New Asset Manager Fortuna Capital Targets Wider Access to Professional Investment Services

A new player has entered Nigeria’s growing asset management sector, as Fortuna Capital Limited begins operations with a focus on providing professionally managed investment opportunities to a broad range of investors.

Fortuna Capital, which is registered and regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, says its mandate is to make disciplined investment management available to individuals as well as corporate and institutional clients.

The company will serve different segments of the market, including high-net-worth individuals, through portfolio management, investment advisory and related services. Its solutions are expected to take into account clients’ individual investment objectives and tolerance for risk.

At the centre of Fortuna Capital’s strategy is an investment philosophy built around research-led decisions, effective risk management and patience for long-term returns.

The firm said its ambition is to establish itself as a trusted partner in wealth creation and preservation. Its leadership combines professional experience from banking, capital markets and asset management, which the company says will support its efforts to deliver investment services with credibility and discipline.

For Stella Eziuka, Global Head, Wealth Advisory, Fortuna Capital’s launch comes at an important point in Nigeria’s financial market.

“We are not just launching a fund management business, we are building a platform that puts the investor first, backed by discipline, sound research and a genuine commitment to helping Nigerians grow and protect their wealth,” Eziuka said.

She further explained that the company would place emphasis on long-term value and responsible investment management. According to her, regulatory approval to provide discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management services reflects confidence in Fortuna Capital’s capacity to operate responsibly.

Nigeria’s investment management market has continued to attract attention as pension assets increase, the middle class expands and more retail investors become financially aware.

Against this backdrop, Fortuna Capital says it intends to offer a combination of informed investment strategy, risk discipline and long-term thinking to meet the changing needs of investors.

Fortuna Capital Limited provides discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, investment advisory and related asset management services to individuals, corporates and institutions across Nigeria.
