Hi Everybody,

For those who want to invest in Nigeria stock market a good stockbroker is of paramount importance. A bad stockbroker could frustrate and left you disillusion. For a successful investment you must get your broker right.

The idea of the trend is for everybody to rate their brokers and bring their activities to the limelight. Only client are allow to rate their brokers, staff are not allowed, this is to give an unbiased and fair assessment. something similar is ongoing is some other forum, but I believe is time the biggest forum , nairaland , have a say.

After every three different client rating, I will mail the posting to the broker concern and ask for their response. All replies from the brokers would be posted on the forum. I would also invite the broker firm to the forum to take up issues with their client concern.

Please try to be fair in your rating.

Rating brokers in a public forum like this would help toward the development of the Nigeria stock exchange. Some stock broking firm might take heed and improve their services , others with good services would strive to maintain and improve. It would also give the investing public a good idea about a particular broker.

the rating figure would be between 0 and 5. brokers should be rated under the following category:

DURATION
COMMUNICATION
SPEED OF EXECUTION
CUSTOMER SERVICE
ON-LINE SERVICE
ACCURACY
RECOMMENDATION

hi,
the first stockbroking firm l would rate is cashcraft. l have been with them for the past 2 years through a friend recommendation. they have a good web presence with tonnes of information comparable. their service is nest to zero. they are probably one of the worst brokers in Nigeria. only in Nigeria can a broker firm like cashcraft exist, in a developed economy they would either have been clamp dawn by the regulatory authority or forced out of business through client litigation.

this is my rating:

DURATION - 2yrs
COMMUNICATION - 1/5
SPEED OF EXECUTION - 0/5
CUSTOMER SERVICE - 0/5
ON-LINE SERVICE - 3/5
ACCURACY - 1/5
RECOMMENDATION- pls avoid them

bilymuse

Dear Billy,

Kindly review the above list.


I have it on good rrecords that Prudential Securities Limited ahs been cleared off the above list by SEC.

Pls do kindly update appropriately.

Thanks

Cashcraft has been my stockbroker for 6yrs now, I rate them as one of the best stockbroker in Nigeria. You see all your transactions no hidden agenda, and the have a very good network, branches are almost in all the 36 states capital. For this kudos to them.

Please most of the stockbroker have gone down the drain during this meltdown period.

We shareholder pray it will soon be over
