How this is worked out: The reported yield is treated as an effective annual yield and applied for the fraction of a year held. Over twelve months that equals simple annual interest; over longer periods it assumes income stays invested at the same yield. Withholding tax is the only deduction applied. CheckInvestNg applies 10% withholding tax to money market fund income as an assumption: whether it applies under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 is an unresolved interpretation question (s.63(4) and s.162(1)(b)).

Yields are the figures each fund manager reported to the SEC's weekly NAV table for the week ended 9 Oct 2026, shown as published; they change weekly and are not guaranteed. The SEC table does not state whether management fees have already been deducted, so confirm the basis in the fund's fact sheet. The result cards above are after the 10% withholding tax CheckInvestNg assumes on distributions (CheckInvestNg applies 10% withholding tax to money market fund income as an assumption: whether it applies under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 is an unresolved interpretation question (s.63(4) and s.162(1)(b)).), with the gross figure and the deduction itemised in the summary; no entry or exit charges are modelled. The reported yield is treated as an effective annual yield and applied for the fraction of a year held. Over twelve months that equals simple annual interest; over longer periods it assumes income stays invested at the same yield. The list shows the highest-yielding funds with at least ₦5bn under management plus the largest funds by assets. Minimums and redemption terms are in each fund's prospectus.
All 11 ARM-managed funds in the SEC table
Largest first. Only the money market fund has an annual yield in the SEC table; for every other fund the return comes from the unit price, so the change column is the movement in that price between 11 Sept 2026 and 9 Oct 2026, not annualised.
| Fund | Type | Unit price | 4-week change | Fund size | Unitholders |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Money Market Fund Treasury bills, commercial paper and bank placements. Unit price is held at ₦1; returns are paid as yield. | Money market | ₦1.00 | 16.72% yield | ₦460.9bn | 91,328 |
MOFI Real Estate Investment Fund Ministry of Finance Incorporated real estate fund managed by ARM. Institutional, not a retail product. | REIT (institutional) | ₦109.23 | +0.65% | ₦260.3bn | 45 |
Aggressive Growth Fund Growth-oriented Nigerian equities. | Equity | ₦76.26 | +2.16% | ₦18.1bn | 13,252 |
Discovery Balanced Fund A mix of equities and fixed income. | Balanced | ₦1,500.70 | +1.74% | ₦17.8bn | 24,468 |
Eurobond Fund US-dollar Eurobonds. The unit price is shown in naira, so it moves with the exchange rate as well as the fund. | Dollar fixed income | ₦1,661.29 | +0.12% | ₦17.8bn | 358 |
Halal Balanced Fund Shari'ah-compliant mix of equities and fixed income. | Shari'ah balanced | ₦151.49 | +0.97% | ₦16.1bn | 8,536 |
Short-Term Eurobond Fund Short-dated US-dollar Eurobonds; naira unit price moves with the exchange rate. | Dollar fixed income | ₦1,441.90 | +0.52% | ₦3.1bn | 132 |
Specialized Dollar Fund US-dollar specialised fund; naira unit price moves with the exchange rate. | Dollar specialised | ₦1,421.52 | +0.61% | ₦2.7bn | 67 |
Sharia Compliant Fixed Income Fund Sukuk and other Shari'ah-compliant fixed income. | Shari'ah fixed income | ₦1.25 | +1.38% | ₦2bn | 990 |
Fixed Income Fund FGN and corporate bonds. | Bond / fixed income | ₦1.46 | +1.15% | ₦1.3bn | 1,684 |
Short Term Bond Fund Short-dated bonds, a step out from the money market fund. | Short-term fixed income | ₦1.30 | +1.01% | ₦752.6m | 998 |
Unit prices are the SEC-recorded offer prices in naira (bid where no offer is published). Dollar-denominated funds are shown at their naira unit price, so their four-week change includes the move in the exchange rate. The MOFI Real Estate Investment Fund is an institutional vehicle included because the SEC lists ARM as its manager.

