Old Mutual Rolls Out Alternative investments, eyes Pensioners

By Isaac OGANGA

Old Mutual Investment Group (OMIG) has rolled out its Alternative Investment vision targeting pension schemes seeking to diversify their investments and gain long-term returns.

This is against the backdrop of an extensive engagement campaign through pension scheme training, and investment conferences showcasing the success stories of Alternative Investment.

The move is part of the firm’s new commitment to help its clientele unlock possibilities while adding more value to them. Besides, it signifies Old Mutuals’ confidence in Kenya’s pension sector.

OMIG’s Managing Director Anthony Mwithiga said, “Pension schemes by their nature have longer term obligations and by extension more patient capital which is ideal for generating sustainable long term superior returns from Alternative Investments like infrastructure”.

Besides, “We have done well in investing in traditional asset classes like listed shares of bonds and public markets but it’s time to diversify by focusing on Alternative Investments while not forgetting the traditional assets” said Mr Mwithiga.
