ARM Securities Limited is a stockbroking firm in Lagos, Nigeria. It began life as Hamilton Hammer and Co. The wider ARM group, Asset and Resource Management, bought the firm in 2008 and gave it its current name.
The firm helps clients buy and sell shares on the Nigerian Exchange, plus treasury bills and government savings bonds. It is registered with Nigeria's SEC as a Broker/Dealer, file number 487, and holds Corporate Affairs Commission number 125242. It also runs an online platform, ArmStockTrade, so retail investors can open an account without visiting a branch.
ARM Securities does not offer forex or CFD trading with leverage, so figures like spreads or maximum leverage do not apply to it. It mainly serves investors who want direct access to Nigerian company shares and government debt, not short term currency speculation.
