Access ARM Pensions, a subsidiary of Access Holdings, has surpassed the ₦4 trillion mark in assets under management (AUM), marking a major milestone and highlighting strong growth momentum following the merger of Access Pensions and ARM Pensions.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the company said the achievement represents a significant increase from the less than ₦3 trillion AUM recorded after the merger in October 2024.
According to the statement, the combined entity has since accelerated growth, driven by strengthened governance structures, enhanced investment capabilities, and an expanded nationwide footprint.
“The rapid increase of over ₦1 trillion in AUM in less than 14 months reflects growing confidence among contributors, increased contribution inflows, and improved customer engagement enabled by more robust digital platforms and service channels,” the statement said.
Commenting on the development, Acting Managing Director, Abimbola Sulaiman, described the milestone as a clear indication of the trust reposed in the institution and the strength of its operating model.
“Crossing the ₦4 trillion threshold is not just a milestone; it is a strong affirmation of the confidence our clients place in Access ARM Pensions. Since the merger, we have deliberately built an institution with stronger governance, deeper investment expertise, and the scale required to deliver long-term value across economic cycles,” she said.
Sulaiman added that the growth reflects disciplined execution and a consistent focus on acting in the best interests of clients.
She further noted that innovation would remain central to the company’s growth strategy, with continued investment in technology to enhance service delivery and deepen customer engagement.
“Innovation will continue to guide how we serve our clients. By leveraging technology, data, and modern service infrastructure, we are simplifying the pension experience and building a more responsive and reliable retirement system,” she said.
“With consistent investment performance, strong risk management, and dependable service, we aim to give our clients confidence in their retirement future.”
The statement added that Access ARM Pensions currently manages over two million Retirement Savings Accounts, giving it one of the largest contributor bases in Nigeria’s pension industry.
It said the company remains focused on strengthening its investment processes, enhancing customer experience, and delivering sustainable, long-term retirement outcomes for contributors across the country.
