In less than two years after its launch, the FBN Money Mar¬ket Fund now has over N20 billion in as¬sets under management (AUM).
The Fund, managed by FBN Capital Asset Management, is an open ended mutual fund that invests in a broad range of money market securi¬ties such as Treasury Bills and Commercial Papers, and aims to offer a high level of security coupled with a competitive yield.
Based on the figure reported as at March6, 2014, the Fund is currently yielding 11.69percent, which is much higher returns than customers would receive in a regular sav¬ings account. The Fund is also rated Aa (f) by Agusto and Co because it has minimal to low risk of investment loss due to low net asset val¬ue volatility.

He added: “Invest¬ing in the fund is easy and open to everyone. Interested individuals can visit any First Bank branch nationwide or visit FBN Capital Asset Management at their of¬fices located in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt to subscribe.”
