Hello wazuans. Anyone with experience with the CIC Money market fund? How soon do you get your cash if you opt to take your cash from the fund? I saw it has among the best returns, but are there hidden charges? Do they give you the choice to reinvest your monthly earnings like old mutual? Any insight will be highly appreciated especially from a subscriber of the cic money market fund

I have used CIC money market fund to pack my excess money and they are very good. If you want to withdraw they send the money to yoru account within 3 to five days. The rate shown is the net after they deduct all their expenses. So if they say 9%, thats what you will get. You need to difference between money market fund and unit trusts, the later is the one with hidden charges.

I have been using AA since 2005 for any excess fund. Rate is not the best but ok. I like their customer service and withdrawal takes 2 days - through Citigroup.

@Mutaga Been running 3 separate accounts with them since 2015. I have not complaints so far. Interest is paid monthly and compounded.

Withdraws hit my account with 2 days since I bank with coop their banker.

You can topup as little as 1k.

You get statement monthly electronically.

They charge 1000/- for a subsequent withdrawal within the month.

Interedt rate is +TB rate most times.

I transact via email but they send SMS to your phone and they do callbacks.

What's the return like at AA for the month of feb?According to my statements from CIC and Sanlam,the net return is 9.01% and 8.04% respectively,ie 10.6% and 9.46% gross...are there better places to park cash apart from M-Akiba,IFB,Cytonn?
