Own a share of Africa's growth
Common and preferred shares, rights, REITs, and depositary receipts across three listing boards — with fractional ownership, automated corporate actions, and T+1 settlement to your Securities Vault.
Every way to hold equity
From direct common shares to income-oriented preferreds, property REITs, and index ETPs — a complete equity toolkit.
Common Stock
Direct fractional ownership in listed companies — with voting rights, dividend participation, and capital appreciation as the business grows.
Preferred Stock
A senior equity class with fixed dividend priority and a claim ahead of common holders — income stability with equity upside.
Rights & Warrants
Participate in capital raises at a discount. Rights issues and warrants give existing holders the option to buy new shares on preferential terms.
REITs
Real Estate Investment Trusts pay through rental income from diversified property portfolios — real-asset yield in a liquid, listed wrapper.
ETPs & Index Funds
Exchange-traded products track indices, sectors, and themes in a single trade — instant diversification with intraday liquidity.
Depositary Receipts
Access foreign and diaspora-issued equities through depositary receipts — global exposure settled in local currency on ContiSX.
Three boards for every stage
Companies list on the board that matches their size and maturity — and investors know exactly what profile each board represents.

More than a ticker — real ownership, fully serviced
Holding equity on ContiSX means genuine ownership with the paperwork handled for you. Dividends, voting, and corporate actions flow automatically to your vault, and Boardroom gives you a direct line into governance.
Equities, answered
Open a ContiSX account directly or via your broker, complete KYC, and fund your account. You can then buy shares in any listed company directly (depends on asset) through the app or via a licensed broker — settling T+1 into your CSD.
Catalyst hosts early-stage companies and SMEs with lighter requirements; Ascent is the flagship growth market with full analyst coverage; Vantage is the premium tier for established large-cap enterprises seeking global institutional access.
Yes. ContiSX supports fractional ownership, so you can invest a fixed naira amount into high-priced shares rather than needing to buy a whole unit — making diversification accessible at any budget.
Dividends, rights issues, splits, and other corporate actions are processed automatically through the CSD and credited to you. Elective actions like rights subscriptions are presented in-app for your decision.
REITs are listed trusts that pay rental income from property portfolios; ETPs (including ETFs) are baskets that track an index or theme in a single trade. Both give diversified, liquid exposure without picking individual stocks.
