What Are FGN Savings Bond?
The FGN Savings Bond is essentially the Nigerian government borrowing money from you – and paying you back with interest. It’s issued by the Debt Management Office (DMO) and backed by the full faith of the Federal Government, making it risk-free. You receive interest every three months, and your original investment is returned when it matures.
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:
- Predictable Cash Flow: Mrs. Ade receives ₦37,500 every three months, helping her plan household expenses with confidence.
- Capital Preservation: The government guarantee ensures that her original ₦1,000,000 investment is completely safe and will be returned in full.
