Brands We Love: Asset And Resource Management Holding Company (ARM)

The Asset and Resource Management Holding Company (ARM) is a financial services provider headquartered in Lagos, with branches across Nigeria. The institution specializes in the delivery of various financial products, including pensions, trusteeship, life insurance, private equity, and mutual funds. It’s also involved in real estate, infrastructure and agriculture.

ARM started out in 1994 as an asset management firm. Over the years, it has expanded its roster of services and has received patronage from a diverse and growing customer base. It continues to run with a vision to be “the preferred financial partner in Africa”, and enable access to “global wealth creation opportunities” for people on the continent.

As a Holding Company, ARM delivers its various services under distinct sub-entities. One of them, ARM Stocktrade, provides individuals with a digital platform on which they can buy and sell stocks. The platform avails them of market research tools and other resources with which they can effectively manage their trading accounts.

High Net Worth persons can work with ARM’s Private Wealth Management team to build and manage their wealth. This segment of the company’s operations analyzes their clients’ needs and the options available for growing the wealth. Next, they come up with an investment strategy that’s in line with their client’s desires. They also review portfolios on an ongoing basis and rebalance them as conditions change.

The pension segment of ARM’s operations has gained some traction in recent times. It’s now one of the better-known names in the pension space, thanks in part to the sustained promotion that it’s gotten. Its products in this category include contributory pensions, micro pension schemes, and voluntary contributions. The teams at ARM Pension say that they’ve designed their offerings for a diverse clientele, including artisans and traders, professionals, self-employed persons, and private and public sector workers.

As one of the largest non-bank financial institutions in Nigeria, ARM seems on course to accomplish its vision. It could gain a place at the global table for financial institutions if it continues to accelerate its movement on its current growth trajectory.
