Axis Pension Trust Limited

Axis Pension Trust Limited

Axis Pension Trust Limited was established in 2010 by Afriyie Oware. The firm operates as a licensed pension trustee and administrator serving Ghanaian workers through defined-contribution schemes and annuity products. Its scale stems from organic growth in formal-sector enrollment rather than acquisition of legacy assets. The investment program centers on fixed income, real estate, public equities and private-market funds. Government of Ghana securities have historically comprised 83-90 percent of the portfolio. Real-estate exposure includes a minority stake in Rangoon Real Estate Investment PLC, which holds the PWC Tower and Huawei Building in Accra. Equity holdings include positions in GOIL, Enterprise Group and CalBank. Private-fund commitments encompass Injaro Ghana Venture Capital Fund, Mirepa Capital SME Fund and Oasis Africa Fund. Allocations remain concentrated in Ghana with limited West African coverage through the Oasis vehicle. The firm employs 110 professionals at its East Legon headquarters. It maintains a CSR program focused on financial literacy and a Young Scholars Fellowship launched in 2023 at the University of Ghana Business School. May 2025: Axis sponsored the Pension Strategy Conference in Accra on policy and market opportunities. Custody relationships exist with Zenith Bank Ghana, Stanbic Bank Ghana, Fidelity Bank Ghana and Guaranty Trust Bank. Axis participates in industry associations including the Chamber of Corporate Trustees Ghana and the Ghana Venture Capital and Private Equity Association. Its structure as an independent trustee with direct LP positions in local funds and a dedicated real-estate vehicle distinguishes it from pure asset managers or bank-sponsored pension administrators in the market.
