Both are interest bearing financial assets. However note this TB is government backed while FD is not TB is tax exempt while FD is not TB is issued at a discounted rate and redeemed at par while FD can be issued with interest paid back end or upfront. Both can be liquidated prematurely however at a cost. The minimum tenor for TB is 91 days and max of 365 while FD is usually monthly (30days) up to 365 days. Also there are some FD on call As per interest rates, up until now TB had higher rates than FD however rate is not the best criteria to distinguish between both as this is more of operational meaning rates can oscillate both ways for the two financial instruments. For those looking to build long term wealth. I advise you have a portfolio with varying asset classes to hedge for risk. Ie cash, FD/TD equity and other classes of assets they deem fit. Funny thing is people always avoid the equity market like it's a plague but know this in any economy there will always be a boom and bust. Oil prices will always go up and down same for dollar. This is what capitalism is all about. When the naira really down against the dollar I told people that this was the right time to buy naira assets but they refused and some converted their assets to dollars. Some even put money in al sorts of ponzi schemes and got their fingers burnt. Now for those that study the market well. Compare the prices of the following stocks in Jan 2017 and now Fidelity, Dangote sugar dangote cement stanbic Zenith fbn uba access dangote flour and ROI that a 1m investment will have made in 12months both in capital appreciation and dividend payments The bitter truth is only long term investors make money ask Warren buffet and study his investment philosophy. On the other hand Nigerian are always looking for the quick way out. 8 Likes 1 Share |

kingpole: I have done both... Land do take time to appreciate but it's the safest for me. Been into transport shaaa.. A cousin bought a truck (tipper) for 3.5m (2016), he traveled back abroad so I was looking after the teuck... The first driver messed the truck up cuz he was related to us ( wasn't doing account weekly which is 60k dry season 45k to 50k raining season). After some months I returned the truck home then started consultation. After all set and done, I took 400k and returned the truck better than it was when they bought it... Then I put it up for higher purchase... I told our priest( catholic) and he also made the announcement in church service.. It took small time shaaa but I finally got a serious man.. he made deposit of 500k before he took the truck and is returning 62500 weekly... sometimes he do return double of the money in a week so we just do check and balance... As I'm talking to you now, his conductor is begging secretly to couple a sound truck for him... That he's ready for my terms and conditions... You might not like the biz style but it's ok for me. Banks will tell yo they want to bid for the TB , that you should deposit money in an account wich you can't withdraw again, once they are done with the biding of what ever they are bidding the money dsiappears.. and u will be making peanuts as gain 4 Likes |

Sage7: No, FD’s interest can be received either upfront (at point of debit) or back end (after maturity) The interest varies. Sometimes, TB can b higher or lower depending on how well the govt wants to mop up money from the economy. TB doesn’t have a fixed tenor, it varies day by day. There’s 57 days, 105 days and more. While FD varies from 39 days to 180 days. The minimum investment amount on TB is 100k 1 Like |

Re: What Is The Difference Btw Treasury Bill And Fixed Deposit by deenee: 8:30am On Jan 07, 2018 |
northvietnam: Every business has risk and the risk should be equal to the return. TB is risk free and can still guarantee a yield of 30% yearly if the upfront interest is invested in another asset class. You are lucky to have gotten someone to manage your truck well for you and that don't mean another person will have the same luck. Transport business doesn't always work the way you have put it. I have invested in transport business twice first as a corper serving in the north ( got a water truck and leased it out to someone to be fetching water for corpers at a cost) and also a truck. The experiences were not too good but thankfully I got my capital out. Point I am making is that investment is a matter of opinion and risk appetite. My parents only do TB because it is risk free and they can sleep well at night knowing that their life savings is intact. The best is to give the pros and cons without bias and leave the decision to the person. 4 Likes |

Re: What Is The Difference Btw Treasury Bill And Fixed Deposit by manshoro: 8:38am On Jan 07, 2018 |
Treasury bill involves instant interest received with the principal held in CBN for 90 days. Fixed Deposit is for a period of One month plus with interest paid to the owner of the money who made the deposit. My father in 2012 made a deposit of N1,000,000 with an instant N24,000 as interest received (i.e with C.B.N). Also, he made a Fixed Deposit of N500,000 with GTBank for a period of 31days plus and received an interest of N2,400. With this I hope it will help.? thanks. 1 Like |
