6. INFORMATION ON THE NIGERIA ENTERTAINMENT FUND
6.1 Investment Rationale
The growth in Nigeria’s entertainment industry has been pronounced over the last 2 decades,
impacting the income and lives of participants in the industry. The sector is fast growing and
employs a large number of the citizenry and continues to contribute significantly to the country’s
GDP. It is reputed as Nigeria’s second largest employer of labour after the Agricultural sector and
is poised to contribute to Nigeria’s tourism over time with increasing interests from the international
community.
Over the last 10 years, the Motion Pictures and Sound Recording sub-sector has grown in size by
over 200%, increasing its contribution to
GDP by 20.1% from 2005 to 2015 (NBS).
The growth prospect of Nigeria’s
entertainment sector is summarized by
PwC in its Entertainment and Media
Outlook: 2015-2019 report as “The fastest-
expanding major market globally, it will rise
at an impressive forecast CAGR of 15.1%.
By 2019, the market will be more than twice
as big, with estimated total revenue of
US$8.1 billion.”
It is reasonable to assume that the projected growth for this sector is positively correlated to the
income of the operators and participants in this sector and our research has shown the following
common characteristics within the sector:
1. Unpegged income with strong potentials for growth
2. High consumption spend, especially life-style related
3. Poor investment culture
4. Significant risk of early bankruptcy as a result of (2) and (3) above
In a bid to address the key characteristics identified in (3) and (4), we are convinced that a
structured investment product with clear objectives such that will encourage investment culture
among entertainment practitioners will be of immense interest and value to all stakeholders.
6.2 The Fund
The product is structured as an open-ended SEC-registered unit trust (“Fund”) scheme with an
initial opening of N1,000,000,000 (One Billion Naira), through the issuance of 10,000,000 Units at
N100/Unit. As an open-ended structure, the Fund will allow for ease of entry and exit by investors,
however investors are encouraged to have a minimum investment horizon of 6 months in order to
allow for a realization of the Fund’s investment goals.
The Fund will be actively managed to achieve the following objectives:
1. Promote investment culture among participants in the entertainment industry: Among
investors that may be interested in the development of the entertainment industry

all cadres of stakeholders in the entertainment industry and provides investors an opportunity to
also earn attractive returns from investing in investment grade instruments including equities of
quoted companies, sovereign and corporate short-term debt obligations and real estate.

• The Fund Manager will continually explore opportunities that will ensure the Fund’s objectives
are realised however there is no assurance that the Fund will meet its investment objectives.
• Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by any
bank and are not guaranteed by any third party. However, the Fund Manager shall continually
apply diligence in selection of investment counterparties and instruments in order to minimise
investment risk.
6.6 Investment Incentives
The Fund provides the following opportunities to investors in the Fund:
a. Preserve Value of Invested Capital: The Fund seeks to maintain a deliberate overweight position
in low-risk and non-volatile instruments while taking adequate precautions to minimise the
effect of price fluctuation in preferred instruments with volatility. Investments in equities will
be undertaken with a conservative approach while investors will be encouraged to hold
investments for up to six months to ensure a preservation of capital as well as returns on
investments.
b. Access to Periodic Cash Income: Income from investments in interest bearing instruments and
dividend income from equities will form part of cash distribution to investors. Capital gains
realised on investment may be considered by the Fund Manager to form part of cash
distributions where such may not be required to increase investment capital.
c. Potential Capital Appreciation: Investments will be targeted at instruments that have significant
potential for capital gains while the Fund’s investment in the fast-growing entertainment
industry also exposes the investor to a significant upside potential.

of capital and encouraging investment culture among operators in the industry, investors will
be opportuned to participate in the growth of the entertainment industry through a single
investment

value-adding privileges available to the Fund investors, such as providing coaching to
entertainment sector participants on maintaining steady cashflows for daily and project needs.

industry, including but not limited to sound and movie producers, directors, actors, comedians,

particularly from citizens with similar investment objectives and those engaged in the provision of
products and services that support the development of the entertainment industry.

currencies shall be processed at the autonomous exchange rate advised by the Receiving Bank.
Certificates of Capital Importation (“CCI”) will be issued by the Receiving Bank in respect of all