Projection at your assumption
In the last 12 months these funds' prices changed by between 5.2% and 84.3%; that year was unusually strong. Past returns are not a forecast, and outcomes can be far lower, including a loss.
Risk profile — Mutual Fund
Risk depends entirely on the fund’s mandate — a money market fund and an equity fund are not comparable. Returns are not guaranteed, past performance does not predict future performance, and the value of your units can fall as well as rise. Funds are SEC-regulated but not government-guaranteed or NDIC-insured.
| Risk type | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Credit / default risk | Varies | Depends on what the fund holds — sovereign bonds, corporate debt or equities. |
| Inflation risk | Present | Nominal returns can trail CPI, particularly in fixed-income mandates. |
| Interest-rate / market-price risk | Present | Bond and balanced funds fall in value when yields rise; equity funds carry full market risk. |
| Liquidity risk | Low to moderate | Redemption is usually T+3 to T+5, and some funds apply an early-exit fee. |
| Reinvestment risk | Present | Distributions are reinvested at prevailing market levels, not at your original yield. |

Frequently asked questions
What is the ARM Money Market Fund interest rate in 2026?
The ARM Money Market Fund reported a yield of 16.72% to the SEC for the week ended 9 October 2026, −0.62 pp against 17.34% on 11 Sept 2026. That is rank 31 of 49 money market funds by yield; the NAV-weighted average was 16.85% and the highest reported was 21.31%. It is a floating yield, not a fixed interest rate: it moves with treasury bill and commercial paper rates and is not guaranteed.
How much will ₦1,000,000 earn in the ARM Money Market Fund?
At 16.72%, ₦1,000,000 earns about ₦12,967 in one month and ₦167,200 over a year with returns reinvested, before the 10% withholding tax CheckInvestNg assumes on distributions (about ₦11,671 and ₦150,480 net; whether that tax applies to money market funds is an unresolved interpretation question under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025). Use the calculator above for your own amount and duration, or switch it to "Earn ₦X/Month" to work backwards from a target income.
Is the ARM Money Market Fund safe?
It is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and invests in low-risk instruments such as treasury bills, commercial paper and bank placements, with the unit price held at ₦1. It is one of the largest money market funds in Nigeria at ₦460.9bn and 91,328 unitholders (number 4 by size, about 7% of all money market fund assets). It is not a bank deposit and is not covered by NDIC insurance, and the yield floats with market rates.
Which ARM funds are there, and how big are they?
The SEC table lists 10 retail ARM Investment Managers funds with ₦540.6bn in combined net assets and about 141,813 unitholders: Money Market Fund (₦460.9bn), Aggressive Growth Fund (₦18.1bn), Discovery Balanced Fund (₦17.8bn), Eurobond Fund (₦17.8bn), Halal Balanced Fund (₦16.1bn) and 5 smaller funds. ARM also manages the ₦260.3bn MOFI Real Estate Investment Fund for the Ministry of Finance Incorporated, an institutional vehicle with 45 unitholders that retail investors cannot buy into. The full table on this page shows each fund's unit price, four-week change, size and unitholders.
How do I calculate ARM Aggressive Growth Fund or Discovery Balanced Fund returns?
Neither has a fixed yield: the return is the change in unit price plus any distributions. In the SEC table for the week ended 9 Oct 2026 the Aggressive Growth Fund was ₦76.26 a unit (+2.16% since 11 Sept 2026) and the Discovery Balanced Fund ₦1,500.70 (+1.74%). To project either, use the mutual fund calculator below in the Equity or Balanced category and enter the expected annual return from the fund's latest fact sheet.
What is the difference between the ARM Money Market Fund and the ARM Halal Balanced Fund?
The Money Market Fund holds short-dated conventional instruments, keeps a stable ₦1 unit price and pays its return as a yield (16.72%). The Halal Balanced Fund is Shari'ah-compliant, holding screened equities and sukuk, so its unit price moves (₦151.49, +0.97% over four weeks) and it can gain or lose value. The Halal Balanced Fund is ₦16.1bn against the Money Market Fund's ₦460.9bn. ARM also runs a Sharia Compliant Fixed Income Fund for investors who want Shari'ah-compliant income without equity exposure.
Where do these figures come from, and is CheckInvestNg affiliated with ARM?
CheckInvestNg is independent and not affiliated with ARM Investment Managers or the ARM group. Every figure on this page is taken from the Securities and Exchange Commission's weekly "Net Asset Value and Unit Price" table for the week ended 9 October 2026, with four-week changes against the table for 11 Sept 2026. Minimum investments, fees and redemption terms are set out by ARM in each fund's prospectus and on its own website and app.
