    According to it, the Nigerian equity investors’ return beats inflation by 37.47 per cent.

    It stated, “Recall that the Nigerian equity market was named the best-performing stock market in 2020, with over 50 per cent gain, according to a report by Bloomberg.

    “With earnings season now upon us, investors have begun to enjoy returns beyond capital gains, by way of dividend payments which some companies have already announced.

    “Capital market players also continue to look forward to the Exchange’s activities with regards to galvanising participation through its innovative products and services, strong investments in technology and information dissemination.”
