Thank you so much this is the exact info and calculations I have been looking for in the wrong places. Keep it up
Please help me authenticate this info and calculations ” A #50,000 invested on a three years bond tenure in May 2019 at 12.745 percent would deliver #6,372.5 every three months till May 2022, bringing the total possible coupon payment to #76,470 excluding the bullet repayment of the invested #50,000 on the maturity date “. Thanks.
Hi Musa, if you invest N50,000 in an FGN Savings bond with a tenor of 3 years and an interest of 12.745%, your total accrued interest will be N6,372.5. To know the amount you get on coupon payments, divide the interest by the number of times for coupon payments. That means you get N1,593.125 for every coupon payment until maturity. FGN bonds are essentially for capital preservation.
