BlackCod Asset Management, a Securities and Exchange Commission-licensed investment firm, has officially launched its flagship product, Secure Yield Investment, offering Nigerian investors returns of up to 24 per cent per annum through SEC-regulated, fixed-income securities.
According to the promoters in a statement on Friday, the Secure Yield Investment is “positioned as a short-to-medium-term fixed-income product, designed for both individuals and institutions who want steady income without compromising capital safety.”
The statement stated that the product has several key features, including capital protection: 100 per cent principal safety via SEC-approved, investment-grade instruments; competitive yields: up to 24 per cent returns, benchmarked against T-bills and bank rates; and flexible tenors: 30 days – one year, with payouts upfront, monthly, quarterly, or at maturity
The product has a minimum entry of N500,000 for retail investors and N1,000,000 for institutional clients, making it accessible to a wide range of investors, including High Net Worth Individuals, corporates, pension funds, and retail clients with conservative risk profiles.
Beyond performance, BlackCod is banking on its client-first approach. Investors will have direct access to relationship managers and periodic portfolio reporting. “Unlike many firms where investors feel like just another number, our philosophy is to walk with our clients through their wealth journey, combining security with performance,” said Executive Director of BlackCod Asset Management, Efeosa Omoruyi.
Industry analysts noted that BlackCod’s entry is timely, given the high-interest-rate environment in Nigeria. By offering fixed returns and low-risk instruments, the firm is positioned as a challenger to established players such as Chapel Hill Denham, Stanbic IBTC Asset Management, and FBNQuest.
The statement added that with Secure Yield Investment, BlackCod appears intent on carving out a niche for investors who value growth, safety, and stability. The product launch signals the firm’s commitment to bridging the gap between wealth preservation and financial ambition in Nigeria’s evolving investment landscape.
“Investors want growth, but not at the cost of safety. With Secure Yield, we are delivering capital preservation, attractive yields, and regulatory transparency in one product,” Omoruyi stated.
