Meristem Securities Limited is a Nigerian capital-markets firm providing a wide range of financial services including wealth management, stock-broking, asset management, investment banking, trusteeship and registrars & probate services.
Founded originally as Great Africa Securities in 2003 and renamed to Meristem in 2005, the group has grown into a multi-subsidiary financial services provider operating across Nigeria.
Meristem’s core value proposition is that it helps clients grow, preserve and transfer wealth. On its website the firm emphasises the promise: “Let’s grow wealth for you”.
One of the notable milestones: the asset-management arm of Meristem became Nigeria’s first indigenous firm to meet the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS), confirming its alignment with global best-practice in investment reporting.
The group’s services cover:
- Wealth management and portfolio advisory for individuals and families.
- Stock-broking and capital-markets trading through licensed entities.
- Investment banking, issuing-house services, and mergers & acquisitions advisory.
- Trusteeship, probate and registrars services, offering solutions for estate-planning and share-registration in Nigeria.
Meristem is headquartered in Lagos (Ikoyi), Nigeria, and serves both retail and corporate clients. In workplace terms, the firm is recognised as a strong employer: according to a Great Place to Work survey, 80% of employees said it was a great place to work, well above typical benchmarks.
In summary, if you are looking for a financial-services firm in Nigeria that spans investing, wealth-management and capital-markets activities, Meristem offers a full-service proposition grounded in local expertise but aligned with global standards.
