    Nigerian mutual funds soar to N4.5tr amid low-risk buying — Business — The Guardian Nigeria News – Nigeria and World News

    March 14, 2025


    Nigeria’s mutual funds market has witnessed an unprecedented surge, with total assets under management soaring to N4.5 trillion by the end of February 2025.
    The surge represents a remarkable 95.7 per cent increase from the N2.3 trillion recorded in January 2024 and a 9.8 per cent rise from the N4.1 trillion reported in January 2025.

    A key driver of this rapid expansion is the increasingly attractive returns offered by money market mutual funds. As of January, the fund recorded an average yield of 20.58 per cent, a substantial improvement from the 9.73 per cent seen in the same period of the previous year. Investors, in search of stable and competitive returns, have flocked to these funds with 28 out of 38 achieving yields exceeding 20 per cent.

    The growing appeal has fueled a sharp rise in inflows, making mutual funds a preferred investment option for investors. Operators attributed the growth to a combination of economic stability and increased investor confidence.Higher foreign exchange inflows, bolstered by improved oil production and increased investments from indigenous oil companies, have strengthened Nigeria’s economic outlook.

    With a more stable forex market, investors are more willing to commit capital to financial instruments that promise sustainable returns. Mutual funds have emerged as a key beneficiary of this shift.

    Beyond economic improvements, government-driven reforms and policy execution have played a crucial role in shaping a more favourable investment environment.
    The administration’s ongoing commitment to economic transformation, backed by a team of competent policymakers, has reassured both local and foreign investors.

    This confidence has led to a surge in mutual fund investments, as more capital is channelled into low-risk, high-yield opportunities. Reacting to this development, the Managing Director of Arthur Steven Asset Management Limited, Tunde Amolegbe, described the surge as evidence of rising retail investors’ participation in the capital market.

    He noted that while part of the growth could be attributed to the increased value of fund assets due to rising asset prices over the past year, the broader shift reflects a growing preference for capital market investments as a hedge against inflation.

    With mutual funds offering a combination of security, attractive returns and diversification, they have become an increasingly strategic choice for investors looking to navigate Nigeria’s evolving economic landscape.

    This trend underscored the growing recognition of the capital market as a crucial tool for wealth preservation and sustainable financial growth.
