FROM January 2021, stockbrokers would be mandated to give details of any investor in the Nigerian capital market who trades any security more than 499,999 units.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has already sent out a circular to registered brokers/dealers that the implementation of this policy will commence from Saturday, January 2, 2021.
It is in line with one of the rules and regulations of the apex capital market regulator, which the brokerage companies agreed to adhere to.
In the notice, SEC reminded the brokers that Rule 56 (1&2) (c) of the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission provides that:
“Registered brokers/dealers shall disclose to the Commission any dealings in a Security valued at a minimum of 500,000 units executed in a single deal or in multiple deals on the same day on behalf of his clients or on his own account not later than 24 hours after such activity.”

The returns shall be sent to the following email address in excel CSV template, stockexchange@sec.gov.ng.
