Earning competitive rates on your USD currency

With the prevailing economic challenges in Nigeria, financial investors (including money market participants) continue to search for ways to earn favourable returns on their investment portfolios.

Investors with USD deposits are increasingly seeking opportunities to maximise their foreign currency holdings, outside of what is offered with the standard bank account.  The United Capital Nigerian Eurobond Fund offers investors just that.
