NSIA Asset Management to Open Representative Office in Togo in 2026

(Togo First) - NSIA Asset Management announced plans to open a representative office in Togo in 2026. The announcement was made during the annual meeting of the Federation of African National Insurance Companies in Abidjan.

"We plan to open offices in Togo and Mali in 2026," said Franck Olivier Diagou, CEO of NSIA Asset Management. Until now, the firm's operations in Togo have been managed from Benin.

With these new offices, the company, licensed by AMF-UEMOA, the West African securities regulator, will have a direct presence in five countries. It manages more than 230 billion CFA francs in assets and aims to channel local savings into the regional economy.

In 2025, its 10 mutual funds delivered mixed performances. The Aurore Opportunités fund recorded returns of 23.94 percent. NSIA Fonds Diversifié gained 13.13 percent, while Tawfir Halal, which complies with Islamic finance principles, rose 8.41 percent.

NSIA Asset Management is part of the NSIA Group financial conglomerate. It is entering a market where asset management is restricted to firms licensed by AMF-UEMOA, the regional financial market regulator. Key players include SGI Togo and several banking groups, most of which have dedicated asset management divisions.
