In Nigeria's capital market, timing is everything. Opportunities move quickly, and the ability to act decisively often determines whether an investor wins or loses. Zedcrest Securities is built for this reality, equipping investors with the tools, access, and speed they need to seize opportunities as they arise.
For many Nigerians, a major challenge is visibility. Shares acquired years ago, often through parents or guardians, are frequently fragmented across multiple accounts, with dividends left unclaimed. Through its Shares and Dividend Recovery service, Zedcrest Securities helps clients trace, consolidate, and properly document their holdings, recover outstanding dividends, and ensure all corporate actions are processed.
Beyond recovery services, the firm enables broader access to a wide range of equities in the local market, providing investors with more opportunities to build well-diversified portfolios and capture value across sectors. To support informed decision-making, Zedcrest Securities also offers expert Research and Advisory services, delivering market insights, stock recommendations, and sectoral analysis across Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, helping clients navigate the dynamics of a constantly shifting market.
At the core of its offering is speed. Zedcrest Securities’ Same-Day Margin Lending Facility allows eligible clients to access funds within the same day by leveraging their existing portfolios without liquidating their positions. This fundamentally changes how investors operate. Instead of missing opportunities due to liquidity constraints, investors can unlock capital swiftly and act when it matters most.
Designed for efficiency, the facility offers quick access to funds, streamlined processing, and the flexibility to take advantage of short-term opportunities without disrupting long-term investment strategies. In a market where timing directly impacts returns, this level of responsiveness is a clear advantage for clients.
Behind these capabilities is a business built on strong foundations. In 2024, Zedcrest acquired RMB Nigeria, Stockbrokers. The firm, a member of Rand Merchant Bank, the Corporate and Investment Banking arm of FirstRand Group, was subsequently rebranded as Zedcrest Securities, strengthening the Group’s stockbroking capabilities and expanding its portfolio of financial products and services.
In line with its strategic focus on deepening market capabilities, Zedcrest announced in March 2026 the appointment of Simbiat Bada as Managing Director of its Stockbroking business. With experience spanning trading, asset management, and business development, her leadership reflects a clear focus on disciplined execution and delivering optimal value to the firm’s clients.
