On the sidelines of the African National Insurance Companies Federation (FANAF), NSIA Asset Management held a strategic meeting with its clients to present its performance for the year 2025 and outline its development prospects. This meeting was also an opportunity for the asset management company to highlight its growing role in mobilizing savings and financing African economies.
Present in three countries in the sub-region, NSIA Asset Management now has over 230 billion CFA francs in assets under management, according to the company. The year 2025 was marked by generally strong results for the various funds offered by the institution. Leading the pack, the Aurore Opportunités fund recorded a remarkable performance of 23.94%, followed by the NSIA Diversified Fund, which posted a return of 13.13%, while the Tawfir Halal fund, compliant with Islamic finance requirements, achieved a performance of 8.41%, reflecting the growing interest in financial products tailored to specific needs. Other funds also performed well: Aurore Sécurité (6.76%), Aurore Sécurité 2 (7.32%), Aurore Sovereign Bonds (9.54%), and Aurore Monétaris (9.05%).
During the meeting, CEO Franck Olivier Diagou unveiled the institution’s prospects, including an expansion of its presence in Mali and Togo. The goal is clear: to strengthen NSIA Asset Management’s position as a leading player in asset management in West Africa.
In addition to geographical expansion, the company aims to deepen its solutions to meet the needs of all client segments; institutional clients, insurers, reinsurers, banks, but especially individuals: “If we truly want to be independent or sovereign, we must reach a point where we can finance ourselves through our internal savings. And to do this, we can never achieve it if we do not share money optimally with individuals,” emphasized Franck Olivier Diagou.
On his part, Paul Sodokin, director of NSIA Asset Management in Benin, emphasized the importance of mutual funds, especially for insurance companies. “It is important for insurers to invest in mutual funds. This will allow them to achieve better returns than they could by directly investing in bonds or stocks,” he explained.
These instruments, he added, offer better risk diversification while providing access to investment opportunities that are difficult to capture individually.
This strategic meeting comes as FANAF focuses on the developments in the African financial sector in response to new economic and regulatory imperatives, in a context marked by the progressive development of asset management on the continent and the strengthening role of capital markets in financing economies.
