Institutional Brokerage and Sales

Over the past few years, we have steadily and effectively developed our institutional brokerage services through in-depth research and profound market insight and established ourselves as a leading provider of institutional brokerage services in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa.

We provide world-class research, comprehensive trade execution in both equities and fixed income, and settlement services for our corporate and institutional clients both local and international.

At CSL, we provide our clients with world class sub-Saharan African specific research to aid their investment decisions, access to blocks of the most sought after stocks in the region as well as facilitation of real time access to the market providing intra-day color and execution updates.

Because we understand that each of our clients is unique, we work closely with them to develop customized strategies tailored to their needs. Our experienced team acts as a conduit between the traders, research team, settlement units and external custodians. We handle trade mandates and provide details on available volumes of various stocks in the market.

We assist in the setting up of custodian accounts and managing custodian relationships. We continue to be one of the major distribution channels for primary market issues. This is complemented through our association with FCMB Capital Markets, another member of the First City Group and one of the most diverse originators in Nigeria.
