Supporting Financial Prosperity

Standard Chartered Bank’s launch of SC Shilingi aligns with the national financial agenda to increase access to affordable and flexible financial services.

The bank remains committed to supporting prosperity through commerce by prioritizing customer needs.

Secure Future Building

Moses Rutahigwa, Head of Consumer Private and Business Banking at Standard Chartered Bank, emphasized the bank’s strong position in assisting clients in building a secure future for themselves and their families.

He highlighted the unique combination of services the bank offers to facilitate this goal.

Overview of SC Shilingi Funds

Lydia Nakamya, General Manager of Affluent Banking and Wealth Management at Standard Chartered Bank, elaborated on the technicalities of the newly launched offshore mutual funds offering. She emphasized that SC Shilingi Funds provide clients access to affordable saving products and sectors with higher returns compared to local alternatives.

This product is suitable for clients with both short-term and long-term wealth-building goals, as it allows them to start with small sums. Potential clients are encouraged to contact the bank to discuss the product’s proposition and explore other investment opportunities.

Capital Markets Authority’s Role

Keith Kalyegira, CEO of the Capital Markets Authority, highlighted their role in protecting investors’ interests and ensuring the integrity and stability of the capital markets in Uganda.

Understanding Mutual Funds

The term “mutual funds” refers to funds that allow investors to pool their money with that of others, managed by a team of investment professionals.

Mutual funds, also known as collective investment schemes, unit trusts, or simply funds, provide investors with greater buying power and access to a wider range of investments than individual investors could achieve on their own.

Investors in a fund own units or shares that represent a portion of the fund’s portfolio holdings. The types of assets a mutual fund invests in can vary, including shares, bonds, cash, or other securities.

Benefits of SC Shilingi Funds

SC Shilingi Funds offer several benefits to investors looking to save for short to medium-term goals and manage their money effectively.

These benefits include affordability, with the ability to invest from as low as UGX 20,000, attractive returns on savings, and a convenient 24/7 digital experience.

Investing in SC Shilingi Funds: 3 Easy Steps

Investing in SC Shilingi Funds is a simple and straightforward process:

  1. Log on to the SC Mobile App.
  2. Click on the ‘Investing’ tab.
  3. Select ‘SC Shilingi Funds’ and follow the prompts to start investing.

With these clear steps, investors can begin their journey towards financial independence and wealth growth through SC Shilingi Funds.
