Hello Investors and Traders,

Planning is the process of thinking about and organizing the activities required to achieve a desired goal. It is the fundamental bridge between where we are now (the present) and where we want to be (the future).

The year is coming to an end and whether you like it or not, 2026 is going to come whether you have planned about it or not. This goes not to emphasize on the importance of planning your new year. However, in this case, we will be looking at financial growth.

When I mentioned planning, it is not just to plan but also to take action where the need be in other to protect your investment...

Because it is absolutely the only thing that you have control over. You can't control the government or economic policies bearing in mind that alot of political activities is going to happen.

Planning: The Foundation of Successful Investing

Before you invest a single Naira, you must have a plan. Without a plan, investing is just gambling. Apart of Key Elements of a Financial/Investment Plan, you must understand you need to do the following:

· Start Early & Invest Regularly: The power of compounding is your greatest ally. Consistent investing (e.g., dollar-cost averaging) reduces the impact of market volatility.

· Diversification ("Don't put all your eggs in one basket"): This is the practical implementation of your asset allocation. Spread your investments within each asset class (e.g., different industries, countries, company sizes).

· Cost Awareness: High fees (expense ratios, transaction fees, advisor fees) can severely erode your long-term returns.

· Long-Term Discipline: The market will fluctuate. A well-constructed plan gives you the confidence to stay the course during downturns instead of panicking and selling at a loss. Your plan should be your anchor in a storm of market noise.

The Pre-Election Year Playbook

The pre-election year in Nigeria often serves as a period of notable opportunity for stock market investors, distinct from the volatility that characterizes the election year itself. Driven by an expansionary fiscal policy, the government typically ramps up spending on infrastructure and social programs, injecting liquidity into the economy. This fiscal stimulus acts as a catalyst, boosting corporate earnings for consumer goods and industrial sectors and improving profitability for banks. Historically, this has fueled a 'pre-election rally,' making it a strategically advantageous time for investors to build positions before the heightened uncertainty of the election year prompts a market reassessment.

The pre-election year is frequently the strongest period in the entire 4-year election cycle for the Nigerian stock market. This might seem counterintuitive, but it's driven by a clear and powerful political logic.

Key Drivers of the Pre-Election Year Market

1. Expansionary Fiscal Policy (The "Sugar Rush")
2. Positive Investor Sentiment and "Pre-Election Rally"
3. Relative Political Calm

In Pre-Election cycles, this pattern is often observable:

· Pre-Election 2022 (Before 2023 Elections): The NGX All-Share Index (NGXASI) delivered a return of ~19.98% for the year, one of its best performances in the decade, significantly outperforming the election year of 2023.
· Pre-Election 2018 (Before 2019 Elections): The market closed 2018 on a negative note, but this was an anomaly heavily influenced by a global monetary policy shift and specific local issues. However, there was a significant rally in the first half of the year before it tapered off.
· Pre-Election 2014 (Before 2015 Elections): The market was up significantly, driven by high oil prices and robust government spending, before crashing in the election year of 2015 due to the oil price collapse and intense political uncertainty.

So, being a pre-election season, 2026 is not just another year. It is part of a powerful historical trend or pattern that smart traders or discerning investors should be abreast of in any investment window, market or exchange in Nigeria today. It comes with tradable opportunities and risks that are associated with elections and post-elections. The ability to navigate between politics and economy creates the wealth that makes the difference in your investment. The reading of a nation’s electoral cycle and how investors perceive whether there could be a change in leadership, or a continuity, is a major factor that results in much of the uncertainty for which pre-election years have been known. This, it is believed, can and does spike market volatility and businesses, especially when it is seen that a new political party may take power. This summit will empower market players to navigate 2026 profitably by maximizing gains and minimize losses.

One can say that planning ahead of 2026 Pre-Election year gives you the blueprint of how to manage your investments in 2026, the exact stocks that will help you reach your 2026 investment target especially during the pre-election year. It is either you plan to succeed or you follow the crowd who don't understand how things work in the market in 2026.
