The strongest protection is ownership
Shares Saver operates inside Nigeria’s capital-markets framework. Every purchase is executed by an SEC-licensed stockbroker, traded on the NGX and cleared through the CSCS.
The registrar records you as the holder — not a Shares Saver nominee account and not a pooled fund.
We are not a stockbroker. Every purchase is placed on the NGX by an SEC-licensed broker partner.
Contributions sit in a client account until they buy shares. They are never working capital.
Apex capital markets regulator. The SEC is the apex regulatory body for Nigeria's capital markets. It licenses stockbrokers, investment advisers, registrars, and other market operators. All stockbroker partners used by Shares Saver hold SEC licences. The SEC's mandate includes investor protection, market integrity, and market development.
All broker partners used by Shares Saver are SEC-licensed dealing members.
Market operator and dealing member regulator. The Nigerian Exchange is a licensed exchange that operates the market where NGX-listed shares are bought and sold. The NGX regulates its dealing members — the stockbrokers who execute trades — and enforces conduct rules. Companies listed on the NGX must meet ongoing disclosure and governance requirements.
All share trades executed on behalf of Shares Saver investors are transacted on the NGX through licensed dealing members.
Central depository and clearing house. CSCS is the licensed central depository for all Nigerian capital market securities. It maintains the electronic records of every NGX shareholding. CSCS clears and settles all NGX trades under its T+1 settlement cycle. Your share ownership is recorded here in your legal name under your CHN.
Your shares are registered in your CSCS account in your own name — independently of Shares Saver.
