Choose An Asset
Stocks
A stock, also known as a share or equity, is an investment that represents ownership in a company. It gives the investor a claim on a portion of the business’s assets and earnings, allowing them to benefit from the company’s financial performance and growth.
Stocks offer one of the most powerful ways to build long-term wealth.
By owning shares in publicly listed companies, investors can benefit from the growth and profitability of businesses across industries and economies.
Key Benefits of Investing in Stocks
Capital Growth
Stocks can rise in value over time, offering strong long-term returns.
Dividend Income
Many stocks pay dividends, adding regular income to capital gains.
Ownership & Influence
Shareholders own part of the company and can vote on key matters.
Liquidity
Publicly traded stocks can be easily bought or sold when needed.
Diversification
Investing across sectors and regions helps spread and manage risk.
Steps to get started with investing in stocks

Use our learning resources to build your confidence.
Step 3: Start Buying

ETFs
An ETF is a type of investment fund that holds a collection of assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities. ETFs trade on stock exchanges just like individual stocks, allowing you to buy and sell them throughout the trading day.
Diversification
By buying one ETF, you gain exposure to a wide range of assets, reducing the risk associated with investing in a single company.
Cost-Effective
ETFs generally have lower fees than mutual funds, making them an affordable way to build a diversified portfolio.
Liquidity and Flexibility
Like stocks, ETFs can be traded anytime during market hours, giving you the ability to react quickly to market movements.
Options
An option is a contract that gives you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset (like a stock) at a set price before a certain date. There are two main types: calls (buy options) and puts (sell options).
Risk Management
Options can be used to hedge against losses in your portfolio, offering downside protection while keeping upside potential.
Income Generation
You can earn income by selling options contracts and collecting premiums from buyers.
Leverage and Flexibility
Options allow you to control more stock with less capital, increasing potential returns with strategic use.
International Equities
Expand your horizons and diversify your portfolio by investing directly in international markets. Although Savest does not directly offer access to investing in international stocks, we assist clients who meet that requirement to set up their accounts directly with international brokerage firms.
What are international equities?
International equities are shares of companies that are listed on stock exchanges outside Nigeria. These companies give you exposure to different economies and industries worldwide.
Benefits of International Equities
