If 20m is used to buy 19m worth of bond and coupon rate calculated based on 19m and not 20m, how much will be your gain should you decide to hold it to 2yrs maturity period?
Please educate me.

Its 2yrs bond but will mature in a yr and six months time. It's not possible to increase or reduce it except u decide to sell before maturity. The yrs are stated clearly during the transaction period but may not get to the stated time before maturity. This is only applicable to secondary market FG bond.

I understand fgn savings bond has a minimum of 5k with quarterly interest disbursement but I wish to ask, if 10m is invested in it, will the same formula used to calculate fgn bond be used for fgn savings bond?
Eg: In fgn bond, 20m worth will have coupon rate of 19m.
In fgn savings bond, will 10m worth have a coupon rate of 9m?

Though I'm not an authority in this line of investment, but I guess this must be Fgn Bond.

Always monitor and check the pricelist of bonds from NSE and FMDQ

The price on the price list will show that, but most bonds are currently selling at a

Sir, what is the prevailing rate presently?? I heard that you can lose your initial capital when you terminate the contract before maturity. I believe that it is so when you buy at rate and not at discounted rate. Am I right sir?

I don't even understand it from there.

I now understand. Thanks

It depends on the bond you are buying we have series of bonds in market which have different durations and maturity periods. Visit your Stockbroker for further inquiries or you can buy fixed income funds which have different bonds in their portfolio from any asset management company or Investment house.

You can't lose your initial capital if you hold till maturity.

Sir I use Morgan and stanbic. Gtb, access, uba, zenith, etc. You advised on this stock and I grabbed zenith at 16n, gtb at 25 and access at 5n. It pained me that I didn't see money to buy una.

Sweet deal. Hope you haven't sold your Access.

In the primary market N20 million will buy N20 million bond

In the primary market, there are sometimes Re-issue of existing bonds whose prices are not at par. I have bought above and below par in the primary market in the past. I think it's because of maturing coupons on the Re-issue bonds. That's where the dirty and clean price or the yield to maturity tricks comes into the calculation. Kind of complex for a newbie. Only a newly issued bond in the primary market will you buy at par or say N20 million will buy N20 million bond.

I swear, it is demoralizing, MMF pays Quarterly, and there are different types of MMF, some MMF invest in Equity (these are risky but with higher returns), while others invest in TB and other fixed Assets (these are less risky and claim to preserve your capital), to get their rate you may need to them directly, it is usually between 9% - 11%

What type do I have with stanbic then? my money gained fixed incremental sum daily. From my calculation it gained 8% p.a. hence I get the daily fractional increment as monitored from the App. Not bothered with the little return though just using it to aggregate funds till Jan ending.

FBN Asset Management will give you 10%, FSDH Asset Management is still around 11%.

They lend some of their customers money under their Asset Backed Lending Scheme at 20% per annum. I think that is one of the reasons why their money market fund is still at 11%.

Minimum loan is N5 million, collateral are Treasury Bills ,money market funds, Eurobond Fund and blue Chip shares.

It is one of the biggest Merchant Banks in Nigeria . I have my money market funds with them and FBN Asset Management a subsidiary of FBN Merchant Bank

So it's not First Bank Nigeria that owns it?

First Bank is the parent company of FBN Merchant Bank.

The merchant bank is for High Networth Investors and business people, you will need a minimum of N20 million to open a business with them.

Thanks for the info.Am also looking at the 2037 govt bond but have no idea about that. I may forgo the house and go straight for that bond with 40m next year but my problem is that i dont know if i can be able to subscribe and even if i would,how much percentage would i be getting??

needful:


It's TRUE that we do not agree for reason best to known to us but try that bond. The 2yrs bond is actually a year and 6months and the good thing is that my first coupon payment will arrive on the 15th of this January and next one will be in July. The mathematics is very clear to me now as in, u use 20m to buy a bond worth of 19m on the coupon rate of 14.5%. U get 14.5% of 19m quarterly and upon maturity, u will receive 19m instead of 20m. It's as simple as that from the recent bond I did. If u can queue into that particular 2yrs bond which is actually a yr and six months, ur first coupon will still arrive in January 15th.

Hello,which bond currently offers this?? Can the interest be compounded??
