  3. Invest for Your Child

Long-term investing goal

Invest monthly for your child's future

Start a monthly Nigerian share investment plan for your child. Shares registered directly in their name on the NGX — growing steadily for their future through regulated broker execution.

How It Works

Why start investing for your child early

The earlier you start, the longer your child's portfolio has to grow. Time is the most powerful factor in long-term wealth building.

Compounding over time

A monthly investment of ₦5,000 over 15 years grows significantly — not just from contributions, but from dividends reinvested and share price appreciation. The longer the horizon, the greater the compounding effect.

Shares in their name

Through Shares Saver, shares are registered in your child's legal name at CSCS level. They become a genuine registered shareholder — not just a balance on a platform.

Dividend income from an early age

As a registered shareholder, your child is entitled to dividends declared by NGX-listed companies in their portfolio. These can be reinvested or saved for the future.

How to get started

  1. 1

    Create an account

    Set up a Shares Saver account with your details and complete identity verification.

  2. 2

    Choose companies

    Browse NGX-listed companies and choose one or more to invest in for your child's long-term portfolio.

  3. 3

    Set a monthly plan

    Set a monthly savings amount. Even a small regular contribution compounds meaningfully over 10–15 years.

  4. 4

    Shares registered in their name

    Regulated broker partners purchase and register the shares in your child's name. They become a registered NGX shareholder.
