The 360 Million Club: Nyandiedo’s exclusive financial freedom investment vehicle

It’s cool to work hard and make good money, but it’s amazingly cooler to have your money work hard for you to make even more passive income. Fact is, for your money to work for you, you ultimately need a well-structured investment vehicle that can consistently multiply your money.
The 360 million Club under the auspices of Nyadiedo Multipurpose Cooperative is one such hassle-free investment vehicle that uses its inbuilt systems to guarantees impressive monthly returns on your monthly savings. For starters, its branded 360 million club because its allows members save 50,000 monthly for ten years and yields 360 millions in compound interest. Isn’t that impressive?   

The exclusive strength of the 360 million Club is the well-structured systems of inter-business synergy between Nyadiedo Multipurpose Cooperative and Nyadiedo Microfinance Company. Assuming you were saving on your own, in ten years your monthly savings will be UGX 6.000.000, yet under 360 millions Club you would have a return of 360.000.000. That’s how the saving product acquired its brand name: 360 million Club.

The 360 million Club guarantees a monthly return of 5% on members savings. The scheme gets this return by lending saver’s money market women who sell in different markets across the Uganda, mostly in urban areas at interest rates of 7% per month. Savers are guaranteed 5% monthly return that accumulates through the power of compound interest to yield 360.000.000 in ten years.

In essence, the 360 million club lets savers to shoot two birds with the same stone; guaranteed high return on investments and financially empowering market women through enabling inclusive access to credit. Most of these market women running informal businesses would otherwise find it hard to access credit for operational capital from mainstream financial institutions. Social impact is at the heart of Nyadiedo’s investment strategy.    

Juxtaposed against other contemporary investments and saving plans in the market, the 360 million club has unparalleled high rates of returns. In the Ugandan market for instance, Insurance companies such as Jubilee Insurance, ICEA and UAP Insurance have similar saving plans. The annual rates of return in these schemes ranges between 7% to 15% per year. When you save 100.000 per month in these schemes, and you are earning an average of 10% per year, your cumulative yield over ten years will be UGX 21.000.000. Nyadiedo is capitalizing on the powers of high rates of returns that emerging economies offer.     

Well, now that’s why I call the 360 million club an exclusive wealth creation vehicle. If I am to choose between saving at the other traditional saving plans where I will save 100.000 per month and get 21.000.000 in ten years, or investing only 50.000 at the 360 million club and making 360 million, its obvious I will choose Nyadiedo over any other scheme. 

The other advantage with the 360 million club is that it’s owned by savers since it’s structured under Nyadiedo Multipurpose Cooperative. Members have a say on the business strategies of the schemes. Savers simply have no say in the business strategies of other traditional saving plans by banks or insurance companies.  

Finally, and perhaps the most wonderful aspect of the 360 million club is the financial freedom it guarantees. Presently the oldest member of the Scheme, Mr Ojijo Pascal will be 43 in ten years and the youngest member of the scheme Karungi Patricia will be 32. In ten years Patricia’s savings will yield a return of 360.000.000/=. If she opts to put her 360.000.000 money at Fixed Deposit at the rate of 10% per anum, she will earn interests of 36,000,000 per year or 3.000.000 per month. All that will be passive income.

Asked how he conceived the idea, Ojijo opined that he needed to support market women, in the same way GoBigHub was already connecting local investors to local entrepreneurs. Nyadiedo Microfinance, the sole vehicle through which GoBigHub supported market women couldn't legally accept deposits. When the women wanted their own saving schemes  Nyadiedo was born. “Taping on my expertise in collective investment schemes, I was motivated to create a product that would financially benefit both the saver and the woman in the market. That is what makes The 360 million to stand out ” said Ojijo.  

The strategic leadership of the scheme is comprised of a solid team led by Ojijo Pascal. Ojijo is a respected consultant in collective investment schemes, and is an author of 49 books, including best sellers in the field of investment schemes such as  Successful Saccos: Manager’s Guide to Attract, Grow and Retain Savings, Membership, Assets and Making Money Together: Ojijo’s Investment Clubs Manual.

Nyadiedo Multipurpose Cooperative is based at Kabagala, collocated with the Headquarters of GoBigHub. Beyond the 360 Million Club, the cooperative offers different other savings and loan products.
