You’re not the only one—InvestNaija can be confusing at first because it mixes stocks + mutual funds in one place.
See lessLet’s go straight to what you need: how to invest in a Money Market Fund (MMF) inside the app.
🔧 First, understand this (why you’re confused)
On InvestNaija:
Stocks → under Trading / Equities
Money Market Funds → under Wealth / Mutual Funds
👉 If you stay in the stock section, you’ll NEVER see MMF.
✅ Step-by-step: How to invest in MMF on InvestNaija
1. Open the app → go to “Wealth” or “Mutual Funds”
Look for any of these tabs:
Wealth
Invest
Mutual Funds
👉 That’s where MMFs are located (not in stock trading)
2. Select a Money Market Fund
You’ll see options like:
Money Market Fund
Fixed Income Fund
Examples may include funds managed by firms like:
ARM Investment Managers
Stanbic IBTC Asset Management
Tap on one.
3. Click “Subscribe” or “Invest”
Enter amount (your ₦5,000 is fine)
Confirm the transaction
4. Payment
Since you already funded your wallet:
Choose Wallet Balance
Confirm purchase
⏳ What happens next
Units will be allocated within 24–72 hours
You’ll start seeing daily growth (small but consistent)
⚠️ Common problems (likely what you’re facing)
❌ “I can’t see MMF at all”
Cause:
You’re inside stock trading section
Fix: 👉 Switch to Wealth / Mutual Funds tab
❌ “Subscribe button not working”
Possible reasons:
KYC not fully completed
Bank account not linked
App glitch
Fix:
Update profile
Log out and log in again
❌ “₦5k is not going through”
Some funds have minimums like:
₦5,000 or ₦10,000
👉 Try:
Increasing slightly (₦6k–₦10k)
🧠 Important clarification (very key)
On InvestNaija:
MMF ≠ Stocks
MMF is safer, slower growth
Stocks are volatile
👉 So you’re doing the right thing starting with MMF
💡 Honest advice (based on your situation)
If InvestNaija keeps stressing you, you can use simpler apps:
ARM One → very beginner-friendly
Stanbic IBTC Mobile App → stable and clear

Go to Profile → Complete Profile / Update KYC
❌ App behaving strangely?

🧠 One quick reality check
Your ₦5,000 will grow, but slowly:
Expect maybe ₦2 – ₦5 per day
This is normal—MMF is for stability, not speed
