Nigerian Stock Exchange has reiterated its commitment to redefining and improving investors’ overall experience in the capital market through deployment of technologies that ensure the market remains modern, convenient and secure.
Speakers at the inaugural Retail Investors’ Webinar hosted by the NSE, in collaboration with Nigerian International Securities Limited, emphasised the importance of technologies in the fast emerging ‘new normal’ economy.
NSE’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Oscar Onyema, noted that investor participation is central to the growth and sustainable development of any economy.
He said the Exchange is committed to facilitating conversations that will expound on the retail investment opportunities available in the capital market and the channels through which they can be accessed.
According to him, NSE’s determination to develop the market and strengthen investor confidence has birthed a number of technology driven solutions that allow investors to conveniently trade electronically in an increasing array of product offerings that include equities, bonds, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and other collective investment schemes.
“We will, therefore, continue to take advantage of the vast opportunities to equip existing and potential investors with the necessary skills to effectively manage and grow the financial resources at their disposal,” Onyema said.
Managing Director, Nigerian International Securities Limited, Mr. Laolu Martins, pointed out that the NSE has pioneered far-reaching innovations within the capital market while positively driving market integrity and boosting both investor confidence and market participation.
He highlighted the efforts by the NISL to create wealth for investors through an appropriate mix of securities using well spelt out market research to help investors meet their financial objectives.
