Old Mutual targets affluent Ugandans with tailored investment solution

KAMPALA, Uganda — Old Mutual Investment Group (OMIG) Uganda has launched “Private Wealth By Old Mutual,” a new investment solution tailored for high-net-worth individuals and entities in Uganda. The product was introduced May 27 at the Sheraton Hotel in Kampala, an event that gathered more than 50 of Uganda’s leading business figures and investors.

OMIG Uganda stated that “Private Wealth By Old Mutual” addresses a significant demand from affluent investors who have outgrown conventional Unit Trusts and are actively seeking more sophisticated, diversified, and globally integrated investment opportunities. The company’s extensive research into the evolving needs of Uganda’s top-tier investors highlighted their desire for greater control, enhanced insights, and access to a broader array of wealth-building avenues.

The new offering provides convenient and efficient access to both local and international financial securities. These are managed within an actively supervised investment portfolio under a custodial environment, designed to meet a client’s specific return expectations, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and investment horizon.

Zac Kisesi, Managing Director of Old Mutual Investment Group, commented on the launch. “We listened to our clients,” Kisesi said. “Many of them had grown their wealth beyond Unit Trusts and were asking for more advanced options to generate higher returns and spread their risk.”

Kisesi added, “With Private Wealth, we’ve built a solution that combines intelligent investment design, local and global market access, and expert insights — all in one place. It’s a transformative step forward in the way wealth is managed in Uganda.” He further emphasized that the service empowers clients by providing them with “the tools, the guidance, and the platform to control their financial destiny.”

At its core, “Private Wealth By Old Mutual” offers a range of services, including customized wealth management solutions, advisory and fiduciary services, and exclusive market access to regional and global markets.

The service is available to a diverse group of qualified investors, including individuals, family offices, investment groups, alumni and scholarship funds, foundations, and endowments. This broad eligibility highlights OMIG’s commitment to serving the varied ways wealth is held and managed today.

The product is engineered for performance, targeting attractive returns while employing prudent risk management that considers varied portfolio compositions and market dynamics. OMIG underlined that the service aims to deliver peace of mind and empowerment, assuring clients that their wealth is managed by a trusted institution with a proven track record and a dedicated team committed to helping them make confident, strategic decisions to grow and preserve their financial legacy.
