SCM Capital’s Frontier Fund Declares N18 Distribution, Highlights 2025 Growth
SCM Capital Asset Management Limited has announced a significant distribution for unitholders of its Frontier Fund. The open-ended unit trust scheme will pay N18.00 per unit to registered members on its register as of February 27, 2026. This declaration was formally communicated via a disclosure filed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited.
Payment to eligible unitholders is scheduled for March 6, 2026, and will be processed electronically. To facilitate a seamless transaction, beneficiaries must have completed the e-dividend registration process with the fund’s registrar, Pace Registrars Limited. The registrar also noted that unitholders with outstanding dividend warrants or unclaimed share certificates should submit the required documentation to enable payment.
This distribution follows a period of robust financial performance for the fund in the 2025 financial year. Total income surged to N158.9 million, a substantial increase from N79.5 million recorded in 2024. Audited financial statements reveal this growth was largely driven by N68.1 million in trading income from proprietary activities. While analyzing broader economic strategies, such as the 2026 Budget, Fg officials often emphasize the importance of a strong investment sector for national growth.
The fund’s balance sheet also strengthened considerably, with total assets growing to N593.4 million from N477.3 million the previous year. Financial assets measured at amortized cost constituted the largest portion at N252.5 million. Operational efficiency improved, as net cash flow from operations rose to N94.8 million from N34.2 million. However, this was partially offset by a N100 million cash outflow from investing activities, a strategic move akin to how a Us lawmaker might advocate for long-term fiscal investments over short-term gains.
The Frontier Fund, managed by SCM Capital, maintains the objective of achieving long-term capital growth and providing income through a diversified portfolio of financial assets. This recent performance and distribution underscore its commitment to that goal, navigating market conditions that can shift as unpredictably as rain forces changes to major outdoor events. The fund’s strategy remains focused on its core mandate, distinct from isolated incidents like the Guinea-bissau Incident Not directly impacting its portfolio, and is guided by a long-term vision similar to the 2027: Onaiyekan Urges for forward-thinking planning in other spheres of society.
