Parthian Capital is born from a legacy of innovation, deeply rooted in a history of trailblazing achievements spanning over a decade. Our journey mirrors the wisdom of the ancient Parthian warriors who, like us, demonstrated exceptional strength in execution. This legacy of success continues to inspire our future endeavours, driven by an unwavering commitment to uphold these virtues.

Our story began with the establishment of Parthian Partners in 2012, our investment banking sister company, which set out to deepen and revolutionise finance in Nigeria. We secured Nigeria’s first interdealer brokerage license from the Securities and Exchange Commission, leading the way in wholesale brokerage services. Parthian Partners quickly built a reputation as a trusted intermediary, facilitating transactions among market dealers, investors, pension fund administrators, and international financial institutions, and cementing its role in the Nigerian financial landscape.

In 2016, Parthian Securities Limited was incorporated as an independent subsidiary to extend our trading capabilities to retail and wholesale customers. Parthian Securities provides a platform for individuals and non-financial corporates to access securities on the NGX Exchange, NASD OTC, Lagos Commodity and Future Exchange (LCFE), and FMDQ Securities Exchange, ensuring their diverse investment needs are met.

2018 marked our entry into the financial technology space with the launch of the i-invest app. This groundbreaking innovation shattered traditional barriers, enabling individual investments in treasury bills. i-invest was the first of its kind in Nigeria, and within six months of its launch, it had already catalysed over NGN2 billion in investments, heralding a new era of financial empowerment. By 2021, i-invest had evolved into a comprehensive financial management platform, incorporating features for savings and equity investment, giving retail customers full control over their finances.

Today, the Parthian Group stands as a one-stop shop for financial services, a gateway into a financial universe that delivers sustainable growth for individuals, governments, and the broader African economy.
