Federal Government Bonds

We provide access for long term investors seeking to invest in bonds issued by the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN).

Eurobonds

Clients with foreign currency assets enjoy the access we provide to corporate and sovereign Eurobonds issued by reputable institutions both within and outside Africa. We also facilitate access to hedged products for clients with local currency assets looking to create Eurobond exposures but seeking to mitigate unfavourable exchange rate volatility.

We offer access to Sub-National Bonds issued by State or Local Governments. Like FGN Bonds, these bonds are usually semi-annual coupon paying bonds and are backed by the State or Local Government issuing the bonds.

For clients seeking higher interest rates or yields than Government bonds, we offer blue-chip corporate bonds that are backed by the corporate entities issuing the bond.
