The NSE retail b​ond trading platform for FGN Bonds, State and Corporate & AMCON bonds aims to offer retail investors an efficient and transparent access to an on screen secondary market in NSE listed debt instruments. The introduction of this fixed income trading platform is in response to growing demand from retail investors for portfolio diversification from traditional equities.
We believe that the platform will increase the credibility of the Nigerian debt market and allow for improved price efficiency and transparent mechanism for gaining access to fixed income securities. Market Participants
