In 1999, the S&P 500 peaked. Then it took 14 years to gradually recover by 2013.

Today? Goldman Sachs sounds crazy forecasting 3% returns for 2024 to 2034.

But we’re currently seeing the highest price for the S&P 500 compared to earnings since the dot-com boom.

So, maybe that’s why they’re not alone; Vanguard projects about 5%.

In fact, now just about everything seems priced near all time highs. Equities, gold, crypto, etc.

But billionaires have long diversified a slice of their portfolios with one asset class that is poised to rebound.

It’s post war and contemporary art.

Sounds crazy, but over 70,000 investors have followed suit since 2019—with Masterworks.

You can invest in shares of artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.

24 exits later, results speak for themselves: net annualized returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.*

Cement remains one of the most important inputs in Nigeria’s housing and construction sector, yet it is also one of the most controversial. Despite Nigeria being one of Africa’s largest cement producers, local prices continue to sit well above what many consumers expect, especially when compared with prices in export markets.

Recent remarks by Aliko Dangote have reignited this conversation, offering insight into why cement produced in Nigeria can sometimes be cheaper outside the country than within it.

Land on Banana Island, one of Lagos’ most prestigious and high-end neighborhoods, has experienced an extraordinary surge in value. Recent market movements show that prices have jumped as much as 540 percent, with land now trading around ₦3.05 million per square meter. This dramatic shift reflects broader movements in Nigeria’s luxury real estate and has important implications for developers, investors, and affluent buyers.

Nigeria’s real estate sector continues to play a central role in driving economic activity, investment, and job creation across the country. As the economy works to diversify beyond oil and strengthen non-oil sectors, real estate has emerged as one of the most resilient and impactful contributors to growth.

Industry leaders increasingly point to property development, housing delivery, and real estate financing as pillars supporting Nigeria’s long-term economic expansion.

Nigeria’s real estate market does not exist in isolation. It is deeply connected to broader economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates, exchange rate movements, employment trends, and government policy. When the macroeconomy falters or shifts, the effects ripple through housing demand, rental values, and property prices. For investors, homeowners, tenants, and policymakers, understanding these linkages is key to navigating the Nigerian property landscape.
