Inside the firm

Three rooms your money passes through.

Research is written, mandates are reviewed face to face, and what we learn is taught back to the investors who fund it.

The review room — allocation, risk and progress against your goals.

Our process

How a mandate actually runs.

No black boxes. Nine repeatable stages, from the first conversation to the performance report that lands in your inbox.

Investor profiling

We map your objectives, obligations, liquidity needs and investment horizon before any instrument is discussed.

Risk tolerance assessment

A structured assessment of the volatility and drawdown you can carry — financially and emotionally.

Financial goal planning

Goals become target returns, time horizons and contribution schedules we can measure against.

Strategic asset allocation

Capital is allocated across equities, fixed income, ETFs, money markets and — where mandated — selected digital assets.

Security selection

Fundamental analysis, financial statement review and valuation work decide what enters the portfolio.

Portfolio construction

Position sizing and diversification limits are applied so no single idea can compromise the mandate.

Ongoing monitoring

Holdings, theses and macro conditions are reviewed continuously — not annually.

Rebalancing

Drift is corrected on a disciplined schedule to keep risk where you agreed it should be.

Measurement & reporting

Transparent performance reporting: what we own, why we own it, and what it earned.

Why Transisco Alpha

Institutional-quality management, without the institutional distance.

Most investors in Nigeria are asked to choose between professional management and understanding what is happening to their money. We refuse that trade-off: you get a disciplined, research-driven manager and an education in how your portfolio works.

  • Independent, research-driven investment decisions — no product-selling incentives.
  • Capital preservation and risk management ahead of return-chasing.
  • Multi-asset expertise spanning equities, fixed income, ETFs and digital assets.
  • A transparent 2% management and 20% performance fee, documented in your agreement.
  • Interests aligned: we are paid more only when you realise profit.
  • A standing commitment to financial literacy and investor empowerment.
