Kimpton Trust targets GH?1bn in assets as it charts next phase of growth

The Managing Director of Kimpton Trust Ghana Limited has outlined an ambitious roadmap for the company’s future, setting a target to grow its assets under management to GHS1 billion over the medium to long term.

Speaking at the company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), on March 24, 2026, he indicated that this milestone will be driven by a clear set of strategic priorities, in Accra, including strengthening cybersecurity and scalability, investing in employee development and continuous professional training, advancing product innovation, delivering superior customer service, and upholding strong corporate governance anchored in disciplined risk management and ethical leadership.

He described the AGM as a critical platform for reviewing the company’s progress and refining its strategic direction. Reflecting on KTL’s journey, he noted that about a decade ago, the company’s assets were below GHS1 million as it worked to establish institutional capacity and build market presence. Today, KTL manages over GHS400 million in assets, a growth he attributed to disciplined leadership, consistency, and the trust of stakeholders.

The Managing Director emphasized that the company’s operations are guided by its tagline, “Your Future is Bright,” which underscores its commitment to ensuring financial security and confidence for all members. He added that KTL’s client portfolio has significantly strengthened since 2016, with private pensions demonstrating resilience despite industry challenges.

He referenced key disruptions within the financial sector, including the financial sector clean-up that led to the revocation of 53 licenses, as well as the impact of the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP). Despite these challenges, he commended Pension Fund Managers for their sound judgment and acknowledged the role of the regulator in safeguarding pension assets.

Highlighting the broader role of pension funds, the Managing Director noted that, beyond delivering competitive returns, pension schemes have a vital role to play in national development. He pointed to long-term investment opportunities in areas such as real estate, road infrastructure, and green projects, adding that there is increasing recognition among stakeholders of the importance of aligning investments with economic development goals.

He further stressed the importance of professionalism, trust, and service excellence in sustaining growth and maintaining stakeholder confidence.

The Managing Director also expressed appreciation to shareholders for their continued support, as well as to the National Pensions Regulatory Authority for its role in safeguarding pension funds. He acknowledged the contributions of the Board of Directors and Trustees, and key partners, including Nobus Technology, Sentinel Asset Managers, and Zenith Bank.

He added that the company’s recent relocation from East Legon to Spintex reflects its continued growth and its commitment to positioning itself for sustained success in the years ahead.

The newly appointed Board Chairman of Kimpton Trust Mr. Joseph Nii Okine Afful said the Board was extremely happy with the clear and structured direction of the Scheme. “Continuous innovation remains essential, as outdated products and programmes can easily become obsolete, while customers remain central to everything we do because the ultimate goal is to secure a good future for contributors,” he said, adding, “Strong corporate governance and leadership continue to guide operations, ensuring accountability, compliance, and sustainable growth.”
