The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted Zigma-Alpha Asset Management Limited a provisional license to operate as Fund and Portfolio Managers in the Nigerian capital market.
The approval was formally conveyed in a letter dated August 25, 2025, and signed by SEC’s Director of Registration, Exchanges and Market Infrastructure, Mrs. Hafsat Rufai. The letter was addressed to the company’s Managing Director, Dr. Bello Kolawole.
With the approval, Zigma-Alpha is now authorised to offer a range of investment services, including fund management, financial advisory, and portfolio structuring for individuals, corporate bodies, and institutions.
Reacting to the development in a statement on Thursday, Kolawole described the licence as a major leap forward for the company.
“This licence is more than a regulatory milestone, it is a launchpad for our vision to set new standards in investment advisory and portfolio management in Nigeria.
“We are committed to using technology, global best practices, and deep market expertise to create long-term value for our clients,” he said.
He assured clients that Zigma-Alpha will bring cutting-edge technology, global best practices, and in-depth market insight to deliver superior value and wealth creation strategies.
