As part of our process to provide tangible value for our customers, we had a tweet chat with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kalu-aja-553a51\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kalu Aja<\/a>. Kalu is the CEO of AfriSwiss Capital Assets Management Limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kalu is quite popular in the financial space being a leading voice in areas of financial planning and personal wealth management. This blog post is a summary of his experience with <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/mutual-funds\">mutual funds<\/a>. The following statements highlight questions we asked about his experience with investing in Nigerian mutual funds. You&#8217;d love his brilliant answers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>You\u2019re quite popular in this space, but we\u2019d love you to share something many of us don\u2019t know about you.<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m a Chelsea and Enyimba fan and I have visited all 36 states in Nigeria.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>That\u2019s quite an interesting mix! How would you describe mutual funds in simple English?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mutual funds are pooled investments managed by a professional asset manager.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How do Mutual Funds Work?

When did you first try out mutual funds?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A long time ago, in the early 2000s (yes!) and the fund is still existing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>You\u2019ve been in the game for long! Can you share any notable lessons from your first experience?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, quite a while. A few lessons I\u2019ve learnt:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I should have set up a direct deposit to invest periodically and buy more units.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I should have bought more units when the markets \u2018crashed\u2019. I separated value from price; when markets crash, usually the price not value drops thus buying more means I buy <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/value-investing\/\">value stocks<\/a> in the fund at lower unit prices.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naira cost averaging is buying every month a great investment whatever happens to the price.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Amazing breakdown. What would you describe as your big investment goal with mutual funds?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My big investment goal is <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/save\">saving<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/retirement-planning\/\">retirement.<\/a> I want to grow my passive income. Retirement is not an age, it\u2019s when your passive income exceeds your necessary expenses. Mutual funds are a means to take my active income and convert it to <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/money-guides-and-tips\/build-multiple-streams-income\/\">passive income.<\/a> Passive income is money earned with little or no effort. <\/span><\/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-85156 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><\/div>\n                        <h3 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/what-is-public-debt\/\">What Is Public Debt?<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2023-02-11T18:03:15+01:00\">February 11, 2023<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/what-is-public-debt\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Public-Debt-2-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\/what-are-bonds\/\">What Are Bonds and How To Invest In Them?<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2022-07-14T11:45:11+01:00\">July 14, 2022<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/what-are-bonds\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bonds.png);\"><\/div>\n                      <\/a>\n                                          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Sounds like a goal everyone should have.
