Experts to Help Investors Understand Stock Market Investing Tuesday

By Dipo Olowookere

On Tuesday, December 15, 2020, an online workshop aimed to help investors understand the nitty-gritty of investing in the stock market would be held.

The event is organised by the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) in line with its commitment to improving financial literacy and enhancing retail investors’ participation in the Nigerian capital market.

During the programme, which will commence by 4pm, experts in the stock investment will teach participants the basics of the business and how they can grow their wealth from it.

In a statement, the NSE said the webinar themed Understanding Stock Market Investing is a free and open financial literacy and inclusion programme designed to educate existing and prospective investors on the opportunities and product offerings available in the capital market.

However, it stressed that interested participants would have to register ahead to attend the event via http://bit.ly/nse-stockmarketinvesting.

The exchange has always shown its clear determination to ensure that investors have a better understanding and appreciation of investment products offered in the Nigerian capital market in its efforts to become Africa’s preferred exchange hub.

Through frequent communications across its touchpoints and engagements such as this webinar, the NSE is working assiduously to ensure that investors understand the characteristics of various securities and how they are issued or traded to maximize their benefits.

“Investor participation is central to the growth and sustainable development of any economy.

“The exchange is, therefore, 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.

“We recognise the need to drive participation in our market, especially among millennials and 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,” the CEO of the bourse, Mr Oscar Onyema, said.
