What Does “Additional Contribution in Multiples of ₦1,000” Mean in Money Market Funds in Nigeria?

“Additional contribution in multiple of ₦1,000” in a Money Market Mutual Fund simply means:
👉 Any extra money you add must be in ₦1,000 units
Simple Explanation
You already invested in a Money Market Fund
Now you want to add more money (additional contribution)
But the fund sets a rule:
You can only add money in ₦1,000 steps
Examples
Allowed ✅
₦1,000
₦2,000
₦5,000
₦10,000
₦25,000
Not Allowed ❌
₦1,500
₦2,300
₦7,550
₦10,250
Because they are not multiples of ₦1,000
What “Multiple of ₦1,000” Means
Multiple means:
₦1,000 × any number
Examples:
₦1,000 × 1 = ₦1,000
₦1,000 × 2 = ₦2,000
₦1,000 × 3 = ₦3,000
₦1,000 × 10 = ₦10,000
Why Fund Managers Use This Rule
Money Market Funds use this rule to:
✅ Keep calculations simple
✅ Maintain unit pricing
✅ Make processing easier
Example Using Your Situation
If you already invested:
₦50,000
And you want to add:
You must add ₦1,000 or more
And it must follow ₦1,000 steps
Example:
Add ₦3,000 → Allowed
Add ₦3,500 → Not allowed
