Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and for many couples, it’s that time of the year to show affection, appreciation, and thoughtfulness. But for Evans and Anita, two lovebirds who only recently started dating, the pressure is on. As they near the four-month mark in their relationship, both are scrambling to find the perfect gift for each other. Little do they know, their solution will spark a new love language, one that goes beyond chocolates and roses.

A New Relationship, A New Challenge

Evans, a financial planner and an ardent investor with ARM Investment Managers, had always prioritized making his money work for him. As a committed investor, he was keenly aware of the importance of securing his financial future through smart investment choices. On the other hand, Anita, a creative entrepreneur running a scented candle business, was more focused on building her brand and chasing her entrepreneurial dreams. Both individuals had different passions, priorities, and ways of living their lives, but there was one thing they could both agree on, they were head over heels in love.

However, when Valentine’s Day approached, they found themselves in a predicament. What do you get someone you’ve only been dating for a few months? What speaks to their heart and shows that you truly care? Anita had no idea what Evans might like, and Evans, in turn, found himself struggling with how to express his feelings for Anita in a meaningful and thoughtful way.

One evening, as they sipped wine and chatted about their future plans, Evans noticed something that made him pause. They were talking about financial goals, dreams of travelling, and saving for the future when Anita mentioned, almost offhandedly, that she had never considered investing in stocks or mutual funds. She had poured all her resources into growing her business and hadn’t looked into other ways of building wealth.

That’s when it hit him.

Evans realized that while Anita was a savvy entrepreneur, she lacked the financial cushion that could come from making her money work in the markets. As an ARM One investor, he knew the power of investing, how the right decisions now could lead to financial security down the road. And so, as Valentine’s Day neared, Evans decided to give Anita a gift that would be as practical as it was meaningful: an investment account.

One day, Evans surprised Anita with an elegantly wrapped gift box. Inside was a letter that detailed how much he appreciated her passion, creativity, and drive. But the real surprise lay in the accompanying paper: a newly opened ARM investment account under her name, funded with an initial deposit of 200,000 Naira. He had chosen to invest her gift in the ARM Money Market Fund, a low risk but highly liquid option that could help grow her money over time without too much exposure to risk.

Evans knew this was something Anita would never have splurged on for herself, but it was a thoughtful gift that could help her secure her financial future while giving her the freedom to continue growing her business without worrying about her financial stability.

For Anita, the gesture was a game-changer. She had always focused on her business, but now she saw that Evans understood the importance of financial security and wanted to help her achieve it. It wasn’t just a gift of money; it was a commitment to her future and a sign that he cared not just about the present, but about the years ahead.

Is an Investment Plan the New Love Language?

In a world where people often exchange gifts like chocolates, teddy bears, or extravagant jewellery on Valentine’s Day or any other day, Evans and Anita’s story serve as a reminder that love can also be expressed through thoughtful actions that go beyond the material. For Evans, the investment account wasn’t just about giving Anita money, it was about investing in her future and showing that he saw her potential.

For Anita, the gesture was deeply meaningful because it reflected Evans’ understanding of her ambitions and his desire to help her build a solid financial foundation. In a way, it was the perfect mix of romance and practicality, two things that, when combined, can lead to lasting happiness.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s worth considering: Is an investment plan the new love language? In an era where financial independence and security are becoming increasingly important, a thoughtful gift that helps secure your partner’s future might just be the ultimate expression of love.

After all, what could be more romantic than knowing someone is investing in both your relationship and your financial future? Maybe this year, it’s time to rethink traditional gifts and consider giving the gift of financial empowerment.

Evans and Anita’s story shows that love is not just about fleeting moments, but about building a foundation for a shared future. By gifting an ARM investment account, Evans found a unique and meaningful way to express his affection and long-term commitment.
