Empowering Women Through Financial Action
On March 20, 2025, the ‘Women in Wealth’ event hosted by Altinvest at AltPlace, Lekki, marked a pivotal moment in the movement towards women's financial empowerment. Nigeria’s pioneering ethical digital investment platform, a brainchild of The Alternative Bank, took center stage, gathering an impressive assembly of female executives, entrepreneurs, and investors. The discussions spearheaded by industry leaders revolved around wealth creation and financial independence, echoing a significant call-to-action.
Insights from Korede Demola-Adeniyi
In a compelling keynote address, Korede Demola-Adeniyi, Executive Director at The Alternative Bank, articulated the critical need for women to seize control of their financial destinies. With a commendable 40% female representation in its management, Altinvest is not just advocating for gender diversity, but actively embedding it into the fabric of financial services. Demola-Adeniyi urged participants to view wealth creation not merely as an exclusive privilege, but as a fundamental right attainable by everyone.
Accessibility of Investment Opportunities
One of the standout features of Altinvest is its commitment to breaking down investment barriers. With options ranging from real estate-linked investments to gold portfolios, the platform allows entry points as low as ₦10,000. Beyond this, the flexibility of trading gold—accessible from just one gram—presents an innovative approach to wealth accumulation. This model not only democratizes investing but resonates culturally, as gold holds significant appeal for many women in Nigeria.
Networking and Knowledge-Sharing
The event also fostered rich dialogue through a panel discussion featuring successful women across various sectors. Their candid sharing of experiences and strategies for overcoming financial fears and barriers has the potential to inspire many. Participants engaged actively in Q&A sessions, reflecting a heightened interest in building financial literacy and exploring ethical investment avenues.
Continuing the Momentum
As the event concluded, attendees were encouraged to take actionable steps towards their financial goals via the Altinvest app, available on both iOS and Google Play. This engagement is a testament to the growing online community dedicated to women's wealth building, exemplified by the enthusiastic interactions on social media using hashtags like #WomenInWealth #OwnYourStorywithAltInvest.
The 'Women in Wealth' gathering not only inspired participation but also underscored the potential of ethical investing as a catalyst for financial emancipation among women in Nigeria. With tools like Altinvest, the future of women’s finance looks promising.
