I think I've learnt a lot from Caracta. I prefer a 30 day tenor FD to a 91 day tenor TB. 2 Likes |

jaybee3: Rate guide gives you the window rate. You just can't give a customer above those rates. Also, these rates depend on the principal and most importantly, the tenor (30, 60, 90, 180 or 365 days). The rates for banks vary. Sterling bank could be different from Fidelity, GTB, Zenith or Firstbank. |

OCTAVO: This is largely dependent on the principal. Which do you think makes the best mathematical/financial sense if accessibility of funds wasn't a factor, 5% FD or 9% Tbills on a principal of 500k You need to understand that you had only be able to unlock best FD rates if you have very large fund to invest 1 Like |

jaybee3: Lmao. Let me know the tenor. Told you that's important as well. What's the point of giving you a rate guide that could be different from what is obtainable at your bank? @octavo, thanks. Just weigh your options and be sure your bank is giving you a good rate. Then compare the two. Do the calculations yourself. Some 91 days treasury bills could be better than 30 days fixed deposits and vice versa. It all depends on the rate. It's your money. Weigh your options and don't rush. 2 Likes |

Caracta:Your head like sue as if the acceptance form doesn't include terms of investment. If you don't give instructions to terminate, your investment and accruing interest is automatically rolled over at the prevailing IR. |
Re: Fixed Deposits Or Treasury Bills, Which Is Better? by Caracta(f): 12:09pm On Jun 21, 2015 |
UjSizzle: That's what I'm saying. If I choose the terminate option on my acceptance or opening form and you roll over, that's a breach in contract. So it shouldn't be rolled over by default. I can also decide to roll over just the principal and get interests accrued at every maturity. Or roll over both and get nothing until termination. |

OCTAVO: A 30 day tenor is better, it allows for more flexibility in case you change your mind after a few months. But be sure to inform your bank to rollover both the capital and interest accrued 1 Like |

If it were d days one can get TB on 18percent n above I will say ok but these days of 9percent on TB hell no. With interests on FD coming monthly n if one can get 10percent pa n decides to do compound interest d total yield at d end of d year will surely beat d best interest on any TB.

I still don't get how FD can be better than Tbills if FD rates only becomes competitive if the investor have huge deposit to play with See the illustration below 1 Like 1 Share

@jaybee3, what's the 7% for? Then the last auction 10% figure, where is that obtainable? CBN? |

Re: Fixed Deposits Or Treasury Bills, Which Is Better? by Caracta(f): 6:16pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
jaybee3: You should try other banks with options as high as 10% on FD for 30 days, then compare with the last auction of treasury bills of 91 days of a bank as low as 9.5%. 7% is daylight robbery! |
Re: Fixed Deposits Or Treasury Bills, Which Is Better? by jaybee3(m): 6:22pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
Caracta: Do you know any bank that will offer 10% FD for <=1M principal? |
Re: Fixed Deposits Or Treasury Bills, Which Is Better? by Caracta(f): 6:36pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
jaybee3: Yes I do. Tenor is an important factor as well. |
Re: Fixed Deposits Or Treasury Bills, Which Is Better? by jaybee3(m): 6:56pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
Caracta: Name the bank na My calc was based on lowest tenor for either inv class. Obviously banks would add a lil extra for longer tenor which will most certainly be insignificant once the compound factor of the other kicks in |
Re: Fixed Deposits Or Treasury Bills, Which Is Better? by Caracta(f): 6:59pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
jaybee3: I don't need to name any bank. I already told you it all depends on your bargaining power and how you negotiate. The decision lies in the hands of the banker who must not exceed the rate guide. I can decide to give someone 10% and give another 6% under the same condition. It all depends on what I'm after. This is business. Lowest tenor for t.bills cannot be 10%. I've seen 8% and lower. |
Re: Fixed Deposits Or Treasury Bills, Which Is Better? by jaybee3(m): 7:04pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
Caracta:The link i provided for access bank had a range published meaning they are willing to be flexible. I get that but what i'm failing to grab is how a bank will offer rate higher than Tbills for their lowest denom tenor. The economics just doesn't make sense when it's evident that they will also have to use the deposior's cash to reinvest in the same risky asset class in order to get enough margin to satisfy both customer and shareholders The calc was a snapshot using the most recent published figures. A lower TBills will obviously translate to lower FD rate. I'm sure you know they are all being driven:determined by the same economic factors 2 Likes |

jaybee3: I know of First Bank Ikota main branch. I negotiated 10% for a principal <1m though the negotiated tenor is 60days. |
Re: Fixed Deposits Or Treasury Bills, Which Is Better? by Caracta(f): 8:51pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
whyniel: That's a good one. <1m. Now imagine 9% for 91 days on t.bills. I'm glad someone else has a first-hand experience. cc jaybee3 and Seun. |

Re: Fixed Deposits Or Treasury Bills, Which Is Better? by Caracta(f): 9:12pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
jaybee3: And I'm telling you 10% on 30 days is obtainable. Deduct all the interest and charges in this world, it would still be better than t.bills of 9-10% on 91 days. Primary t.bills in today's Nigeria is overrated IMO. Investors should learn to explore their options. Secondary t.bills is even of a better yield and advantage (if you are lucky). 1 Like |

Re: Fixed Deposits Or Treasury Bills, Which Is Better? by Desanta(m): 2:06pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
TBs are far better than FDs in Nigeria going by the present rates per annum. A TB of 10% for 91 days has an actual yield of 11.1 percent because the interest appears to be paid upfront. A FD for 3months at 10% has a true value of 9% because of the 10% withholding tax that will be collected from the interest. Even a non mathematician can easily figure it out. However, it all depends on the disposition of the investor at the end of the day. I practically live on my interest from TB and I invest my salary. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

If you want a lesser tenor like 30 days, fixed deposit is a good option. It's a quick fix and it's flexible. Come to Rosabon financial services limited yaba. Contact me 09052285801, 08138882950 |
