Should be because I have never seen such an item in my statement..management fee from my experience is usually applicable for fixed deposit/cash management investments... winmak wrote:

Also put funds into CIC MMF recently, not a bad parking for money compared to bank account. So far, the interest earned in a month is more than what Equity paid me in a whole year 🤣😂

They put 20% of the fund in nakumatt bond. Greedy matapakas. They wanted to earn 24% interest while giving us 10% return. Now nakumatt is gone, so is the money invested, which happens to be my money. Even CIC had cash in nakumatt but a tiny percentage. They likely just absorbed the loss and moved on.

Amana have turned out to be something else! During the EGM of Nov 2018, they informed "investors" that the Chair (Mr. G Shaw) was to shoulder the whole Nakumatt burden. They then duped them to vote reclassify the shilling fund into Class A and B. Shock on "investors" when the next monthly statements arrived they had been allocated a share of the Nakumatt investment. In short, often they're folks just like you and me who get talked into thinking somebody else knows more than they do. These folks may not be con artists, but we've all allowed these other people to tell us what we ought to do with our money. We let ourselves believe that they're able to make better decisions about our financial situation than we are. If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense

One of the most powerful lessons you can learn is that nobody cares more about your money than you do. When you realize this, when you take responsibility for making your own financial decisions (instead of letting others make them for you), it can bring a tremendous sense of power and control to your life. Trust no one! If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense

Am considering putting a small amount into CIC after a friend recommended this to me. My aim is to have keep the money there long term.
Is CIC the best choice? My research tends to indicate so. But who knows if there is a better choice than CIC in terms of the investment rate?
