Access Pensions achieves 70% revenue growth

Access Pensions has announced a  70 per cent surge in revenue, with turnover growing  from N7 billion in 2022 to N12.3 billion in 2023.

The company’s profit before tax and profit after tax mirrored this outstanding growth trend, soaring by around 70 per cent.

Additionally, its Assets under Management (AUM) expanded by 25 per cent to reach a significant N1.2 trillion.

But more importantly, the dividend doubled from N1.10k in 2022 to N2.20k, showcasing the company’s strong performance.”

He acknowledged the late chairman, Dr. Herbert Wigwe’s visionary leadership in steering the consolidation that birthed Access Pensions.

Uduanu pledged the company’s commitment to continuing on this path of success.

Speaking on the sidelines, the Executive Director, Technical, Afolabi Folayan said, “In recent quarters, we have experienced a positive trajectory and gained significant market share, leading to a substantial increase in our Assets Under Management (AUM).

“Our current AUM stands at approximately N1.2 trillion, reflecting a remarkable 25 per cent growth compared to the previous year. Notably, our growth outpaced the market, which saw a growth rate of about 20 per cent.”
