You can invest from as little as $50 and get instant access to a diversified portfolio for a much lower cost than purchasing the individual investments yourself.

    An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is a basket of securities that make it easier to invest in a large number of companies with little risk and maximum reward.

  • The value of one of my investment funds is not changing. Why is this?

    While ETFs are traded on daily basis, some funds (e.g., the money market funds) are not traded. Thus, the valuation may appear to be stagnant. Please reach out to ‘support@ndovu.co’ to request an emailed statement of such a fund.

  • I placed an order but I cannot see it on my portfolio. What’s going on?

    Access to the Ndovu platform requires the use of a steady internet connection. At times, clients may be located in places with poor connectivity. This may create challenges in order placement.

    Should you experience this problem, immediately email ‘support@ndovu.co’.

  • How long do fund orders take to process?

    Once your order has been submitted, the order will be dealt with by the fund manager at the next available valuation point. Most funds will value daily at 1800 Eastern Standard Time, but please note this can vary from fund to fund.

    Please see the fund factsheet for more information. Once dealt, your order status will update to ‘Dealt, awaiting confirmation.

  • I want to buy into dips in the fund price, how can I do this?

    Timing fund deals to intra-day movements in the markets are notoriously difficult due to their forward pricing nature. One way to smooth entry points and benefit from dollar-cost averaging is to set up a regular investing instruction, whereby you automatically invest a set amount of a particular fund (or funds) each month.

    Please remember that your long-term investment objectives should always take priority over any short-term fluctuations in price.
