Share lessons using the hashtag: #MarketSlice<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hey ??<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started off November with grumbles about the price of onions, which increased by 285%. Later into the article, you&#8217;ll understand why this happened. But let&#8217;s see how mutual funds performed in October first, the month we united to speak up against police brutality \u270a?.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Mutual Funds Performed in October 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The table below lists the returns of mutual funds in October&#8211;based on price changes. The next paragraph explains the magic behind the calculation. ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mutual-funds-october-2020-1024x669.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mutual-funds-october-2020-1024x669.png 1024w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mutual-funds-october-2020-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mutual-funds-october-2020-768x502.png 768w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mutual-funds-october-2020-1536x1004.png 1536w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mutual-funds-october-2020-2048x1339.png 2048w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/mutual-funds-october-2020-360x235.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Assume you own 10 units of a mutual fund. If the selling price of each unit was \u20a6100 on October 1 and \u20a6105 on October 30, you have gained 5%. That is because \u20a65 is 5% of \u20a6100, and each unit now costs \u20a65 extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the same approach, we examined the sell prices for the units of these funds as of October 1, 2020, and compared them with periods around October 30, 2020. Then, we did some math to show how much the units of each fund gained or lost. If you still do not get this, please drop a comment and we&#8217;ll explain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learn More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/how-mutual-funds-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How do mutual funds work?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> ? Bond Funds: The Rain of Returns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, funds that invested in bonds have had high performances. For example, the NIDF fund had a performance of 15% in October. Remember that performance is measured by the change in the unit price of the fund. If a unit costs \u20a6100 in September and \u20a6115 in October, the fund has gained \u20a615 (15% of \u20a6100).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When entities, like the government, need money, they issue bonds. The initial price of the bond is determined by how much that entity needs, \u20a6100,000 for example. The issuer (entity lending the money) agrees to pay a set amount over an agreed period of time as interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the agreed amount is \u20a64,000 in this case, that amount, which cannot change, is called the <strong>coupon payment<\/strong>. However, there is another important term known as the <strong>yield to maturity<\/strong> (YTM). When a bond is issued, the YTM is the same thing as the coupon payment. So, for the above bond, the <strong>yield to maturity (YTM)<\/strong> is 4% (\u20a64,000 divided by \u20a6100,000). Here&#8217;s where things get interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since a bond is simply an agreement that qualifies one to receive coupon payments, it can be traded. If one chooses to sell the bond, bought at \u20a6100,000, many factors come into play but we&#8217;ll use a simple example to explain things. Take the YTM as the interest rate (currently 4%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the rate drops from 4% to 2%, the issuer still pays the agreed \u20a64,000. But 2% of \u20a6100,000 is \u20a62,000 so something isn&#8217;t right. To balance things, when rates drop the prices of bonds increase and vice-versa. Hence, at a 2% rate, the price of the bond jumps to \u20a6200,000 (2% of this gives us \u20a64,000). The reality is more complex but this is a basic example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine an Ali bought the bond at \u20a6100,000. Now that the rate has dropped to 2%, he can sell the bond to John for \u20a6200,000. It doesn&#8217;t mean the government is borrowing more, the selling value just changed because of the rate drop. Think of this as buying an item and reselling for a higher or lower value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cwry.se\/blog_signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-5-1024x221.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-5-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-5-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-5-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-5-1536x332.png 1536w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-5-2048x442.png 2048w, https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CTA-Card-5-360x78.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Conclusion?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The price and interest rate (called yield to maturity) move in opposite directions. If the yield increases, the prices drop and vice-versa. The reason for the heavy jump in bond funds like the NIDF is due to the increase in price, which is driven by the recent drop in bond yields. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">? Equity Funds: Not Slowing Down <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People shy away from equities (stocks), as they are termed as high-risk. Also, picking the right stocks is no easy task. It is for this reason that <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/equity-mutual-funds-nigeria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">equity mutual funds<\/a> exist&#8211;professionals help pick stocks and spread your risk. When the stocks in these funds perform well, they also perform well and vice-versa. You invest and the fund manager takes on the stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, we <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/mutual-funds-september-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported <\/a>that equities were making a bull run in Nigeria (the report explains in detail what a bull run is). This means that the stock market gained money. The story didn&#8217;t change in October, despite a slow dance mid-way through the month. One equity fund gained 12% in October. ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check this<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/mutual-funds?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=in_article&amp;utm_campaign=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We have the highest collection of Nigerian mutual funds<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f4f8fc\">\u26a0\ufe0f Just before you rush to get some units, equity funds are for the long-term play. The best way to invest in them is via automated deposits of a set amount over time. For example, \u20a650,000\/month. Finally, it is possible to lose money with equity funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>? Data snap of the month<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In May, a 50kg bag of onions was sold at \u20a613,000. Today, it sells at \u20a650,000*. That means the price increased by about 285%! Something similar happened <a href=\"https:\/\/businessday.ng\/agriculture\/article\/nigerian-consumers-squeezed-as-onion-prices-rises-171\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">last year<\/a>&#8211;the price increased by 171% within the same period. Farmers, according to Business Day, plant onions this period (November to December). That is the stock of onions, given storage challenges, is heavily depleted at this time till the next harvest. <\/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-631739 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\/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\/personal-finance\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Personal Finance<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n                        <h3 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/types-of-budget\/\">20 Types of Budget<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2023-08-21T17:07:34+01:00\">August 21, 2023<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/types-of-budget\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Budget-01.png);\"><\/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><\/div>\n                        <h3 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/types-of-retirement-in-nigeria\/\">Types of Retirement in Nigeria<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2023-03-28T15:58:43+01:00\">March 28, 2023<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/types-of-retirement-in-nigeria\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Types-Of-Retirement-In-Nigeria-scaled.webp);\"><\/div>\n                      <\/a>\n                                          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, reports from Hum Angle and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/features\/2020-09-15\/a-nigerian-farmer-s-murder-shows-food-security-at-tipping-point\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bloomberg <\/a>suggest that <a href=\"https:\/\/humangle.ng\/covid-19-impacting-negatively-on-farming-farmers-complain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">COVID-19<\/a>, floods in states like <a href=\"https:\/\/humangle.ng\/support-increases-for-kebbi-farmers-affected-by-floods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kebbi<\/a> (a major producer of onions) recent unrests have also contributed to the spike.
