hello, good evening..
please, if I buy a bond of say #100,000 and before a particular coupon payment, I buy additional units of another #100,000..
what will my next coupon payment be?
Hi Peter, if I understand you correctly you want to know if subscription can be topped, I don’t think that’s possible. Every subscription is a new one and as such for each subscription you have to wait for their individual coupon payment date.
Can i buy bonds of 15000 naira?
Hi David, yes you can buy FGN Savings Bond with N15,000
if i buy for #420,000 for 101 days, how much would be my return ?
HI Olayiwole, FGN Savings Bond is usually a minimum of 2 years tenor, and your return will be based on the rate DMO is offering. So, assuming you buy the May 2019 issue of the FGN Savings Bond for 2-years tenor at 11.745% your return will be N420,000 + N49,329 = N469,329; for 3-years tenor at 12.745% your return will be N420,000 + N53,529 = N473,529. Also, don’t forget that the interest is paid on the coupon dates. That means your interest divided by the number of coupon dates.
pls if I buy at the rate 10k wat will b my returns
Hi Tamu, for 2-year FGN Savings Bond you will get N1,174.5 (11.745%) as interest for your N10,000. For 3-year FGN Savings Bond you will get N1,274.5 (12.745%) as interest for your N10,000.
