BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Old Mutual Life Assurance Company has declared a 94% return on its Guaranteed Fund for the year 2025, an increase from 37% declared in 2024.
Announcing the fund’s performance, Old Mutual Life Assurance Company Managing Director Mark Mikwamba, described the result as a reflection of the company’s disciplined investment approach and long-standing commitment to protecting and growing members’ retirement savings.
Mikwamba said “It is a strong result that we are proud of, but what makes it truly significant is not just the number, it is what the number represents.
“It reflects disciplined investment decision-making, a robust fund structure, and our commitment to growing and protecting our members’ retirement savings. The 94% is proof that our strategy works.”
According to Mikwamba, when markets are broadly favourable, most funds will perform well.
“The real differentiator is what happens when markets turn. Our Guaranteed Fund is built with a smoothing mechanism that protects members from market volatility both on the way up and on the way down. That consistency over full market cycles is what sets us apart,” he said.
Mikwamba therefore assures that the company remains committed to the principles that have underpinned the fund’s long-term performance and always declaring returns that beat inflation.
The Old Mutual Guaranteed Fund is the largest investment fund in Malawi offered to retirement funds, comprising three access structures including Segregated Funds, the Unrestricted Fund, and the Preservation Fund (Protektor).
