13th March 2026
Assets Under Management (AuM) of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) rose from GH¢20.4billion in 2024 to GH¢25billion in 2025, marking a 25 percent increase in the Trust’s investment portfolio within a year.
The Director-General of SSNIT, Kwesi Afreh Biney, disclosed this during the Trust’s Regional Forum with the Trades Union Congress held on Monday in Wa.
According to him, the growth reflects the steady performance of the Trust’s investments across several sectors of the economy.
“This is a scheme that continues to grow. Many of our investments are performing well, and we are also making efforts to turn around assets that were previously underperforming,” he said.
Mr. Afreh Biney cited the turnaround of La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, which had recorded losses for several years but posted an audited profit of GH¢1.7million in 2025.
He added that Labadi Beach Hotel also delivered strong financial results, recording profits of more than GH¢77million during the year under review.
The SSNIT Director-General explained that the Trust’s investment portfolio spans nearly all sectors of the economy, including financial services, oil and gas, energy, education, healthcare, hospitality and manufacturing.
As of December 2025, there were 39 listed companies on the Ghana Stock Exchange, with SSNIT holding shares in 22 of them. The Trust also maintains investments in eight commercial banks and the telecommunications sector.
In addition, SSNIT’s management plans to invest about US$259million in Cenit Energy, an independent power producer wholly owned by the Trust.
Beyond investment activities, SSNIT has continued to engage workers across the country through public education initiatives focused on pension awareness.
These programmes aim to educate workers on retirement planning, the factors that influence pension benefits and how contributors can secure adequate income after retirement.
The ongoing regional forum forms part of these efforts and is being held under the theme “Deepening Pension Literacy across Ghana.”
