Three ways to hold capital with us. Choose by the horizon you have and the currency you need.
01
A short-term vehicle for capital you may need back at relatively short notice. Funds are allocated to money market instruments with the objective of preserving capital while earning more than a standard savings account.
Built for risk-averse investors. A minimum 90-day holding period applies.
Your capital is managed by our investment team to a written mandate, not left in a pooled account earning whatever the bank offers.
Funds are spread across multiple instruments and issuers, so no single counterparty failure determines your outcome.
The mandate prioritises the return of your principal over reaching for yield. Instruments are selected on credit quality first.
Money market instruments produce predictable income, which suits capital you have earmarked for a known future commitment.
02
A strategic fixed-income product for medium to long-term capital appreciation, investing in high-quality naira bonds issued by government and corporate borrowers.
Suited to investors who can commit the capital for the full tenor in exchange for a higher return than the money market offers.
Issuer selection and duration positioning are handled by our investment team, informed by our own published research.
Holdings span multiple issuers across government and corporate paper rather than concentrating in a single name.
High-quality issuers are selected on their capacity to meet obligations at maturity, not on headline coupon alone.
The longer commitment and higher minimum are what fund the improved return relative to the money market note.
03
A dollar-denominated note investing in US dollar fixed-income assets issued by the Nigerian government and established domestic companies.
For investors who want their return held in foreign currency, it offers a hedge against naira devaluation.
Dollar assets are selected and monitored by the same investment team and the same research process as our naira mandates.
Both principal and return are held in US dollars, so the value of your investment does not move with the naira.
At $10,000 the note opens dollar fixed income to investors who would not meet the minimums on most offshore alternatives.
Nigerian dollar-denominated paper typically yields above comparable developed-market instruments of similar tenor.
At a glance
All three are managed to a written mandate, with assets held at an independent custodian and statements issued on a fixed schedule.
