The LeapFrog, ARM Pensions partnership began in June 2018. The investment is a continuation of LeapFrog’s focus on pensions in the West African market, following its successful exit from Ghana’s Petra Trust in February 2018. LeapFrog worked closely with the Petra Trust team to grow the business to become the largest independent pensions provider in Ghana, achieving 76% GAGR over the period of LeapFrog’s investment. The investment also builds on LeapFrog’s partnership with ARM Group following a 2012 co-investment into ARM Life, a high-growth insurer.

Founded in 2005, ARM Pensions is one of the first Pension Fund Administrators (PFA) to be granted a license by the National Pension Commission. The company is majority owned by ARM Group, Nigeria’s largest and most respected non-bank financial institution, and the country’s largest independent asset manager.
