A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Structure of the Nigerian capital market

The structure of the Nigerian capital market centres on how long-term funds are raised, traded, regulated, and invested through organised institutions and instruments. For the exam, you must master the segments of the market, the roles of major participants and regulators, and how funds move from issuers to investors in both primary and secondary market transactions.
