Zedcrest Investment Managers, a Nigeria-based assets management company, has launched a self-service wealth management platform, known as Zimvest, to provide seamless investment options for Nigerian citizens. It is reported that the platform will allow users to invest their money into a range of fixed-income backed portfolio without any complication.
The Group Managing Director of Zedcrest, Adedayo Amzat, told the media, “The Zimvest platform was built with the user in mind, it provides artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools to analyse a client’s investment personality, risk tolerance, investment horizon and net worth, while ensuring that individual or corporate users’ are served the right investment products to suitably meet their financial goals. It is glaring that our current reality is a time of discouraging rates being offered on traditional investing options. The ludicrous interest rate offered on savings deposits (1.25 percent p.a.) and increased concern of the Naira’s ability to hold on to value makes investing tiring.”
Zedcrest Group will provide its consummate expertise to leverage the new platform. The company was established in 2013 as a securities trading firm with a specific focus on fixed income trading. According to the company, it plans to float the best possible investment option for foreign investors, asset managers, institutions and pension funds.
Zedcrest Group aims to become one of the premium asset management company in Africa, paving the way for consumers to grow wealth by providing the lowest in market rates and security on their investments.
