Fellow SimplVest readers, consider this an emergency. So drop everything and read!

While most of us were cautiously watching global markets, or getting carried away by politics, something extraordinary was happening right under our noses on the Nigerian Exchange. We’re talking about returns that sound too good to be true, but they're absolutely real.

Beta Glass delivered a mind-numbing 414.6% return in just six months. That's not a typo. A ₦100,000 investment became ₦514,600 by June. An investment of ₦1,000,000 in January became ₦5,146,000 by June. Honeywell Flour Mills wasn't far behind at 241.3%. Even waste management company The Initiates Plc surged 230%.

The Nigerian market gained ₦13 trillion in market cap during the first half of 2025, with the NGX All-Share Index climbing 16.57%. While we were debating international diversification, local champions were creating millionaires.

This isn't just luck or speculation, these companies showed real fundamentals. Beta Glass posted ₦10 billion profit (up 594%), while Vitafoam executed one of the most impressive turnarounds I've seen, flipping from a �N5.58 billion loss to ₦6.7 billion profit.

The revelation? The biggest opportunities might be closer to home than we think. Unfortunately, only a few Nigerians are taking advantage of it.

We thus invite you to read our feature piece of the week and get going.

We wish you the best of the weekend.
