Institutional investors from the United States of America under the Institutional Investor Network have expressed interest in allocating their capital and exploring more direct investment opportunities in the Nigerian capital market.

This was the subject of discussion at an engagement between Nigerian Exchange Limited and a delegation from the U.S. facilitated by Chapel Hill Denham.

Senior Investment Advisor, Prosper Africa, Cameron Khowsroshahi, who led the US delegation to Nigeria emphasised the U.S. institutional investors’ readiness to work with Nigerian institutional investors including pension funds to explore more avenues to invest in the Nigerian capital market.
