Asset Owners
Public, private and occupational retirement funds — the anchor of Africa’s long-term domestic capital.
Pension funds hold the largest pools of long-duration domestic capital on the continent. Their liability profiles, regulatory investment limits and governance structures shape how much capital can flow into infrastructure, private markets and local-currency instruments. ASFI’s Sustainable Asset Owners platform helps C-suite asset owners and capital allocators build climate-resilient portfolios beyond domestic concentration.
