Home Markets Fixed Income Funds Management

Nigerian mutual funds made an estimated N1.9 billion gain in 2018

In a recent article, I hinted that Nigerian fund managers did better than their Western contemporaries and as such deserved some praise. In the same article, I cautioned that all the data for mutual funds were not in and as such I could not definitively say if mutual fund managers, like their pension fund peers, did good in 2018. I did, however, point out that going by the year to date return generated by mutual funds as at the end of November, it looked like the fixed income fund managers were able to generate some good gains.

Now the data are in and that prediction seems to have come true, at least, in part. According to data released by the Security and Exchange Commission, SEC and analysed by Quantitative Financial Analytics, Nigerian mutual funds generated an estimated gain of N1.9 billion in 2018, to bring its total Net Asset Value to N648.2 billion. The analysis reveals that inspite of the huge withdrawals in the month of November and the lackluster performance of the equity market, Nigerian mutual fund managers took in a whopping N386 billion of new money in 2018 while seeing about N165 billion of outflows in the form of total withdrawals for the year. So, the interplay of the beginning Net Asset Value of N426 billion, the total estimated subscription of N386 billion, the withdrawal of N165 billion and the estimated gain of N1.9 billion resulted in the 2018 ending total Net Asset Value of N648 billion which represents a 52.3% increase.

The huge inflow underscores the fact that investors are still interested in mutual funds, especially money market funds which took in most of the new inflows.
