Not yet ooo. I am mailing them this morning.

Na why all these investments managed by government people don begin fear me since late last year ooo. Coupon and matured bills are no longer paid as and when due. The that defaulted that day, I was immediately notified of the default by the Arranger and I was given a timeline of payment. Before it even get to the day they promised to pay, they already paid. The only issue I have with them is that there were 2 opening that I would have reinvested and the 2 closed before I got the money but then you get more communication and ability.

WAYOO!!

It looks like the naira is gradually regaining its rightful value, as market conditions and economic factors begin to stabilize, allowing it to strengthen against the USD

Hmmm,

Hmm. 18% E don dey drop oo

Funny enough they still maintained the rates, despite drop in inflation and complains that it's hurting businesses

with this indices just released by the CBN,

stop rate may likely go up again to around 20% OR more,
from this 18.4% now

This was expected. They've increased rates at every MPC since Cardoso took over.

Going from increasing rates to maintaining it is the right thing to do

We can expect cuts going forward.

Inflation was rebased that is why it seemed to have dropped well in actual sense it didn't drop by that rate.

For clarification please.
If I have 1.9 million in my and request for Treasury bill of 2 million. Will it fly. Banks with Gtbank

Nope. You can however request that they reinvest your interest from the #1.9m capital.

Thanks

Second best for now after FBN quest

How is FBN quest better than Tresury Bill please? Is the CBN in charge, too?

Hello house, please how long does it take to liquidate a 1 year Treasury after 7 month done at first bank. How soon can I be credited? Funds needed urgently.

Damolux01:

The question is not clear.

FBN Quest is an investment arm of First Bank, while the Treasury Bill is a debt instrument issued by CBN on behalf of the Federal Govt.

You can buy T Bills in two ways: 1, Through the Primary Market. 2 Secondary Market.

To buy through the primary market, you can bid (Auction system) through your bank or Investment House. Some banks can only take your bid with a minimum investment amount of #50,000,000 as set by the CBN while some investment houses take as low as #100,000 and you can not set the rate. And the auction takes place bi-weekly.

You can buy from the secondary market anytime, any day of the week, for as low as 100,000 or even lower from a bank or asset management company (investment house). The rate is already predetermined, and most of the time, it is the yield rather than a discounted rate that is d, as most banks or investment companies don't pay interest upfront.

DigitalMallam:

Is it true that Dangote Sugar is open to only qualified Institutional investors and interested Individuals can only subscribe through an investment company? Has anyone experienced this?

Please when is the upfront interest paid if you invest in the first bank secondary market? I requested that my interest should not be reinvested.

Choose between first bank and Stanbic

uwaifou:

Choose between first bank and Stanbic

Have with both of them so you can move your money around in case one fails

pls House,
I am considering locking 15million Naira for one Year, while expecting Good returns,

Therefore,
Between 19% First Bank secondary market Treasury Bills

and

22.30% Stanbic IBTC money market fund

which one is better??

If you do the TBills option, you get a fixed percentage of interest after deductions.
If you go with the MMF option..2 things can happen within 1 year; the interest rates may go up or come down and this will largely determine how much you will be left with at the end of the year.
At the end of the day, it's your decision to make.

But then again, You can do the tbills option, collect your interest upfront and then put the interest you got from tbills into the stanbic MMF make e collect small breeze...bad as e bad

21 Feb 2034 FGN bond coupon payment received on time

Hello house,
I saw a post on line indicating that the CBN has cut Treasury bill rate

How truthful is it?

I assume the rate is secondary market. If interest is paid upfront I said Yes to FBN.

However, if the interest is not paid upfront why not consider Fixed deposit on I-invest some Micro finance offer rate as high as 24% and tenor of 331 that is if maximising return is your objective assuming no emergency need for the fund.

Going by the trend it appears days of high rate especially for T Bills is coming to an end and when you look at some of the basket of funds that make up MMF T Bills is one of them and what is the guarantee that MMF would average 22% YTD performance for most part of the year 2025.
One major advantage of MMF is that you can liquidate after 30 days i.e. if emergency come up or better investment opportunity arose!

The decision is yours to make.
