The Pension Fund Assets Under Management (AuM) of Leadway Pensure PFA has risen to N1.35 trillion as of the end of the third quarter of 2025. This translates to 5 per cent of about N25 trillion Total Pension Assets.
The Fund rose from N1 trillion in 2024 to N1.35 trillion as of the end of Q3, 2025, increasing by approximately N350 billion during the period under review. The gain amounts to about 30 per cent growth within this period. The robust 3-year compounded annual growth rates across its multi-fund structure show that, while Fund I increased by 16.52 per cent, Fund II rose by 14.40 per cent, Fund III jumped by 10.04 per cent, and Fund IV soared by 12.62 per cent.
Reacting to this development, the managing director/CEO of Leadway Pensure PFA, Olusakin Labeodan, said, “These results highlight disciplined investment management and a commitment to safeguarding contributors’ retirement futures.”
He highlighted that Leadway Pensure’s digital-first approach continues to set it apart in the pension industry. It’s Leadway Instant Service Assistant (LISA). This real-time digital platform provides instant pension information and contributor engagement, enhancing the customer experience by delivering quick and seamless responses to inquiries.
On contributors’ empowerment, he noted that, through the Lead Forward Initiative, NYSC corps members are equipped with financial literacy and retirement planning education, nurturing a pension-conscious generation. According to him, “Leadway Pensure is not just a fund manager; it is an innovator integrating digital solutions and financial education into the pension experience.”
Assessing Nigeria’s pension industry, he said, it has grown into one of the country’s most influential financial pillars as the industry is not just about savings; it is a systemic driver of capital formation, economic stability, and long-term financial security. “Public trust in regulated retirement planning is on the rise, and PFAs are now recognised as the custodians of national wealth, “ he pointed out.
Stressing that there is consistent fund performance and transparency in pension management, he added that there are also accessibility and digital convenience, even as there are solutions that link pensions to real-life needs (housing, financial literacy, and long-term empowerment). Explaining the challenges in the pension sector, he disclosed that PFAs face pressure to deliver value while balancing risk, stability, and innovation.
