DLM Asset Management, a subsidiary of DLM Capital Group, continues to strengthen its position in Nigeria’s collective investment schemes market, driven by strong fund performance, disciplined investment management and growing investor confidence.
Since the launch of the DLM Money Market Fund in 2025, the firm has remained focused on providing investors with liquidity, capital preservation and competitive returns through investments in high quality short-term money market instruments. The fund has steadily gained market traction, reinforcing DLM Asset Management’s commitment to delivering professionally managed investment solutions that meet the evolving needs of individual and institutional investors.
A key development during the first half of the year was the appointment of Kelechi Eke as Managing Director in January 2026. She is a seasoned investment professional with over 14 years of experience in financial services. She is a member of the Association of Corporate and Investment Advisers of Nigeria (CIIA) and an Associate of Women in Management, Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ).
Since assuming leadership, Kelechi has leveraged her extensive institutional knowledge and investment management expertise to drive the firm’s strategic growth. Under her leadership, DLM Asset Management has recorded a threefold increase in total Assets Under Management (AUM) compared to 2025, reflecting disciplined execution, consistent investment performance and growing investor confidence.
The firm’s strong performance has also earned independent industry recognition. In its 2026 rankings of Nigeria’s best-performing money market funds, Nairametrics consistently ranked the DLM Money Market Fund among the country’s leading performers throughout the first half of the year. The fund ranked third by year-to-date yield in May 2026, delivering a return of 20.12%, and remained among the top five in June with a 19.68% year-to-date yield. These rankings underscoring the strength of the fund’s investment strategy and its ability to consistently deliver competitive risk-adjusted returns in a dynamic market environment.
Building on this momentum, DLM Asset Management remains focused on expanding its suite of investment products, enhancing client experience and deepening its presence across Nigeria’s investment landscape. With a commitment to innovation, prudent risk management and long-term value creation, the firm is well positioned to continue delivering sustainable investment outcomes while contributing meaningfully to the growth and development of Nigeria’s capital market.
