Okay back to the drawing board.
Hedge fund/Family office as the goal.
Is CIS a Nigerian exam or a internationally recognised exam? Feels like I've asked this question before 🤔
If not, should CIIA or CFA be written?
somewhere in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. its very important that you see that journey through
If I had ₦1,000,000 for the Nigerian stock market today, here’s how I’d think about spreading it.
1. Dividend stocks (40%) = ₦400,000
The steady payers. Think GTCO, Presco, Zenith, MTN. They pay you while you hold.
2. Growth stocks (25%) = ₦250,000
Room to expand. Names like TIP, Transcorp and Aradel sit here.
3. Defensive stocks (20%) = ₦200,000
Food and staples people buy no matter what. BUA Foods, Dangote Sugar, Nascon, Unilever.
4. Value stocks (10%) = ₦100,000
Solid but underpriced. UACN, Fidelity Bank, FCMB, UBA.
5. Cash buffer (5%) = ₦50,000
Dry powder, so you can buy the dips instead of just watching.
This is a way of thinking, not a tip. Your age, goals and risk appetite change everything. Do your own research, and never let one stock decide your whole outcome.

This is how I aced the CIS Level 1 exam without reading a single line of the study packs.
As a lawyer with no formal finance background, the exam looked like a mountain I couldn’t climb in a month.
Here's the breakdown of the system I used. 🧵
If I were to advise someone who is considering buying stocks in the market right now, my recommended allocation would be:
MTN Nigeria: 30%
Seplat Energy: 25%
Custodian Investment: 20%
Wema Bank: 15%
The Initiates: 10%
The thinking is simple.
We want the bulk of the money in companies that are already proven. Coys with scale. Coys with cash flow. Coys that can survive difficult cycles and still keep producing earnings.
Then we want a smaller part of the portfolio in names that can grow faster, but where we must also respect the risks.
