Fintech • Lagos, Nigeria
Risevest is a Nigerian digital wealth-management company founded in 2019 around the idea of giving African investors access to investment opportunities denominated in foreign currencies and markets. The company developed from an earlier investment concept that began in 2014, responding to the effects of inflation, currency depreciation and limited access to international investment opportunities across emerging markets. Its platform initially focused on connecting users with dollar-denominated investments and has since expanded into managed portfolios covering areas including U.S. stocks, fixed income and U.S. real estate. Rise has subsequently developed into a broader digital wealth-management business, with its investment operations structured through regulated entities and partners.
