About Money Counsellors

We are a research, data and information platform where investors can find data, information and analysis on mutual funds, pension funds and annuity products in Nigeria. Our aim is to empower all investors with information to enable us monitor our investments and invest wisely. Our focus is bringing together on to one platform the managers (operators) of our investments where we can see, review, and compare data, information and analysis and provide transparency and details we as investors can use to monitor our investments, information such as prices, dividends, asset allocation, financial accounts, periodic performance, etc.

How the site works

The MoneyCounsellors site is free to all users. The site aims to provide you with data, analysis, information, guides, and education materials to equip you on regulated mutual funds, pension funds and annuity products in Nigeria. Companies spend an enormous amount of money training and teaching their sales staff to sell to you and close the transactions. Who helps you other than your own intuition, belief, and experiences?
