Our Offering
We offer the following fixed income securities, structured notes and interest rate derivatives, with a primary focus on emerging markets:
- Government bonds: Government bonds offer relatively low risk compared to equities, as interest will be repaid provided the relevant governments do not default on their bonds.
- Corporate bonds: These have higher growth potential than government bonds and are less vulnerable to inflation and interest rate increases.
- Structured notes: These provide interest rate, foreign exchange, credit and equity enhanced structures.
- Vanilla and structured interest rate swaps: These customised contracts are traded in the market between private parties.
- Cross-currency interest rate swaps: Navigate the Nigerian market through currency and interest rate swaps that bring together two parties with advantages in different markets.
- Options: Including caps, floors, collars, swaps and exotics, options allow you to take advantage of market volatility.
- Structured derivatives: These products help to mitigate interest rate, currency, credit, equity and commodities risks.
With our comprehensive range of interest rate products and services, we can meet your specific risk management and investment requirements.
