THE QUESTION

If I invest, say 1 million in T bills for 365 days at
say 18% and I terminate after 60 days, what's
likely to be my penalty?

My dear don't mind that boi.... some people just don't know how to express themselves in public. If he reads about 5threads back he would find the answer. But no,he wants to be spoon fed.

Oga stop basking in empty euphoria. The answer isn't here. I wager you don't know either and wouldn't bother too because of incuriosity. I stated that nobody here knew and wondered why you took it personally and felt emasculated.

It depends, do you have N50M to bid in the primary market? if not go with bank rate.

Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Olarewajub: 2:20pm On Sep 18, 2017

I was informed at First Bank today that there is no auction for this week

What I asked was a possible rate for this week's primary market.

Fidelity Bank combines both primary and secondary using same primary rate to sell to their customers.

Please can someone knowledgeable advise on a possible rate for Thursday primary market.

You guys should advise me on what to do.
The treasury bill officer asked where i got the info that there is going to be an auction on Thursday. I told him CBN website.
He told me that there won't be an auction this Thursday because its done bi-weekly..Nevertheless he advised i submit my application ; which I intend to do tomorrow

Please am safe with this option or should I consult another branch ?

They have said it series of time here that not all bank staff are knowledgeable on TB issues. Visit another branch, ask for the officer in charge of TB not anybody in the customer service dept. If u live in Lagos go to the Island branch they are more knowledgeable. Though I use Stanbic but not even in Island but I think they have competent staff that are very good and knowledge wise on TB

Print the TB calendar that was attached here and go and show it to the person. It was last week that there was uncertainty because there was no calendar. The calendar is out now. It is not compulsory that TB is done from your branch. Go to another branch to cross check.

Hello everyone. I terminated my TB with Stanbic today. I did 1million TB in April at the rare of 18.54 percent for 364 days but decided to terminate it today owing to exigency. I wrote a letter indicating that I wanted to terminate. I attached my hard copy of evidence of investment which I got from my bank. I took both the hard copy and my letter to the bank. I just got an alert of N8899920.55 with another debit of 300 naira as transfer fee. Obviously I only lost part of my interest not my capital owing to the fact that the discount value was initially N815,107.95.
For those asking questing about TB termination I hope this allays your fear.
One love.

Same thing happened with me as I called on Friday and I had to emphasise to the person in charge that till will be auction this week.He texted me this morning confirming there will be another auction this week.

Seems the person you talked to hasn't checked the calender yet as he assumes its the usual Bi weekly schedule.Be sure to have your form in before 12noon(2pm for zenith in my case)as it is the cut off time to avoid missing out

From my TB liquidation knowledge, I imagine the reason no one has answered is that different banks and discount houses treat TB liquidations differently. Some quote to repurchase your TB using current market discount rates which may eat into your principal (if rates have risen) and others maintain your purchase rate and apply a penalty rate e.g. 1 or 1.5% of the nominal value over the remaining TTM which is applied to the interest you would have earned over the period you actually held it for (not the initial purchase duration) with the balance paid to you. The shorter the period held for the greater the chances that it will eat into your principal and vice-versa. This is the reason, why most people hold to maturity and if not possible, hold for more that 75% of the initial purchase duration. It is only in an emergency that TBs are liquidated or perhaps one wishes to take advantage of some other opportunity that will cover any capital or interest loss.

As many have said, approach the institution you used for the purchase and ask them how they treat TB liquidations and any charges that apply. Also ask specifically what you will receive if you liquidated e.g. today. This will enable you know whether you will receive your principal intact or not. Their response, I imagine will guide your next steps. Perhaps you would be so good as to share your findings with the house.

But to specifically answer your N1m example held for 60 days that was initially bought for 364 days; Since discount rates have not moved much over the last 60 days, I imagine you will only lose as a penalty about 50% of the interest you would have earned over the 60 days. Will give example figures below using a penalty of 1.5%. Hope it helps.
