Nigerian pension funds continued their winning streak in January defiling the odds of stock market volatility to post positive gains. The Retirement Savings Account, RSA, category made an average of 0.42%, with returns ranging from 1.17% to negative 0.07%. Information about the performance of Premium Pensions RSA and First Guarantee Pensions RSA were not available and efforts to get such information yielded no result. Those are, therefore, excluded in this report. Below are the 5 best performing RSA funds as at the end of January 2019:

Equity Exposure Hurts APT Pensions

APT Pensions keeps getting hurt by their high exposure to the equity market. With about 18% of their pension assets invested in equities, the highest in the industry. APT pensions RSA fund recorded a 0.07% negative return while its Retiree fund 4 recorded a negative 0.27% return in January. It may be time for APT investment committee to think of reallocating their assets away from the equity market unless there is some sort of crystal ball that tells them the equity market will rebound soon and for the long hall.

NSE Pensions Index Performance

Compared to the NSE Pensions Index, which is predominantly equity based, both RSA and Retiree funds outperformed the index. The January YTD performance of the index stood at -3.12%.
