You’re not doing anything “wrong”—you’re just using a platform that isn’t structured the way you expect.

Here’s the key clarification:

Afrinvest (Afrinvestor 2.0) is primarily a brokerage/distribution platform, not a continuous marketplace for all fixed-income products. That’s why you keep seeing “Not Available.”

Why you’re seeing “Not Available”

FGN Bonds & Commercial Papers are not always open
They’re issued in windows (auctions/offers), not available daily like stocks.

Once the offer period closes, they disappear or show as unavailable.

Minimums can also be high, limiting access for retail investors.

What about Money Market Funds (MMFs)?

This is where the confusion is:

MMFs are NOT the same as FGN bonds or commercial papers

MMFs are managed funds you subscribe to anytime (usually daily liquidity)

If you don’t see MMFs clearly listed, it means:

Either the platform doesn’t prioritize them

Or they’re tucked under a different section (like “Mutual Funds”)

Important: Afrinvestor 2.0 is not the best for MMFs

It can offer them occasionally, but it’s not optimized for easy, consistent MMF investing, especially compared to other Nigerian platforms.

Better platforms for Money Market Funds in Nigeria

If your goal is easy access, steady returns, and liquidity, these are more suitable:

ARM Investment Managers (ARM MMF)
Very reliable, widely used, strong track record.

Stanbic IBTC Asset Management
Offers one of the most popular MMFs in Nigeria.

Meristem Wealth Management
Good platform usability and access to funds.

Cowrywise
Beginner-friendly, easy MMF access, low entry barrier.

PiggyVest
Offers MMF-like products (via partners), very simple to use.

What I recommend you do

1. Decide your goal first

Short-term parking of cash → MMF is perfect

Higher yield, longer term → bonds

2. Use the right platform for the right product

MMF → Cowrywise / ARM / Stanbic

Bonds / CP → Afrinvestor is fine (but only during offer periods)

3. Don’t rely on Afrinvestor for “always available” investments It’s event-driven, not continuous.

Simple takeaway

Afrinvestor 2.0 is working correctly

The issue is expectation vs how the market works

For Money Market Funds, switch to a platform built for daily access and ease
