Investors in Africa can now diversify their asset holding using a platform that offers them exceptional value.
Through the platform, Africans can by shares in the US stock market at a flat cost of $20. Okunubi said the platform does not charge investors any upfront percentage as currently being done by local brokers an action that he said “drags down returns at the outset”.
He added that he created the platform with the goal of giving “Africans equal access to tools that can grow and protect their wealth.”
Investors make investments in US dollars and the investments are protected from the inflation in their local home markets.
He said: “We provide our users with 3 investment options that can work for investors of all experience levels so you don’t need to be well versed in stock market terms or concepts to grow your wealth.”
Afriq-Invest allow you to invest in Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon so you don’t miss out on the growth in the US’ booms.
“Alternatively, clients can buy stocks of companies that are doing business in Africa that they are more familiar with like Coca-Cola, Exxon and BHP Billiton; companies they know about and maybe even do business with or work for but that they couldn’t invest in before.
“Finally, we have worked hard to create a clean User Interface and have simplified the design on the site to make it easy to use while providing great research tools – all on the site.”
