The specific composition of the investment committee or portfolio management team is not publicly detailed. Nyamali's background includes prior experience in Nigeria's securities industry during the post-consolidation era.
What asset classes does Investment One manage?
The firm manages strategies across Nigerian public equities, government and corporate fixed income, real estate, and private credit. Its collective investment schemes include equity funds tied to the Nigerian Exchange and money market funds invested in short-term naira instruments. Real estate exposure comes through both direct development and listed property securities.
Is Investment One affiliated with a bank?
No. Investment One operates as an independent, non-bank asset manager, which distinguishes it from competitors like Stanbic IBTC Asset Management that benefit from a parent bank's distribution network. The firm sources clients without a captive retail banking channel.
Does Investment One participate in private markets or only public securities?
Investment One participates in both. Public markets remain the core of its fund range, but the firm also deploys capital into real estate development and private credit opportunities in Nigeria. The split between public and private deployment is not publicly disclosed.
How is Investment One regulated?
The firm is registered with the Nigeria Securities and Exchange Commission as a fund manager and securities dealer. Its collective investment schemes are approved by the SEC and operate under Nigeria's regulatory framework for mutual funds.
