Stanbic, SBG Securities Launch Pension Fund Management Service

What the report says

Stanbic Bank Uganda and SBG Securities Uganda have introduced a new pension fund management service, according to SoftPower News. The launch was announced in Kampala during the inaugural Stanbic Uganda Pensions Conference, where speakers urged stronger mobilisation of long-term savings to help finance Uganda’s broader economic transformation.

SoftPower News said the conference focused on the role of the pensions sector in supporting faster economic growth, with the theme framed around accelerating the country’s “tenfold GDP” ambition. The event brought together stakeholders from the financial and pensions space to discuss how retirement savings can be channelled into productive investment and long-term national development.

The new service appears aimed at expanding access to pension management solutions through Stanbic and SBG Securities, both part of the Stanbic/Standard Bank group presence in Uganda. While the report does not provide detailed product terms, the initiative fits within a wider regional trend in which banks and investment firms are seeking to grow pension-linked savings and deepen domestic capital formation.

More broadly, pension sector reforms and mobilisation of long-term savings are often seen as important for countries seeking stable sources of investment capital. In this case, the companies’ launch underscores how financial institutions are positioning pensions as part of Uganda’s economic growth strategy.
