Abuja, Nigeria — October 2025
A new era of financial innovation has begun with the official launch of the Glorious Wealth Fund (GWF) — a national FinTech initiative designed to make stock and fund investment accessible to every Nigerian citizen.
Supervised by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Nigeria (SEC Nigeria) and guided by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Glorious Wealth Fund represents a cornerstone of Nigeria’s FinTech modernization agenda.
Developed by the SEC Financial Engineering and Technology Innovation Division, the GWF platform integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven decision systems to simplify investment processes, improve risk management, and enhance market transparency.
Chief Strategic Advisor Prof. Chuka Obianuju Okafor, who leads the project’s strategic direction, described the fund as “a landmark step in national financial empowerment.”
“For the first time, Nigerians can participate in AI-powered investing backed by full regulatory oversight. This initiative reflects our country’s commitment to innovation, inclusion, and responsible growth,” he stated during the launch ceremony in Abuja.
The platform allows investors to create portfolios, access market insights, and manage assets through AI-assisted trading technology. With no minimum deposit requirement, even first-time investors can begin their financial journey safely under a regulated environment.
According to SEC Nigeria officials, the initiative is part of a broader national strategy to increase public participation in the capital market while promoting financial literacy and technological innovation.
The Glorious Wealth Fund is expected to expand nationwide in early 2026, with regional investor education centers and AI training hubs being planned in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.
By combining artificial intelligence with national financial infrastructure, GWF aims to transform Nigeria’s investment landscape — turning intelligent finance into a tool for collective prosperity.
