on the impact of interest rate on portfolio management in Nigeria. Specifically
the study analyzed the impact of interest rate on both long term and short term
portfolio investments in Nigeria using secondary data sourced from Central bank
of Nigeria statistics bulletin and National bureau of statistics for the
periods covering 1985 to 2014. The study employed the techniques of
co-integration and error correction model, it was discovered that on the long
run interest rate specifically prime lending rate significantly influenced
portfolio management both on long and short term basis and that total savings
exert significant positive impact on the portfolio investment both on long and
short term basis. Hence the study recommended that monetary authorities should
ensure that the nexus between interest rate and portfolio management is taken
into consideration in the process of policy formulations.
