For years, the Nigerian stock market felt like an exclusive club, accessible only to financial experts and those with significant capital. That narrative is changing. With i-invest, anyone with a smartphone can start investing in Nigerian stocks from as little as N100.
Why Stocks Should Be Part of Your Wealth Journey
Owning shares means you own a piece of a company, which provides two primary ways to grow your wealth. You can earn capital gains by selling your shares for a higher price than you paid, or you can receive dividends, which are payouts distributed from the company’s profits to its shareholders.
This makes investing in stocks one of the most accessible and effective ways to put your money to work, allowing it to generate potential returns rather than sitting idle.
