According to him, the portfolio offers the full benefits of diversification through a single transaction thereby reducing associated transaction cost and helping investors spread their risk.
“We will continue to encourage retail and institutional investment in this fund based on its potentials,” Obisan said.
Head, Trading Business Division, Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), Mr Jude Chiemeka, said ETFs have continued to make a global impact as effective tools for accessing the market, diversifying investments, and serving as an alternative investment solution for intermediaries to recommend to their clients.
He pointed out that given the position of the NSE as the leading stock exchange for listing and trading ETFs in West Africa, the Exchange will continue to lead innovation in the market as well as support the issuance of products and investment vehicles that meet the objectives of investors.
