Zedcrest Securities, the licensed stockbroking subsidiary of Zedcrest Group, has introduced stock trading on the Zedcrest Wealth App, giving investors seamless access to the Nigerian equities market through a single digital investment platform. The launch brings together the stockbroking expertise of Zedcrest Securities and the digital investment experience of the Zedcrest Wealth App, reflecting the Group’s integrated approach to delivering investment solutions across multiple asset classes.

Through the Stocks feature, investors can buy and sell shares of more than 140 companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), monitor portfolio performance, track market activity, and manage their equity investments within the Zedcrest Wealth App.

All trades on the Zedcrest Wealth App are facilitated by Zedcrest Securities, the licensed stockbroking subsidiary of Zedcrest Group. Following the acquisition and rebranding of RMB Nigeria Stockbrokers in 2024, the business has significantly strengthened the Group’s capital markets capabilities. By combining the expertise of Zedcrest Securities with the digital experience of the Zedcrest Wealth App, investors benefit from institutional-grade execution, seamless market access, and an integrated platform designed to support every stage of the investment journey.

To celebrate the launch, investors who open a CSCS account through the Zedcrest Wealth App and execute their first trade within the first three months will receive free stocks, providing an immediate opportunity to begin building their investment portfolio. During the same period, Zedcrest Securities will also waive brokerage fees on all trades executed through the app, making it even easier for new investors to take their first position in the market.

The Nigerian equities market presents opportunities across banking, consumer goods, industrials, telecommunications, agriculture, oil and gas, and other sectors. While access to the market has improved significantly in recent years, making informed investment decisions remains one of the biggest challenges facing investors. Successful investing requires more than the ability to place trades; it requires access to timely research, reliable market insights, and a clear understanding of the businesses behind listed securities.

To support this need, Zedcrest Securities provides market research, sector insights, and stock recommendations designed to help investors better understand the businesses behind listed securities. Within the Stocks feature, investors can move seamlessly from the live order book to detailed company information, including financial statements, key performance indicators, corporate disclosures, and research insights. This integrated experience enables investors to make decisions based on sound analysis rather than short-term market sentiment.

The Group’s commitment to improving financial literacy is reflected in the educational resources available through the Zedcrest Wealth App, including the Zedcrest Academy. As participation in the capital market continues to grow, investor education remains essential. A deeper understanding of financial statements, dividends, valuation, portfolio diversification, and market cycles equips investors to make informed decisions and navigate the market with greater confidence and discipline.

The Stocks module also recognises that investing is not a static activity. As portfolios grow, investors often require services that extend beyond buying and selling shares.

Many investors hold shares with multiple stockbrokers, making it difficult to maintain a consolidated view of their portfolios. To address this, Zedcrest Securities offers an Inter-Member Transfer (IMT) service through the Zedcrest Wealth App, allowing investors to seamlessly transfer and consolidate their holdings within the Zedcrest ecosystem.

Beyond the app experience, Zedcrest Securities offers a Dividend Recovery service for investors whose holdings may have become difficult to track over time. Shares acquired through public offers, inherited investments, or accounts spread across multiple platforms can make it difficult to maintain an accurate portfolio record. Through the stockbroking arm, investors can trace such holdings, recover outstanding dividends, and regularise their investment records.

Eligible investors can also access a Margin Lending Facility, allowing qualifying securities to serve as collateral for financing without the need to liquidate existing investments. This provides greater flexibility to respond quickly to attractive market opportunities while maintaining long-term investment positions.

Together, these services extend the module beyond trade execution, giving investors practical support for portfolio consolidation, asset recovery, and liquidity management as their needs change.

The Stocks module has been developed to serve as the gateway to that broader experience.

Whether an investor is making a first equity investment or actively managing an established portfolio, the module combines market access with the expertise of Zedcrest Securities to deliver a more comprehensive approach to investing. It brings together research, education, portfolio services, and professional stockbroking capabilities within a single platform.

As the Nigerian capital market continues to evolve, investors who are best positioned for long-term success will be those with access not only to opportunities but also to the tools and expertise required to act on them. The new Stocks module on the Zedcrest Wealth app has been built with that objective in mind.

The introduction of stock trading on the Zedcrest Wealth App represents more than the addition of another investment product. It reflects the strength of the Zedcrest Group ecosystem, bringing together the institutional capabilities of Zedcrest Securities with the digital investment experience of the Zedcrest Wealth App. By combining market access, research, investor education, portfolio services, and professional stockbroking within a single platform, the Group is making it easier for investors to participate in the capital markets with greater confidence and clarity.
