What Are FGN Savings Bond?

Unlike traditional FGN Bonds, which often require higher entry amounts and target institutional investors, FGN Savings Bonds are accessible to all, with investments starting from only ₦5,000. The bonds typically have *tenors of 2 or 3 years and pay interest quarterly until maturity. (*Tenor: the length of time until your investment matures, for instance, 2 years, 3 years)

To illustrate how this works in practice, let’s look at a real-world example:
Mrs. Ade’s Investment Journey

Onboarding & Subscription

Mrs. Ade learns about the FGN Savings Bond via a Coronation Securities webinar.
She subscribes ₦1,000,000 for a 2‑year tenor at a 15% per annum coupon rate (interest rate).

Interest Accrual & Disbursement

Quarterly coupon = ₦1,000,000 × 15% ÷ 4 = ₦37,500
Over two years (8 quarters), total interest earned = ₦37,500 × 8 = ₦300,000

Maturity & Principal Return

At the end of 2 years, Mrs. Ade receives her original ₦1,000,000 back, in addition to ₦300,000 accrued interest.

How Mrs. Ade Benefits:

  1. Predictable Cash Flow: Mrs. Ade receives ₦37,500 every three months, helping her plan household expenses with confidence.
  2. Capital Preservation: The government guarantee ensures that her original ₦1,000,000 investment is completely safe and will be returned in full.
  3. Financial Growth: She earns a total of ₦300,000 in interest over two years, growing her wealth risk-free and building confidence to explore more investments.
