, , No Comments

Stanbic IBTC Asset Management is the leading wealth management firm in Nigeria.

It provides mutual funds nearly everyone can invest in/through; asset/portfolio management for high net worth individuals, and other wealth management services.

But in today's post, I'll share only the mutual fund services.

Stanbic IBTC Nigerian Equity Fund (SINEF)

This is Stanbic IBTC's Equity Mutual Fund, and is the biggest in Nigeria. An Equity Mutual Fund is a pool of fund from several individual and corporate investors, invested majorly in the stock market.

Here are the details of the Fund --

  • The Fund was started in 1997.
  • Initial Price: N1,000 (Nominal Value)
  • Portfolio Allocation : Maximum 25% Fixed Income Securities, Minimum 75% Capital Market
  • Minimum Investment: N50,000 and subsequent investment of N20,000.00

Stanbic IBTC Ethical Fund (SIEF)

This is structurally same as the SINEF; only difference is that SIEF doesn't invest in Breweries and Tobacco companies.


Here are the details of the Fund --

  • The first Ethical fund to be launched in the history of the Nigerian capital market (started in 2005)
  • Allows subscribers to invest in the capital market without compromising their religious beliefs and principles

Stanbic IBTC Balanced Fund (SIBAL)

This is a less aggressive version of the SINEF. It allows for more investment in Fixed Income than the SINEF. It's the child of the NSE 2008 crash.

There is one more, the Stanbic IBTC Bond Fund. But I can't find its details anymore on the Stanbic website. It's primarily invested in Bonds. You could search through Stanbic IBTC Asset Management website, you might be lucky and find its details.

And that's all!
