United Capital Plc has notified Nigerian Exchange and the investing public that it has been recognised by the renowned Financial Times, London in its inaugural FT Ranking: Africa’s Fastest Growing Companies 2022, a novel concept of the British daily, spotlighting African companies that have achieved rapid organic growth despite the economic challenges of the pandemic.
The FT rankings of Africa’s fastest growing companies released online on May 3, 2022, features 75 African companies operating in diverse sectors across various African countries, resulting from a thorough examination of about 900 public companies in Africa evaluating the companies with the highest compound annual growth (CAGR) in official stated revenues between 2017 and 2020.
United Capital is the only publicly listed Nigerian financial institution to feature among Africa’s fastest-growing companies as curated by Financial Times, premised on our organic growth, increasing client patronage, and superior value delivery to shareholders amid the globally devastating COVID-19 pandemic.
This global recognition bodes well for our aspirations to facilitate increased capital flows to economic sectors that drive growth while creating wealth, driving financial inclusion, and contributing to the economic development of the African continent.
This feat would not have been possible without our clients’ continued patronage and strong belief in our corporate goals. We remain deeply committed to serving all stakeholders including our regulators and broader investor community as our trusted partners on this mission to transform lives across the African continent.
United Capital Plc is a leading African organisation, Nigeria’s foremost capital market operator and publicly listed financial services group providing Investment Banking; Asset Management; Trustee Services; Securities Brokerage; Wealth Management and Consumer Finance offerings to diverse client segments comprising public institutions, large corporates, growing businesses, and individuals.
