The findings revealed that causal factors have a positive and significant effect on the axial phenomenon of investment security and that the axial phenomenon as well as the contextual and intervening factors have a positive and significant impact on investment security strategic factors. In addition, it was discovered that strategic factors have a positive and significant effect on investment security outcomes.
