Nigeria's Mutual Fund Industry to Hit ₦7.67 Trillion by 2025

The Nigerian mutual fund industry is expected to achieve a total net asset value (NAV) of ₦7.67 trillion by the end of 2025, reflecting sustained investor participation and strong returns across fixed income and hybrid portfolio securities. Data from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as of December 24 indicates that 62 mutual fund managers collectively serve 1.1 million unitholders across 195 funds, with an average year-to-date (YTD) yield of 21.84%.

The analysis highlights that the combined NAV and unitholder participation underscore significant asset growth and investor trust in the market. FSDH, a notable fund manager, reported a total NAV of ₦104.99 billion with an average YTD yield of 17.89%, serving 8,665 unitholders across five fund categories.

This growth signals a deepening confidence in professionally managed investment vehicles within Nigeria's financial landscape.
