For the fourth year in a row, Zedcap Partners Limited (ZPL), a member of Zedcrest Group, has won the Best Brokerage Service award at the 2022 FMDQ Gold Award. Zedcap Partners bagged the same award category in 2019, 2020, and 2021.
The company, while reacting to this recognition, which cements its position as the leading and largest inter-dealer brokerage (IDB) firm in Nigeria, dedicated the award to its clients.
The firm said its clients have shown unflinching support, trust and loyalty to the organisation through its five-year journey of providing outstanding brokerage service in the fixed income, currencies and derivatives markets.
The Managing Director of Zedcap Partners, Mr Oluseyi Akinbi, said the award, which was won on Friday, November 11, at Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos, indicated that the company has achieved significant success since its inception, even though its five-year journey has been fraught with some challenges.
“This award means a lot to us. We are just five years but have achieved so much in an environment laced with many challenges to overcome,” he said.
Mr Akinbi, who thanked the organisers of the FMDQ Gold Awards, added that Zedcap Partners could not have attained its current position without the continued support of its key stakeholders, including the clients, employees, regulators and partners.
While receiving the award, the Assistant Vice President of Zedcap Partners, Mr Oluwatosin Ayanfalu, reiterated the company’s commitment to remain focused on providing a best-in-class trading experience for its clients across Africa.
“The continuous support and growth we have received over the years have given us the drive and platform to take on the next stage in evolution for us, which is expanding into other markets in Africa and being that bridge between the Nigerian capital markets and the continent”, he said.
The FMDQ Gold Award for Best Brokerage Service goes to the brokerage firm with the most satisfied clients, voted by Members of the FMDQ Securities Exchange as providing the most exemplary brokerage service.
