Belgore also said of the Fund, “At Afrinvest, our clients’ needs are our foremost priority. In presenting this Fund to the public we are working to correct the notion that investing in securities is complicated and is the preserve of the elite. Rather, we want Nigerians to understand and attain the true financial freedom that comes from proper financial planning and smart investment decisions. Of course, we have also considered the need to ensure the security of the funds, and have partnered with Meristem Trustees Ltd and UBA Plc (Global Investor Services Division) as Trustee and Custodian, respectively.”
