GVCA pension industry roundtable promotes diversification, investment risk management

This formed the focus of the Ghana Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (GVCA) Limited Partner (LP) and Pension Industry Roundtable, held last week in partnership with the Ghana Investment Support Programme (GhISP) and Stanbic Investment Management Services (SIMS).

The roundtable brought together pension trustees, regulators, policymakers, institutional investors, fund managers and development partners to examine the practical considerations, governance structures, and investment strategies that underpin private capital investing.

Pension funds are increasingly being encouraged to diversify their investment portfolios beyond traditional government securities into private equity and venture capital as stakeholders seek to unlock long-term financing for Ghana's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
