Stanbic IBTC Guaranteed Investment Fund

E-mail Print PDF

Introduced in 2007, this Fund is designed to protect your principal investment and still give you long-term growth. The principal amount invested is guaranteed against diminution in value provided the investment is held for a minimum of three months.

The Fund’s objectives are achieved by investing a minimum of 75% of the portfolio in fixed income securities including Federal Government Bonds, Money Market Securities and other approved by Nigeria’s Securities & Exchange Commission; and a maximum of 25% in equities of blue chip companies listed on The Nigerian Stock Exchange.

The Stanbic IBTC Guaranteed Investment Fund ("SIGIF") was launched in 2007 at a nominal value of N100.00 per unit. Although the primary objective of The Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation of its assets, the principal amount invested is also guaranteed against diminution in value provided the investment is held for a minimum of three months.

Like the other mutual funds under management, subscriptions are processed at the prevailing offer price on the relevant day and the fund is re-valued at the end of each working day to reflect any changes in the price of the underlying assets. This means that the value of investment held may change from day to day.
