How quickly can I access funds?
Government securities are highly liquid in Sri Lanka. Through First Capital, funds can typically be accessed within one to two working days by selling treasury bills or bonds in the secondary market, subject to market conditions.
How do I choose the right maturity?
Choosing the right maturity depends on your cash needs, risk comfort, and return expectations. Short maturities suit liquidity needs, while longer maturities offer higher yields. First Capital advisors help align treasury maturities with your financial goals and market conditions.
