Besides a master fund, NIIF, which is the country’s first quasi sovereign wealth fund, also creating a fund of funds, where it will anchor fund manager and help them raise capital to create fund management institutions that can grow overtime. He said that there are very strong fund management companies in the country that have evolved over the past couple of decades.
