Foremost Capital Surpasses ₦60 Billion AUM in Six Months, Eyes Ethical Investment Expansion

Foremost Capital Limited, a newly established and SEC-licensed asset management company, has achieved a remarkable milestone by exceeding ₦60 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) within just six months of operation. The firm offers a wide array of financial products and services, ranging from portfolio and fund management to liquidity optimisation and financial advisory. It provides both conventional and Shariah-compliant investment options, catering to a broad and diverse clientele.

This rapid growth comes amid a challenging investment climate where many investors are divesting from other firms. Yet, Foremost Capital has distinguished itself through an innovative, client-centered approach. Its rise reflects increasing trust from investors who are looking for transparency, solid returns, and modern financial solutions. The company’s ability to thrive in such conditions underlines its strategic advantage and performance-driven focus.

At a recent investment forum in Abuja, Managing Director and CEO Emmanuel Akehomen attributed the company’s success to its core philosophy of blending purpose with performance. He emphasized that Foremost Capital is not just another new entrant but a market leader in the making, with a bold vision to become Africa’s most innovative and trusted asset manager. According to him, the company is redefining wealth creation by integrating ethical and conventional investment methods.

Akehomen revealed that part of the company’s long-term strategy is to reshape Nigeria’s asset management sector through innovation and discipline. He stated that Foremost Capital is preparing to launch mutual fund products denominated in both naira and U.S. dollars. These will include Shariah-compliant and conventional options, aiming to offer more inclusive and flexible opportunities for Nigerian and international investors.

To enhance customer experience and improve accessibility, the firm also plans to introduce the Foremost Capital App. This digital platform will ensure seamless service delivery, enable clients to manage their investments efficiently, and offer sustainable, competitive returns. As the company scales up, its digital and diversified strategy positions it strongly within the increasingly tech-driven financial ecosystem in Nigeria and beyond.
