Stanbic IBTC Empowers Young Nigerians With Investment Skills

A subsidiary of Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc, Stanbic IBTC Asset Management is set to empower young Nigerians with essential investment skills through its Investbeta programme.

The initiative aims to equip participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed investment decisions, promoting financial literacy and wealth creation among young people in Nigeria.

The chief executive, Stanbic IBTC Asset Management, Busola Jejelowo noted that InvestBeta reflects its deep commitment to financial education. She said, “we understand that today’s young people want more than just advice but practical, hands-on experience. This is why the InvestBeta game show is here to change how young Nigerians see money and what they can do with it.”

Following the success of its debut season, Stanbic IBTC Asset Management announced the return of the InvestBeta Game Show, with registration officially open.

It stated that, “the second season of the InvestBeta show builds on the first edition, aimed at equipping young Nigerians with real-world financial skills in a fun, relatable, and competitive format. The show’s first season, which aired in 2024, captured the attention of Gen-Z viewers across the country, blending entertainment with investment education in a way that had never been done before. With positive feedback, it proved that young Nigerians are ready to learn how to grow their money, and all they need is the right platform.

“The new season reflects the Group’s broader youth-focused mission through Beyond Dreams, its dynamic community created for Nigerians aged 18 to 30. The community aims to help young people turn their aspirations into reality through secure, timely and smart investment choices. Since its inception, Beyond Dreams has grown to a network of over 90,000 young members, generated 2,100 plus new investment accounts, and continues to position the Group as a trusted partner in the financial futures of Nigeria’s youth.”
