What do I need to know about my investment account?

Minimum Investment

The minimum investment on ALTX is 100 units, which is equivalent to a face value of only UGX 10,000. That’s right, with just ten thousand shillings you can begin earning from your investment instantly.

Account Maintenance Fees

ALTX charges a subscription fee of $6 (or approximately UGX 21,000) per year. This is an annual fee used to maintain our systems and ensure you have an unrivaled investment experience.

The fee is collected when you transact. That is only when you buy (invest) or sell (liquidate).

Regular Investment

In order to benefit from your investment account, it is best to plan to invest regularly. This can be every week, every month or every quarter. The frequency is up to you but it is important to stick with it.

The regular investment allows you to achieve the smooth growth of your wealth over time.

If you would prefer to make smaller investments, for example, investors taking advantage of our UGX 10,000 minimum, you will need to do so more often (at least weekly) in order to meet your goals.

“Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid of standing still.”

 

Private individuals over 18 years old, with a valid ID can open an account online.
