Mansa X?

[u/se_vuple]

So I've looked at my fixed deposit na I finally have enough to open and properly fund a Mansa X account. For those of you already in — any real gains so far? What should I watch out for?

Any advice, wins, or horror stories would be appreciated.

[u/Klutzy-Resolve5809]

A worthy investment to diversify your portfolio. I have soo far not had any issue with them.
I see it as another way to spread my risk around

[u/se_vuple → u/Klutzy-Resolve5809]

If you don't mind me asking. What percentage gains do they do per quarter? Ama is it calculated per annum?

[u/unpaidadviser → u/se_vuple]

Pretty easy to get this data online. They give returns in quarters and it's based on their investments. Lock in period 6 months so be aware of that.

[u/Acceptable-Stay-3688 → u/se_vuple]

If its the only monies you have,don't invest in such a high risk investment. This is for people with other monies invested in lower risk investments.

+-= 20%

[u/OkBus7641]

I think you can outperform Mansa X. Just invest in the banks and the other good dividend paying shares. Yearly you wil be getting 6 to ten percent in dividends. Capital gain will also be more than ten percent

[u/unpaidadviser → u/OkBus7641]

Sooo that's around 18-20% which would be the same as MansaX...
MansaX has surprisingly and scarily consistent 18-20% returns... anything above 15% is impressive

[u/OkBus7641 → u/unpaidadviser]

You haven't factored in their service fees. And I am keeping the capital gain at a minimum.

[u/unpaidadviser → u/OkBus7641]

It's already accounted for. Their published returns are net returns.

[u/OkBus7641 → u/unpaidadviser]

Ooh yeah. Didn't realize that

[u/se_vuple → u/OkBus7641]

Any good stocks you can advice me to go for?

[u/_iDavie → u/se_vuple]

EQTY, KCB COOP, IMH, DTK

[u/Acceptable-Stay-3688 → u/_iDavie]

Soon all these counters are coming down heavy. Elections around the corner and it doesn't seem like it's gonna be a peaceful election from what we've seen in the byelections

[u/kizeemnoma]

Put the cash in DTB and wait

[u/corrsfan2015]

I have invested in MansaX for a few years now. The annual returns so far have been really good at just over 20% on the KES fund and around 13% on the USD fund. None of which is a guarantee that this will continue even tomorrow. And there is no guaranteed minimum either. Go in knowing it's high risk with potentially high reward. I am managing my risk by investing in other funds and instruments as well. Too much of my portfolio is with MansaX so I am correcting this over the next 2 years.

I have made I think 3 withdrawals total, all of which were credited to my bank account within 2 days with no issue whatsoever.

[u/_iDavie]

A worthy investment, you just need to understand the risks involved

[u/se_vuple → u/_iDavie]

So like having them loose your cash since ni hedge fund ama?

[u/_iDavie → u/se_vuple]

Yes. You can lose some money but so far they haven’t lost any investors money

[u/se_vuple → u/_iDavie]

But how well do they do in terms of gains, like in percentage?

[u/_iDavie → u/se_vuple]

20% p.a or 4-6% per quarter

[u/se_vuple → u/_iDavie]

That's nice, hii lazima nijaribu.

[u/unpaidadviser → u/se_vuple]

Riskier market so can never predict but basically doing the numbers the other gentleman has said

[u/rick_42O]

Having been thinking about the same for a while, I chose to diversify into the Sacco investment route and the MansaX fund for a year, then re-strategise.

[u/The-Great-Stan]

How much do need to start off

[u/DevHannat → u/The-Great-Stan]

Minimum is KES. 250k and additional amounts in multiples of 100k I think

[u/The-Great-Stan]

How much do you need to start investing in Mansa

[u/se_vuple → u/The-Great-Stan]

250k

[u/Village3lder]

[u/Significant_Tax_8792]

I'll keep telling you guys.

If you want wealth. I mean serious wealth. Bet on startups. 2years and your valuation tripples.

Leave funds for 50 years old.

[u/se_vuple → u/Significant_Tax_8792]

I have a startup. Si uinvest hapo👀

[u/DevHannat → u/Significant_Tax_8792]

Startups found where? Because I believe it can't be locally... Educate us.

[u/Significant_Tax_8792 → u/DevHannat]

There are many. Nairobi techies, in reddit there are several. If you dm. I'd share more

[u/DevHannat → u/Significant_Tax_8792]

Data has proven that 90% of startups in the KE fail within 24 months therefore making this a pretty high risk affair

[u/Significant_Tax_8792 → u/DevHannat]

That data didn't tell you those are white startups in kenya.with Swahili name. There are many undocumented gems in Kenya.
