FSDH Holding Company Limited
FSDH Holding Company Limited is a Lagos-headquartered non-operating financial services holding group operating as a Corporate Strategic Investor across the West African financial ecosystem. Originally incorporated in June 1992 as First Securities Discount House Limited—the first private discount house established to operate in the Federal Republic of Nigeria—the institution underwent a series of structured structural adaptations, securing one of the nation's inaugural merchant banking licences in November 2012 before transitioning into a unified non-operating financial holding company layout (RC Number: 1553171) under Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) regulations. The firm executes an ecosystem-building and asset-generation investment strategy, deploying its proprietary corporate capital pools directly to form, capitalise, and oversee specialised market-leading subsidiaries spanning merchant banking, portfolio wealth allocation, stockbrokerage, and corporate advisory services.
