WHERE TO INVEST IN AS A NIGERIAN IN THE SECOND HALF OF 2025 (Part 1)
The last 6 months was pretty fast (in my opinion) and the investment landscape was really rewarding depending on what/where you invested in.
As an Investment Research Analyst, I spend everyday tracking various forms of investments especially in the financial markets.
As we go through July and the second half of 2025, here are credible and sustainable investment options you can put your money in and get good returns on your investments...
===
First, invest in yourself
Go for financial education, learn about money
Without this, you'll make unnecessary mistakes in whatever you invest in
Once you have foundational knowledge about money and investment, you can consider the following asset classes to invest in...
===
* BUSINESS - If you're an Entrepreneur, invest more in your business and grow it.
* 🇺🇸 STOCK MARKET - Despite the trade tariff and US-Iran fiasco in the first half of the year, 🇺🇸 stocks have done beautifully well and that's where you should consider investing your money in.
The S&P 500 has returned 5.9% while the NASDAQ has done 7.4%.
In terms of individual stocks, ROBINHOOD (147.8 and PALANTIR (72.8%) have been amongst the best performing 🇺🇸 stocks so far this year.
===
* 🇳🇬 STOCK MARKET - If in 2025, you still think investing in 🇳🇬 stocks is rubbish, well to each his own. But I'm here to tell you that, 🇳🇬 stocks have done amazingly well in the last 3-5 years and it gets better.
So far this year, the NGX has done 16.6% even outperforming most stock markets globally.
In terms of individual stocks, BETA GLASS (414.6%) and PRESCO (168.4%) are amongst the best performing 🇳🇬 stocks so far this year
