30 years of simplifying investments and creating wealth

Afrinvest (West Africa) Limited is a capital market holding company active in six principal areas: investment banking, securities trading, asset management, trust services, consultancy, and technology.
The Company was originally founded in 1995 as Securities Transaction and Trust Company -Limited (“SecTrust”) which grew to become a respected research, brokerage and asset management firm.
Over the years, SecTrust established a close relationship with London-based Afrinvest (UK) Limited, an investment banking firm regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority and following a business restructuring in 2005, SecTrust combined with the Nigerian based corporate finance business of Afrinvest (UK) Limited (Afrinvest Nigeria Limited) to create a stronger business entity with a more internationally recognized corporate identity, renamed as Afrinvest (West Africa) Limited
