How this site makes money
And what that does not buy.
Some managers pay us. None of them can buy a better position, because the ranking is by net yield and there is nothing else in the database to rank on.
What we are
A research tool for Ugandan government securities and unit trusts. We publish figures from Bank of Uganda and from fund managers, with a link to the document each number came from. We are not a broker, we do not hold client money, and nothing here is financial advice.
How we make money
Some fund managers and brokers pay us — a flat fee or a fee per funded account, never a share of what you invest. Where a relationship exists, the row on /funds carries a "paid partner" label. Where none exists, there is no label. Either way the position in the table is the same.
What paying does not buy
Position. The /funds table is ordered by net yield alone, and there is no rank, boost, priority or placement column in the database for a commercial term to reach — the schema has no such column, the ordering query has one term, and a test fails the build if either changes.
Where the numbers come from
Government figures are parsed from Bank of Uganda’s own published workbooks and reports. Every instrument page links to the file its figures were read out of, addressed by SHA-256 so it can be checked against the copy we archived. Fund figures are the managers’ own published numbers, each linked, and we do not audit them.
When we are out of date
Every data-bearing screen carries a badge saying which day its figures are from, and says so plainly when Bank of Uganda has not published since. A fund quote older than 45 days is labelled on the row. We would rather show you something stale and say so than quietly show you nothing.
