Acting Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Mary Uduk says investment in the capital market does not require too much money.

She therefore urged investors to look into the capital market for future investments as various products abound that would suit their needs.

Uduk who spoke journalists in Lagos said the commission has stepped up efforts to encourage retail investors to invest in the capital market in a bid to create wealth, deepen the market and grow the nation’s economy.

According to her, “You don’t need to have so much money to be able to tap into the opportunities available in the capital market. For instance, with the government bond, the minimum investable amount is 10,000 naira and you can buy in subsequent amounts of 1,000 naira.

“We have Collective Investments Schemes (CIS), we have the stocks that you can buy through the stockbrokers and those you can invest in with as little as 5,000 naira. So you don’t necessarily have to have a lot of money to invest, all you need is to approach the stockbrokers. They can open an account for you and whatever you have you can pay into the account and give instructions in what kind of investments you want to make.

Uduk said it is important for people to understand the workings of the capital market and not have the misconception that they must have a lot of money before they can invest.

“We have to disabuse our minds of it. I think that is what is leading people into putting money into Ponzi schemes and lose their money. So all you need to do is to go to SEC website see the list of capital market operators and approach one of them to open an account” she said.

The Acting DG assured investors that the SEC will continue to play its role of providing a good playing ground for investors to ensure that they get the benefits of their investments.

“The SEC is very interested in investor protection and that is why we have rules that the players must obey and all these are channeled towards ensuring that our market is safe for investors.

“The smaller the investors the more he/she is protected. We don’t want any investor to go into the market and lose money, which will not be good for our market”.
