Is good to see more Nigerians trying to invest their money for future financial security. Now the only two less risky investment that most Nigerians tend to go for his either Fixed Deposit Investment or Treasury Bills Investment (T-bills). I have been involved in both investment multiple times but after carefully review of my returns and the risks involve (which is pretty NADA to be candid) I can state with all confidence that Fixed Deposit investment is the best between the two.
Now before I let the cat out of the bag, let me quickly add that this simple logic I am about to unveil is only viable for folks that want to invest at least ₦2 million and up and also for a full calendar year because if you are planning to invest less than the stated amount (₦2 million) the interest rate plus the number of days of investment in your portfolio will not add up. Now let's get started---
Treasury Bills Investment
As we all are aware that treasury bills investment is the least risky investment out there with moderate return and plus the attractive rates folks are getting on it lately, thus making it the number one option for most folks to invest in but does the returns on this investment really worth the hype?! I do not think so...
For example Mister A has ₦5 million to invest in T-bills for 365 days at Bank 1. They offered him 14.5% (for the sake of this argument lets round it up to 15%). At the end of 365 days (1 YEAR) Mister A will receives ₦750k back in return after 1 Year
Fixed Deposit Investment
Now if Mister A takes the same ₦5 million to Bank 1 and request to fixed the same amount for 90 days (with automatic roll over after 90 days and insist on the same fixed rate) which most banks will offer Mister A 10% or more (but most folks will not agree with me but for the sake of argument let say he was able to get 10% for 90 days). At the end of 90 days Mister A will receives ₦500k in return X 4 = ₦2million cool cash. A return of 40% compare to 15% of T-bills for the same number of days.
As we all can see the return on Fixed Deposit is by far the best investment option between the two. As for me T-bills does not really worth the hype. Yall free to do your investigation.

¬ OnlyTru¬ Dude so u want us to invest in fixed Deposit and u think the interest will be roll over? Did u forget that interest rate u earn for 90days is not the same with 365 days 1 Like |
| Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by angelo82: 6:46pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
The funniest thing is bank will invest FD principal amount in Treasury Bills............Pre-crisis era a lot of people fell for that but now everyone knows better and i don't need anyone to tell me what to do.......The good thing about Treasury Bills especially for Nigerians abroad is that you can fund all local expenses from the pre-paid interest without spending from your wallet......Its very good investment.......... coderXO:
Oga, I'm sure you miscalculated. No bank will have rolled you over 4 times for a 40% p.a on your N5m.

¬ OnlyTru¬ Mister u missed it, u jus quoted 90days for d fixed deposit while u used 365days for TBills, the tenor used is not same. If we av to use same tenor as that of TBILLS , then we will be looking at 500k int on d FD and u will still need to deduct WTAX on the interest . I av being investing in TBILLs for 5 years now and I can say affirmatively that TBILLS remains d best, the int rate is always higher than FD plus it is zero risk.  |

The customer service rep told me since I didn't specify upfront payment of interest, that they will have to pay at maturity. I think this is totally unacceptable. Its not my first time doing OTC transaction and I was made to look so stupid.

Ma can you please explain what you mean bu ZERO risk on treasury bills, do you mean to say Fixed deposits are risky and what is the minimal turnover for T-bills with the average interset percentages? |
| Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by fphumie(f): 1:04pm On Mar 11, 2015 |
[quote author=Icekeeng post=31516367]
Sir, T-bills are marketable debt instruments issued by the Federal Government. The Government is obliged to pay the holders of T-bills a fixed sum of money on the maturity date of the securities. When you invest in T-bills, you are lending your money to the Government in exchange for interest payments. The tenors are typically 91, 182 and 364 days
Nigeria's ratings indicate that it has a strong credit rating with a minimal probability of default on its local currency debt obligations. From the perspective of individual investors, this means that T bills are among the safest possible investments to hold, and the principal value of their investments is preserved if held to maturity. FD is near risk free cos the deposit is equally insured but in d case of bank's liquidity , I think the investor might lose some of the amount invested.
As per minimal turnover I think the expert in the house will answer this but I cannot say precisely wat d min turnover will b cos interest rate is not fixed though for now, rate seems to be going up.(maximum). |

I have been involved in both investment multiple times but after carefully review of my returns and the risks involve (which is pretty NADA to be candid) I can state with all confidence that Fixed Deposit investment is the best between the two.
Now before I let the cat out of the bag, let me quickly add that this simple logic I am about to unveil is only viable for folks that want to invest at least ₦2 million and up and also for a full calendar year because if you are planning to invest less than the stated amount (₦2 million) the interest rate plus the number of days of investment in your portfolio will not add up. Now let's get started---
Treasury Bills Investment
As we all are aware that treasury bills investment is the least risky investment out there with moderate return and plus the attractive rates folks are getting on it lately, thus making it the number one option for most folks to invest in but does the returns on this investment really worth the hype?! I do not think so...

Fixed Deposit Investment
Now if Mister A takes the same ₦5 million to Bank 1 and request to fixed the same amount for 90 days (with automatic roll over after 90 days and insist on the same fixed rate) which most banks will offer Mister A 10% or more (but most folks will not agree with me but for the sake of argument let say he was able to get 10% for 90 days). At the end of 90 days Mister A will receives ₦500k in return X 4 = ₦2million cool cash. A return of 40% compare to 15% of T-bills for the same number of days.
As we all can see the return on Fixed Deposit is by far the best investment option between the two. As for me T-bills does not really worth the hype. Yall free to do your investigation.
