Alaska90:


ok thanks

But why Stanbic IBTC?.....I have the money with the FBN

And please do you have the time table for the FG bonds ( the date for the next )

Manwarrior55:


Why always stanbic IBTC what differentiates them from other regular banks

I’m asking this humbly as I have always heard many financial advisors advise me to open stanbic IBTC bank

unite4real:


They are a one stop bank. There is a high likelihood that the first person u meet at the customer service understands your investments request or enquiry without tossing you around.

On negotiation of bids, they are also at the fore front

Visit a licensed stockbroker who has been accredited to deal on savings bond. U need to have a cscs account.

Opzyyy:


Is Meristem ok?

unite4real:


You are buying the bond at premium. For a 55M 12.75% bond maturing in April 2023 having a yield of 8.44%,

You will be paying about 60.1M to get this bond at 55M. The difference of 5.1M is the price to pay following the low yield and time to maturity and consideration that a coupon was just paid last month and having just 6 coupons left

Your coupon payment will be on the 55M and that's about 3.5M every 6 months.

Your principal upon maturity is 55M. Next coupon is in October

emmanuelewumi:



N2.35 million every 6 months. Total of N4.7 million in a year

Akin3891:


Thanks bro

Akin3891:


Thanks a million, you've done well for breaking this math for me. How do you come about the 5m premium fee on the 50m investment? And do you think this (fbnquest) rate makes sense, or is there a chance to get a better rate with stanbic? Also, is it possible to get less than 3yrs tenure from stanbic? It's my first time with fgn bond, merci

I will tutor you a bit here

kristien4:
Okay thanks. These are my questions.
According to your previous post, is it possible to receive moneygram in dollars from Ghana?
Secondly.. the sender from Ghana, does that have to be you, or u have someonelse send it to you
Thirdly, do you have to come back to Nigeria after every transaction, aren't there bdc operators at the ghana border?

Philantropists:
Lock in the funds into an Investment as soon as possible, with the current devaluation, this amount has lost N10.5 million in value.

Hi. I've followed some few posts of yours on here. Please I need to discuss something important with you, business related. Please let me know how I can reach you.

Theconglomerate:
No bank is going to send your dollars in dom accounts out of Nigeria in times like this.
How it is done is this;
-You take your naira and buy any stable(independent of oil) country's currency that has a direct exchange rate with Nigeria naira.
-You go to the country physically with that cash in hand,go to their black market for fx and purchase dollar,Euro or pounds.
-Carry that fx physically and return back to Nigeria and sell in Nigeria black market too and make what you can make in the name of profit.
Things you should know;
-Your life and money is in danger because if authorities catch you,either they kill you and take your bread or they take the case up and you go to jail,which will make you still lose your bread because that is when you will find out that you have to pay import duty on currency before you can move it in.
Also if robbers catch you too,then it is sorry for you.
-Also,it is a volume business because you will find out that the difference of purchase price of the dollar between these countries(Nigeria and country of purchase) is very small,so you have to hold good money in order to be profitable.Mostly $100k and above.
Also it is a very fluctuating business as rates change everyday so you might want to pick a country you can go to and return the same day so as to make projected profit instantly.You might gain or lose from fluctuations.
-)It is a very shady business too as they can sell you counterfeit fx,so you have to know your dollars or trust your sources.

Look men,it is not a business for the faint hearted but if you have made up your mind,carry on...

The countries that you can do this business in,I will not say.
It is left for you to use your brain
There is NO BANK involved,it is an all cash,BLACK MARKET transaction.Let no one fool you!!!

Bro, you said no bank is involved but mine was.
You just need a banker that can be pushing more money for you because per account is $1k per 3 months so the banker knows how he will be getting accounts for doing the transactions for you.
On $10k, you will make atleast 500k profit but it's kind of stressful jare

No sir, you will receive it in ghana cedis but at their government exchange rate which is very good.
Sepending on what you fill on the form, if you want to be the beneficial and collect it, you can but if you have a trusted person their, he can withdraw it for you.
You will change the ghana cedis at the ghana bdc to dollars which is at a good rate and bring the dollars back to nigeria to convert to naira.
It's a bit stressful bro.
Not as easy as we are saying it on nairaland but if the money is a bit much, the stress is worth it.
Going regularly to accra is not easy.
See the attached pix for one i did then, just saw the receipt.

ahiboilandgas:
Bonds are kinda sold in units with each unit having a face value.
so if you buy a 15% APR 2023 FGN bond with 10m at its original price, you'd be having 100,000 units of the bond, and since the coupon is 15%, your annual interest would be 1.5m

Now when you buy at the secondary market, you often don't buy at the original unit price. You may get to buy at say N90 per unit, which implies that you'd only be paying 9m to get thesame 100,000 units.

But at the end of the year, both you who bought at 9m and the other person that bought at 10m, you'd each get 1.5m as interest, because you hold the same number of units. But while his own yield is 15%(1.5m on 10m input), yours is 16.67%(1.5m on 9m input)

So coupon rate indicates the rate at which interest is paid on a bond based on its face value, while yield indicates the actual rate of returns to an investor.

The coupon rate is always indicated in the name of most bonds, and it doesn't change throughout the lifetime of the bond.

Only changes in purchase prices bring about changes in yields to bond investors.

You send about 215k naira for 2,156 cedis. That’s 2156 cedis is about $370 aprox 162k in naira, there is about 52k loss?? Where’s the gain ??
