Information Memorandum
This Information Memorandum provides general information...
In Sri Lanka, treasury investments are among the safest investments, backed by the Government and regulated by the Central Bank. Through First Capital, investors access treasury bills and bonds with high transparency, low default risk, and strong market oversight.
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.
How do interest payments work?
Treasury bills are issued at a discount and pay returns at maturity, while treasury bonds pay fixed interest periodically. Through First Capital, interest is credited directly to your account, providing predictable income backed by government securities.
