The story

Trove (Trove Africa Holdings) is a Nigeria-based retail investing app that gives African users fractional access to US and Nigerian securities — stocks, ETFs, bonds, mutual funds, treasury bills — alongside a social/community investing layer. The product has expanded beyond brokerage into a debit/virtual card offering and a Business & API tier, positioning Trove as a multi-product wealth-and-spend platform for the African diaspora and domestic retail. Brokerage execution is outsourced to SEC-registered partners in the US and Nigeria, with Trove Investment Advisers, LLC operating as the regulated entity for international clients.
