Our Global Markets, Trading, and Brokerage division is the Group’s multi-currency execution and liquidity hub, connecting clients to fixed income securities, listed and OTC equity markets, exchange-traded structures, and high-touch brokerage coverage backed by real-time market intelligence.
Asset and Liability Management (ALM) sits alongside trading, monitoring liquidity and capital deployment across the Group. Through a deep network of institutional counterparties, we deliver pricing, flow colour, and execution quality—even when markets gap or volatility spikes.
Government Securities (Bond and Treasury Bills)
We facilitate access to Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) bonds and Treasury Bills and other eligible government instruments where permitted—with emphasis on transparency of pricing, settlement discipline, and regulatory compliance. Bonds and Treasury Bills remain core building blocks for institutional cash and duration; our process integrates auction calendars, secondary-market liquidity, and duration management so treasuries and funds can deploy naira and hard-currency government risk with clarity.
We support end-to-end workflow—from indication and order placement through settlement and corporate actions—with clear communication around yields, day-count conventions, and roll schedules. Where international exposure is accessed through permitted channels, we align execution with custodial rails and investment-policy constraints, ensuring every trade is deliberate, sized, and documented.
Equities (Global and Local)
Our equities capability spans Nigerian listed names and selective global access routes, executed with an institutional mindset: blocks where appropriate, algos where they add value, and human judgment when markets are dislocated. Research touchpoints and corporate-action calendars are shared proactively so clients are never passive recipients of risk.
We size participation to liquidity, free float, and mandate limits—protecting both performance and reputation in crowded or thin names.
ETFs (Derivatives and Commodities)
Where client mandates and regulations permit, we facilitate exposure through ETFs and related exchange-traded structures that embed derivatives or commodities linkage—always preceded by suitability, risk disclosure, and a clear view of tracking error, roll yield, and collateral mechanics.
These tools can express tactical views, hedge underlying exposures, or improve portfolio implementation efficiency; we do not treat them as retail novelty but as precision instruments with defined roles in the portfolio.
OTC Market
The OTC channel is where size, discretion, and counterparty trust matter most. We intermediate negotiated trades and illiquid blocks subject to policy, documentation, and best-execution standards appropriate to the instrument.
Price discovery, confidentiality, and settlement certainty are non-negotiable—particularly for institutions that cannot afford operational surprises after the trade.
