True Legal Ownership
Your name is on the share register. This is legal ownership of shares in a specific company, not a contractual claim on an app balance.
When you buy shares through Shares Saver, they are registered directly in your own name through regulated Nigerian stockbrokers — not pooled in a fund, not sitting as a balance inside an app.
The key difference is whose name appears on the share register.
Select from the companies available on the Shares Saver platform. These are Nigerian companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX).
Your purchase request is relayed to one of our regulated stockbroker partners, who are licensed to execute trades on the Nigerian Exchange.
The broker buys shares at market price. The transaction is subject to all standard NGX exchange controls and broker regulations.
Following settlement, the shares are registered directly in your legal name with the relevant registrar — not in a collective pool and not under any nominee name.
Your shareholding is recorded and accessible through your Shares Saver account and directly with the relevant broker and registrar.
Your name is on the share register. This is legal ownership of shares in a specific company, not a contractual claim on an app balance.
As a registered shareholder you are entitled to dividends declared by the company, paid according to your registered holding.
Because your shares are registered with the broker and registrar in your name, they cannot simply disappear if a digital platform shuts down.
Direct ownership is a proven foundation for building long-term wealth through compound growth, dividends, and share price appreciation.
Direct share ownership means the shares you buy are registered in your own legal name on the share register, not held in a collective fund or on your behalf by a nominee company.
In a fund or ETF you own units in a pool of assets, not the underlying shares themselves. With direct share ownership you hold actual shares in specific companies, registered in your name.
Shares Saver coordinates your purchases through regulated stockbroker partners who execute trades on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX). The resulting shares are registered directly in your name with the appropriate registrar.
