The Management
@manejemenn
#Thread Questions you should be asking your financial planner / unit trust agent should be why am I paying so much fees upfront (5%?) on top of my management fee.
There are two kinds of fees investors typically pay:
(1) Upfront fees (charged one off & ranges from 1-5%)
(2) Management fee (charged annually between 1-2%)
The 3 largest unit trust companies in Malaysia are all bank owned and make up about 70% of the unit trust market overall. Fees charged by the UTs go to the distributors. These distributors are all wholly owned by the bank (parent co), or an in house agency.

Good morning!

I have a gist for those of you who are not from kwara but love to see, hear and share your views about kwara and Kwarans. Importantly Kwarans living in diaspora.

To start with, @bukolasaraki is the Nigeria's Senate President and not the kwara Governor.

#Thread
@AbdulfataAhmed is the Governor of kwara State NOT Saraki as popularly portrayed by people outside kwara.

Fatai, was elected as the Governor, under the @OfficialPDPNig in 2011. He's enjoyed his own good, bad and the ugly days in office as the 001 of Kwara..

#FataiAhmedIsAScam
Though, there's been some speculations surrounding his ineptitude to perform well as the Governor due to his loyalty to his Godfather Saraki. However, we've seen a lot of power play in Nigeria politics of Godfatherism but that should still not be an excuse for a good governance

Good morning Twitter friends. I’m still in bed sick, but possibly on the mend at last after 4 days. Last night @tropigalia & @laura_luna asked me to do a #thread on the devaluing & misrecognition of #femme relationships so here we go.
First, if you don’t know what femme is, read this, this thread will still be here: bustle.com/articles/16608…
So to be clear, femme is a queer gender expression not tied to sex or gender identity. Femme is also not exclusively about appearance, but this thread will emphasize appearance bc I’m going to talk about the way femme relationships are read, thus based on visual cues.

We expect citizens to hold us to account for every word we say and every promise we make, not just on our innovative solutions for tackling poverty which I would be sharing today, but on our entire manifesto to be released to the public on Friday. #Fight4Naija

Ok. It’s time to go into Joshua’s memory box and tell his story #thread
Joshua was very much a rainbow baby 🌈 and we were so excited and over the moon when I finally made it into the second trimester. (Alex and I are both big rugby fans!)
I was working as a 1st year Registrar in A&E when I suddenly broke my waters at 24 weeks. I was transferred to Southampton @UHSFT who have a specialist level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. They were wonderful, and did everything they could to stop my labour over Father’s Day.
