<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These funds are professionally managed by fund managers licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They invest in financial instruments like <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/treasury-bills-in-nigeria\/\">treasury bills<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/commercial-paper\/\">commercial papers<\/a> and bank deposits. These financial instruments ensure that the chances of losing the principal capital invested are very low. Similarly, the investments are usually liquid, meaning that you can have access to the investment anytime you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-border-color\" style=\"border-color:#8ed1fc\"><blockquote><p><strong>A good example of how to utilize the money market fund is to build an <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/emergency-funds-savings-work\/\">emergency fund<\/a> with it.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical money market fund is invested in treasury bills and bank instruments.

Medium-risk investors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When approaching investments, medium-risk investors are much more confident than low-risk investors. They are open to taking a few risks with their capital. However, they are also careful to ensure that while their capital may be impacted, it does not result in very high losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, medium-risk investments like <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/balanced-fund\/\">balanced mutual funds<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/dollar-investments-for-nigerians\/\">our dollar fund<\/a> are invested in a mix of high-risk and low-risk financial instruments. These include stocks, bonds and treasury bills (money market). This type of composition ensures that the low-risk components of the fund balance out the high-risk components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, the chances of losing capital are lower than what is obtainable for high-risk investments. Here is an example of the composition of a typical medium-risk (balanced) mutual fund:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"699\" src=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Investor-type-copy-b@2x-100-1024x699.jpg\" alt=\"types of investment\" class=\"wp-image-2712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Investor-type-copy-b@2x-100-1024x699.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Investor-type-copy-b@2x-100-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Investor-type-copy-b@2x-100-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Investor-type-copy-b@2x-100-1536x1049.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Investor-type-copy-b@2x-100-360x246.jpg 360w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Investor-type-copy-b@2x-100.jpg 2032w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/mutual-funds\/united-capital-balanced-fund\">United Capital Balanced Fund<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. High-risk investors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High-risk investors have the appetite to take risks. This simply means that they have the capacity to lose the invested capital if the investment expectations are not met. They are open to taking high-level risks with the expectation of high returns. Bear in mind that we are focusing on professionally managed and regulated investments. So investing in a <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/ponzis-in-nigeria\/\">Ponzi scheme<\/a> doesn\u2019t qualify.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"shortcode-block\">    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-wrapper\">\n      <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n          <div class=\"inhype-postline-block inhype-postline-block-486035 inhype-block clearfix\">\n            <div class=\"owl-carousel\">\n            \n                  <div class=\"inhype-post\">\n                    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-content\">\n\n                      <div class=\"inhype-postline-details\">\n                        <div class=\"post-categories\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/expert-piece\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Expert Piece<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/money-guides-and-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Guides<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n                        <h3 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/in-recent-times-digital-currencies-have-emerged-as-a-disruptive-force-captivating-the-attention-of-investors-technologists-policymakers-and-speculators\/\">Digital Currencies: The Future of Money or a Passing Trend?<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2024-05-20T16:55:46+01:00\">May 20, 2024<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/in-recent-times-digital-currencies-have-emerged-as-a-disruptive-force-captivating-the-attention-of-investors-technologists-policymakers-and-speculators\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/How-Startups-Get-Investments-scaled.webp);\"><\/div>\n                      <\/a>\n                                          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n            \n                  <div class=\"inhype-post\">\n                    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-content\">\n\n                      <div class=\"inhype-postline-details\">\n                        <div class=\"post-categories\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/money-guides-and-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Guides<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/investment-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Investing<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n                        <h3 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/mutual-funds-vs-etfs\/\">ETF vs Mutual Fund<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2022-06-20T18:16:34+01:00\">June 20, 2022<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/mutual-funds-vs-etfs\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/mutual-funds-vs-etf.png);\"><\/div>\n                      <\/a>\n                                          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Typical high-risk investments like <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/equity-mutual-funds-nigeria\/\">equity mutual funds<\/a> invest predominantly in stocks of selected companies. For example, there are a couple of equity mutual funds on Cowrywise that are managed by different fund managers licensed by the SEC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These equity funds invest in stocks of the largest publicly listed companies in Nigeria including Dangote Cement, GTCO, MTN, Nestle, Total, Access Bank, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-border-color\" style=\"border-color:#8ed1fc\"><blockquote><p>These equity funds invest in stocks of the largest publicly listed companies in Nigeria including Dangote Cement, GTCO, MTN, Nestle, Total, Access Bank, among others<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary attraction of high-risk investment is the possibility of high returns over time. However,  there is also the possibility of losing the invested capital due to the up-and-down movement in the prices of stocks. Hence, we usually recommend that you take a long-term perspective while investing in equity mutual funds.

We have developed a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/risk-assessment\">risk assessment tool<\/a> that allows you to establish fairly accurately what type of investor you are, at every point in time.<br><br>Why do we ask you these questions? Let\u2019s break down just 3 out of the questions we ask you in our risk assessment test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Marital status<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your marital status can have a lot of impact on what level of risk you can take. Being married often means having significantly more financial responsibilities. The rent is more, much more food is eaten and utility bills can easily double. This leaves a married person with less money to spend while also making that reduced investable money more sensitive. As a married person, you probably don\u2019t want to hear stories that touch on your investments. Therefore, all things considered, a married person is less of a risk-taker than an unmarried person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Age<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Helen Keller says \u201cLife is either a daring adventure or nothing\u201d. You\u2019d agree with me that our propensity to dare and get on an adventure is inversely related to your age. The younger you are, the more years you have ahead of you to recover from a bad investment. Therefore, your risk appetite goes down slightly for every birthday you celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Net-worth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The more money you have, the more money you have to put on the line to make more money. Was that confusing? This is one of the critical reasons why savings come before investments in the financial alphabet. Individuals with higher net worth have a larger and softer cushion to bounce back from a bad investment, which makes them comfortable enough to make high-risk investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you finish interacting with this tool, you will be classified as either a conservative investor (low-risk), moderate investor (medium-risk) or aggressive investor (high-risk). On this basis, we will automatically recommend different mutual funds that match your risk profile. That way, you are not just investing blindly. Isn\u2019t that cool?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To know your investor type and get immediate access to investments that match your type, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Take a brief <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/risk-assessment\">Risk Assessment<\/a> to know your investor type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Check out the investment options tailored to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Start investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We made sure that your journey to building your wealth is super easy and seamless. <a href=\"https:\/\/my.cowrywise.com\/mutual-funds?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=in_article&amp;utm_campaign=mutual_funds_organic\">Start investing <\/a>today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">ALSO READ<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/mutual-funds-for-beginners\/\">Mutual Funds for Beginners<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/investing-in-equities\/\">Investing in Equities<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/managed-portfolio-new-way-to-invest-on-cowrywise\/\">How to Invest in Managed Portfolio on Cowrywise<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usually, when you open an investment platform, a lot of options are introduced to you and you get confused.
