Pension Funds’ Return on Investment (ROI) for October 2022

Michael Oyebola by Michael Oyebola
November 6, 2022
in Funds Management
This is why you should make voluntary contributions to your pension fund, The Pension Transfer Window – Who holds the Joker?
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Please Note: The figures presented below are not audited. For audited figures please refer to the ‘Financials’ Section and the Money Counsellors 2022 Report on each fund and PFA, available in the Literature & Downloads section of each respective fund on the moneycounsellors.com website.

Highlights

October was an interesting month. The CBN announced it would be scrapping and redesigning high denomination Naira notes, starting 15 December 2022 and ending 31 January 2023. There’s been a lot of commentaries and so far the aftereffects have been that our already dysfunctional official FX market (more demand than supply, leading to rationing, etc.), the unofficial FX market has gone ballistic with the N:$ rate sprinting from $710:N1 to $860:N1 as at the time of this report. We posit this saying from John Maynard Keynes “the markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”. Protect your wealth, your investments, and your money.

Economic Update

On the economic front, the NBS reported that inflation had risen to 20.77% from 20.52% a month on. Inflation was 17.01% in December 2021. Are you getting richer or poorer due to inflation?
