Africa’s long-term economic transformation will depend on the ability of its financial systems to mobilise and efficiently allocate patient capital. Asset managers sit at the centre of this ecosystem, yet continue to operate within structural and regulatory constraints that limit scale and impact.

Join the second webinar in our Diaspora Engagement Series on the Future of Asset Management in Africa as we explore how asset managers can mobilise long-term capital, opportunities across alternative asset classes, and practical pathways to deepen Africa’s capital markets.

Today’s the day.

When liquidity thins, pricing becomes unreliable. When it dries up, confidence follows, and portfolios feel it fast.

Today's webinar is a timely conversation for professionals responsible for investment decisions, risk frameworks, or market positioning.

You'll walk away understanding:

👉 How liquidity shapes asset pricing and market stability
👉 What drives fragility when markets come under stress
👉 Why liquidity management is no longer a back-office concern

Whether you’re navigating volatile markets, stress-testing portfolios, or advising clients on positioning, join Francis Tweneboah-Koduah, CFA, as he speaks directly to the decisions you’re making right now.

This session is moderated by Jennifer Boateng-Minta, CFA
