The Week in Review

The NASD OTC Market ends the week with a decrease in market metrics, as the NASD USI decreased by 1.63%, closing at 664.38 points (as against 675.43 points last Friday). Consequently, total market capitalization shed 1.63% this week, closing lower at ₦449.61 billion compared to ₦457.08 billion last Friday.

Introduction of Trade Alert Notification Service.

NASD launched its proprietary trading platform (BITs) on 9 April, 2018 to provide Authorised Traders perform trades more conveniently on behalf of their brokerage clients. To further enhance service delivery and client satisfaction, NASD conducts regular modifications to improve the system, to promote transparency and market integrity.

In this regard, we have created a Trade Alert Notifications Service into the BITS system. This service will notify all Investors on the OTC platform with timely and accurate information on deals consummated on their brokerage account(s).

Investors with portfolios trading under the NASD OTC Market would receive daily SMS notifications at the close of trade. Trade Alerts will only be sent to an investor's registered mobile number with The Central Securities Clearing System PLC (CSCS) as from Friday 1 June, 2018.

Each trade alert will contain the following:

• Investor Name

• Investor Account Number

• Trade Date

• Stockbroking House Firm Code

• Security Traded

• Units Traded

• Price Traded

• General Market Closing Price of the Security

We believe that with this service, Investors will get adequate first-hand information from the Exchange on all transactions on their account, which can be confirmed by their chosen Participating Institution.
