CEO’s Address: A Strategy Rooted in Partnership and Risk Management
Speaking at the forum, Babajide Lawani, MD/CEO of CFG Africa, emphasized the group’s client-first philosophy and its commitment to helping investors make informed, future-proof decisions.
He noted that CFG’s integrated structure enables the group to offer far more than transactional services, giving clients access to collaborative insights and deep market intelligence.
“We deliver competitive returns anchored on risk management driven by thorough research,” Lawani said.
He reiterated CFG’s dedication to supporting enterprise growth across multiple sectors including real estate, healthcare, and defence and affirmed the firm’s readiness to guide clients on major investment decisions, capital raises, and nationwide expansion plans.
Product Spotlight: The N1 Billion CFG Ethical Fund
The newly launched CFG Ethical Fund is designed as a stable, income-focused investment vehicle that prioritizes capital preservation. The SEC-registered, Shariah-compliant N1 billion unit trust excludes interest-based and non-ethical sectors, ensuring adherence to strict ethical guidelines.
The fund’s defensively structured portfolio allocates 70%–85% of assets to high-quality Sovereign and Sub-Sovereign Sukuk, complemented by Shariah-compliant fixed income and equity instruments. With an offer price of N1,000 per unit and a minimum entry of just 10 units (N10,000), the fund provides accessible, low-risk opportunities for both new and seasoned investors.
The fund is managed by CFG Asset Management Limited, with Rand Merchant Bank (RMBN) serving as Custodian and AVA Trustees Limited as Trustee.
