CFG Africa Introduces Naira Fixed Income Fund

CFG Africa has introduced the GFG AM Naira Fixed Income Fund as a response to the growing need for stable and reliable investment opportunities in the nation’s dynamic economic landscape.

The launch event, which took place in Lagos on Wednesday, gathered key stakeholders, investors, and the CFG Africa leadership team.

The CFG AM Naira Fixed Income Fund is a managed open-ended unit trust scheme designed to provide investors with investment liquidity, diversification, and competitive returns through investments in high-quality Naira-denominated fixed income securities.

This fund is tailored for individuals, corporates, high net worth investors, and institutions seeking stable and reliable investment growth.

Speaking during the launch, Mr Babajide Lawani, the Managing Director of CFG Africa Ltd., emphasised the strategic importance of the Fund.

“The introduction of the CFG AM Naira Fixed Income Fund is a deliberate step in expanding our capacity to serve a broader spectrum of investors.

“It allows us to channel capital into stable, Naira-denominated assets, contributing to a more resilient and inclusive financial market in Nigeria.

“This launch demonstrates our proactive approach to addressing market dynamics and providing solutions that meet the long-term investment goals of our clients.

“We believe this fund offers a crucial avenue for Nigerians to participate in stable investment opportunities, contributing to their financial well-being and the broader economic landscape.”

Also, Mr Adedoyin Wilson-Diamond, Chief Investment Officer of CFG Africa Ltd., added, “In a dynamic economic environment, preserving capital and achieving consistent returns are paramount.

“The CFG AM Naira Fixed Income Fund has been meticulously structured to navigate market fluctuations and deliver competitive yields through prudent investment in quality Naira-denominated assets.

“Our active management approach will ensure we capitalise on opportunities while effectively managing risk,” he said.

CFG Africa views the current macroeconomic landscape as an opportune moment to introduce such a fund, providing a hedge against volatility while offering consistent returns.

The fund’s assets will be held by an independent custodian, Rand Merchant Bank Ltd., with AVA Trustees Ltd. acting as the independent trustee, ensuring the highest standards of security and governance.

CFG Africa remains committed to providing innovative and accessible financial solutions that empower individuals and institutions to achieve their financial goals.(NAN)
