The Nigerian Stock Exchange Main-Board Index has lost about 18% of its value this year. Largely, most investors in the Nigerian Stock Exchange lost money. Yet, there are solid alternatives in this game. Besides the different ideas I have shared before, I want to bring attention to one new model: financing mobility/logistics business assets. Yes, here trucks and motorbikes. KoboWIN (from Kobo, Nigeria’s leading digital trucking firm) and Gokada (e-bike hailing firm) make it possible for people to invest in trucks and motorbikes respectively. So, Kobo pools money to buy trucks while Gokada does same for motorbikes.

KoboWIN is a Kobo360 product that allows members of the public (individual investor or pool of investors) to invest in a reliable truck with a seed investment of N14m per truck.

Looking at the numbers from their prospectus, they promised to return at least 21% per year (guaranteed). There is risk all over this world but leaving money in the NSE may not be smart as we move into the election paralysis.