required to enable the subsequent repatriation of proceeds of the investment such as from redemption
of Units or from any distribution of the Fund’s income that the Fund Manager may undertake.
6.10 Income and Distribution
The Fund will consider a distribution to investors in any financial year where the returns on investment
less relevant expenses exceeds 10%. The pay-out ratio of such income, where applicable shall not be
less than 50% of the net profit.
6.11 Risk Assessment Policy
The Fund Manager will undertake an assessment of all risks, vulnerabilities and threats prior to
undertaking all investments. The assessment will determine the respective issuer, market and
counterparty risks of all instruments. The Fund Manager has established a system of controls over
it’s risk management process to ensure compliance with risk management policies and procedures.
The Fund Manager will measure the issuer’s exposure to identified risks (e.g. market &
counterparty) using best practice evaluation standards. The Fund Manager uses Value at Risk (VaR)
and risk rating models to measure market and counterparty risks.
6.12 Risk Factors
The Fund Manager will exercise prudence in undertaking investment of the Fund. However, there
is a certain level of risk involved in every investment activity and no guarantees can be given that
all of the Fund’s objectives will be realised.
A subscription to the Fund should be considered a calculated investment and is subject to factors
such as political risk, market risk and liquidity risk; all of which must be considered before investing
in the Fund.
The Fund’s Key Investment Risks
All mutual funds carry a certain amount of risk. However, investments in the Fund are subject to
volatility based on economic conditions. Here are some specific risks of investing in the Fund.
a. Interest Rate Risk
The Fund may not achieve its objective if the Fund Manager’s expectations regarding
particular securities or interest rates are not met. Though the Fund is generally less sensitive
to interest rate changes than other collective investment schemes that invest in longer-term
securities, changes in short-term interest rates will cause changes to the Fund’s yield.
Mitigating Factor: The Fund Manager will continue to monitor interest rates to ensure that
the Fund optimizes the yield to investors.
18 | P a g e Nigeria Entertainment Fund- IPO
INFORMATION ON THE NIGERIA ENTERTANMENT FUND (CONT’D)
b. Equity Risk
Investment in equities makes the fund susceptible to potential loss due to volatility in prices.
Mitigating Factor: The Fund Manager will ensue that selection of stocks will be through a
research-led strategy which will take historical price volatility into consideration. Also, a stop
loss limit will be adopted to ensure bad positions are exited timely.
c. Credit Risk
There is a risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a contract, will default or
otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation, and as a result the value of an
investment could decline. The price and liquidity of a security can also be adversely affected
as credit status deteriorates and the probability of default rises.
Mitigating Factor: The Fund minimizes credit risk by investing only in high-quality
obligations and limiting the maturity of its investments. Only instruments rated by a credible
credit agency to be of investible grade will be invested in. Where such instrument is not
rated, the rating of the issuer will be considered as a substitute.
d. Government Securities Risk
The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the Nigerian government or its
state governments and agencies. Treasury Bills and other Debt obligations of the Federal
Government of Nigeria typically carry the full faith and credit of the FGN. However, not all
securities issued by government agencies are sovereign backed.
Therefore, the Funds’ performance may be adversely affected if certain securities do not
carry the promise of the FGN as the issuer when such bodies are unable to meet their
obligations. The credit risk is largely tied to the credibility of the issuer.
Mitigating Factor: These securities are backed via an ISPO, with the full faith and credit
of the Nigerian government, for the timely payment of principal and interest of its securities.
By contrast, corporate bonds or commercial paper are not backed by the full faith and credit
of the Nigerian government. No assurance can be given that the issuing bank will provide
financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if not required to do so by law. Hence,
the Fund manager will invest only in Government issued securities which are backed by an
ISPO.
d. Concentration Risk
The Fund will invest a significant portion of its assets in unsubordinated short-term debt
securities and money market instruments managed by companies/banks in the financial
services industry. Developments affecting the financial services industry will have a
disproportionate impact on the Fund. These risks generally include interest rate risk, credit
risk and risks associated with regulatory changes in the financial services industry. In
addition, financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term
financing.
Mitigating Factor: The Fund Manager will monitor ongoing trends in the financial services
industry to be able to take effective action in the event of policy changes.
e. Net Asset Value Risk
There is no assurance that the Fund will meet its investment objectives.
19 | P a g e Nigeria Entertainment Fund- IPO
INFORMATION ON THE NIGERIA ENTERTANMENT FUND (CONT’D)
Mitigating Factor: The Fund Manager will strive to ensure that the Fund is profitable.
f. Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash
Although, the Fund seeks to be fully invested, it may at times hold some of its assets in
cash, which may impact the Fund’s performance.
Mitigating Factor: The Fund’s cash will be held in an interest-bearing account at
competitive rates however, not more than 5% of the Fund will be held in cash at any point
in time.
6.13 Statements of Unitholding
Unitholders will be issued Statements of Unitholding which will constitute evidence of their
investment as well as title to the units stated on the Statements.
6.14 Unitholders’ Meetings and Voting Rights
The Fund shall hold its General Meeting of Unitholders at least once every 3 years. All Unitholders
will in accordance with the Trust Deed, be entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at any
General Meeting of the Fund. Each unit of the Fund entitles the Unitholder to one vote in respect
of all matters requiring the decision of Unitholders where a poll is required. Copies of the Audited
Annual Reports of the Fund will be mailed to Unitholders at their registered addresses within 15
days after the approval of the audited accounts by the SEC.
The Fund’s fiscal year ends on December 31 of every year.
6.15 Valuation of Units
The valuation of the Fund’s units shall be carried out at the end of every business day based on a
formula approved by SEC from time to time. The Fund Manager shall advise of the Bid and Offer
Price of the Fund at its offices and on its website and may engage other media channels in so doing.
6.16 Transfer and Redemption of Units
Redemption payments will be made 5 business days after the relevant Valuation Date at the Bid
Price prevailing on the date on which the Redemption request was lodged.
All redemption requests must be accompanied by the Statements issued to the Unitholder. The
Fund Manager will not effect a redemption from the Fund if the redemption request is not
accompanied by the Statement of Unitholding
Unitholders retain the right to redeem all or part of their Unitholding in the Fund at the Bid Price
not later than 5pm on any Business Day provided that Redemption Notices and Statement of
Unitholding issued to the Unitholder are received in accordance with the instructions specified by
the Fund Manager.
The minimum holding in the Fund is 100 units. A request for redemption shall not be honoured (or
a lesser amount will be issued such that the balance unit remaining will not be less than) if such
redemption will reduce the total number of Units held to below 100 Units unless the Unitholder is
redeeming their entire holding in the Fund.
