Lagos (INVESTADVOCATE)-The Nigerian stock exchange (NSE) has announced that it will on Wednesday (tomorrow) hold a retail investors clinic for shareholders association.

The NSE says the theme of the clinic is “Protecting the Nigerian Capital Market Investor: Shareholders’ Engagement”.

The clinic will have experienced facilitators to moderate discussion on fundamentals for investing in the capital market, as well as on-going reform initiatives that primarily focuses on investor protection.

On 22 January 2014, Nigeria’s exchange received the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) approval of the Investor Protection Fund (IPF) rules.

The NSE had said the approval was a welcome development which will enable the board of trustees of the IPF to carry out the duties for which the Fund was established, in line with the Investment and Securities Act 2007 and the approved Rules.

Earlier in 2013, the new board of Nigeria’s SEC had assured stakeholders in the Nigerian capital market (NCM) of protection of investments.
