Cordros Capital Limited is a company committed to growth – the growth of our clients and their assets.
We are a leading Financial Services company, licensed as Brokers/Issuing House and Fund/Portfolio Managers by The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC).
We work with a diversified clientele, consisting of private clients, small businesses, financial institutions & corporations and governments. Every relationship is built on a true partnership and underpinned by Cordros’s growth philosophy.
The use of the nautilus shell – with its continuous growth pattern – is a visual symbol of this philosophy. Not only does it reflect the real-life application of the golden ratio* but it is relevant to the safe harbouring of management and finances.
While every nautilus shell is identifiable by its miraculous spiral, each one is different. It is with this in mind that we create solutions that are relevant and add value to the specific needs and goals of each one of our clients.Job Purpose
