Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at NSIA?
Investment decisions sit with the Diagou family's executive leadership. Jean Kacou Diagou, the founder, remains Chairman of Groupe NSIA. His daughter Janine Kacou Diagou is CEO and runs day-to-day operations. Mansan Dominique Diagou Ehilé, another daughter, leads the insurance division. Swiss Re, a strategic shareholder, provides governance input but does not control investment decisions.
What investment sectors does NSIA target?
The group's core sectors are insurance (life and non-life), banking and financial services, and real estate. The banking arm includes a digital joint venture with Orange called Orange Bank Africa, targeting mobile-first lending. Real estate is held through NSIA Immobilier. The firm does not publish a venture capital or technology mandate beyond the Orange Bank Africa partnership.
What is NSIA's known footprint outside Côte d'Ivoire?
NSIA operates in at least 12 countries across francophone West and Central Africa, including Senegal, Benin, Cameroon, Gabon, Guinea, and Mali. The 2021 acquisition of four subsidiaries from Sanlam expanded its presence in markets where Sanlam previously competed. The group reports its banking arm, including Orange Bank Africa, serves customers across the UEMOA monetary union.
