Nigerian Stocks post solid gains as January ends in green 

February 2, 2025

Nigerian stocks All Share Index have gained about 31% this year alone making it one of the best performing stock exchanges in the world this year. From a total market cap of about N9.1 trillion at the start of the year, the Nigerian stock market has gained over N3 trillion in market value closing at N12.7 trillion as at Friday.

What it means for pension fund contributors

For Nigeria’s 7 million pension fund contributors, a stock market that is on a bullish ride also translates to a likely increase of the value of their pension funds contributions. Pension Funds in Nigeria are only allowed a global portfolio limit of about 25% for investing in shares only. It is therefore likely that most of the pension funds would likely report increased capital gains this year.

It is important to add that an increase in the value of pension fund assets does not mean more cash will be paid to pension fund contributors or that they will earn any form of dividend. it just means that the money you have contributed as pension may have also added a significant value.

When you receive your pension slips at the end of this month from your PFA, you will likely see an increase in the value of your pension fund contribution this year compared to last showing that the improved performance in the stock market should have translated into modest gains for your portfolio as well.
