From Investing in the Dangote IPO to Building a Global Portfolio

​From Investing in the Dangote IPO to Building a Global Portfolio

​For many Nigerians, the Dangote Refinery IPO was their first time buying shares. Some people opened an investment account for the first time. Others applied for the minimum 10 shares just to be part of it. Many more watched from the sidelines and kept asking, “Should I?”

​Whichever group you’re in, the next question is the same: what comes after one stock?

​A single IPO is a good start, but it isn’t a portfolio. This free webinar picks up from there. We’ll walk through what happens once an IPO closes, how to think about the shares you hold, and how to build a portfolio that goes beyond one company, one market and one currency.

​What You'll Learn

• ​Looking past the NGX. How U.S. stocks fit alongside Nigerian ones, what each market offers, and how they differ on dividends, trading hours and currency.

• ​Thinking in naira and dollars. How the exchange rate affects what you actually earn when you invest across both markets.

• ​Building your first mix. A simple way to decide how much goes where, based on your goals, timeline and comfort with risk.

• ​Mistakes to avoid. Investing because of hype, panic-selling on the first red day, and treating one IPO as your whole strategy.

• ​Live Q&A. Bring your questions about IPOs, NGX stocks, U.S. stocks or getting started.
