Parthian Securities to hold investment clinic on ETFs in Nigeria

Parthian Securities Limited says it is set to host the investing public to a virtual Investment Clinic themed, “Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): What they are and how to access them in Nigeria” on Thursday, March 31, 2022, at 2:30 pm WAT.

This comes as demands for cost-effective, low-risk, diversified, and income-generating investment instruments continue to grow among investors owing to economic uncertainties, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have become one of the viable investment options for investors.

The clinic, it said, is necessitated by the fact that this aspect of the capital markets is less understood by the public, with questions like ‘What are ETFs, how can an investor benefit from this instrument and how can they be accessed?’ often asked.

In view of this, the session will offer investors free insights and analysis on the Nigerian Equity Market with a focus on ETFs as Strategists at Parthian Securities Limited sit with one of the major players in the ETFs space in Nigeria, Vetiva Fund Managers Limited to give in-depth answers to these questions and more.

This virtual investment clinic is the second edition of Parthian Securities’ Bears & Bulls Series, an initiative that empowers people looking to invest in the equities market with the vital knowledge and resources to help them ace their investment goals and make valuable gains.

According to Ahmed Olaitan Banu, Parthian Securities’ Chief Strategist, and host of the event, “I will recommend that investors—particularly young players who are new to the capital market and are looking to grow wealth through ETFs—take advantage of this insightful session. On our part as an organisation, we will continue to keep to our commitment to link every Nigerian to their preferred investment as we offer this valuable advisory to the public for free.” Click here to register and attend this free investment clinic.
