Rise

Rise is giving Nigerians access to foreign investment opportunities through products such as Fixed Income, US Real Estate, and US Stocks. Rise sets itself apart from other investment platforms as a dollar fund manager and a one-stop-shop for dollar investments. Our mission is to be the product that brings the best investments from around the world to everyone in Africa and beyond in order to create wealth for the continent.

The product and company known as Rise today began with an idea that sparked in 2014. We realized that due to currency shocks, high inflation rates and the impact of devaluation, most investment opportunities across emerging markets do not yield enough returns for investors to grow their wealth. This makes it difficult for people in these markets to achieve their financial goals.

To solve this problem, we built Rise as a simple way of connecting our users to dollar-denominated investments in developed markets, managed by a world class team using smart algorithms to guide our decisions, while helping our users become more financially literate.
