Rise Vest Investment App Review: Dollar investments in Nigeria
Rise Vest is a dollar investment app that allows Nigerians to save and invest directly in dollar denominated assets including US real estate, stocks, and Eurobonds. The main aim of Risevest is to help Nigerians grow their wealth in global dollar denominated assets that beats inflation.
The Nigerian naira since 1972 has lost on average, 12% of its value every year.
Furthermore, in 2018 alone, investments worth N1.89 trillion was lost in the Nigerian stock market. This is besides several companies in our stock market that simply don’t pay dividends to their investors due to poor management and poor regulation.
When you put these facts together, one can begin to see why it is important for anyone willing to secure their future to look outside the country for investment opportunities.
