What ORAGROUP SECURITIES| Société de Gestion et d'Intermediation (SGI) does

Oragroup Securities is a Société de Gestion et d'Intermédiation (SGI) headquartered in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, licensed by the AMF-UMOA regulator in 2022 and operating as the brokerage and intermediation arm of the pan-African Orabank Group. The firm offers a full-service capital markets proposition spanning brokerage (courtage) for listed and OTC securities, dematerialized custody and account-keeping, discretionary portfolio management (gestion sous mandat), self-directed investing (gestion libre), wealth management with tax and estate planning, financial engineering (M&A advisory, structuring, financing), balance-sheet restructuring, primary-market issuance and placement, BRVM market making, corporate actions and registrar services, and recurring research reports. It serves two primary client segments on a roughly co-equal basis: individual investors (Particuliers) and institutional clients and corporates (Institutionnels et personnes morales), with reach across all eight UEMOA member states via the integrated BRVM exchange.

The technology stack centers on a digital trading platform built to international standards, supplemented by dematerialized custody infrastructure integrated with the regional central depositary (DC/BR), a digitalized corporate assembly management tool for institutional clients, and an authenticated private client portal (Mon Espace Privé). Distribution combines relationship-managed sales via dedicated Chargés d'Affaires and a Chargée de Clientèle Patrimoniale, the digital self-serve platform for retail clients, and cross-referrals from the Orabank parent network. The management team of 8 visible members is led by a Directeur Général with over 20 years of UEMOA capital markets experience drawn from Atlantique Finance, ECOBANK, and BNI.

Revenue mechanics mix transaction-based brokerage fees, recurring management and wealth management fees, and project-based professional services fees for financial engineering, restructuring, and capital markets mandates. Pricing is negotiated and not publicly disclosed. The firm carries a fully paid-up capital of 2.5 billion FCFA (~$4.1M USD), 2.5x the AMF-UMOA regulatory minimum, providing capacity for larger transactions and signaling balance-sheet credibility to institutional counterparties.
