Harvest Asset Management closed FY2025 with assets under management (AUM) exceeding CFA500 billion, according to figures released by the company. The milestone, reached as of December 31, reflects what management described as the strength of its positioning in a rapidly changing financial environment.
The company said the achievement is part of a steady growth trajectory built over several years. Harvest attributes this performance to a structured model combining a diversified range of savings and investment solutions, designed to meet the needs of different investor profiles, a secure digital client platform, and management processes described as rigorous. Marc Kamgaing, chief executive officer, said the firm’s ongoing ambition is to mobilize regional savings, allocate them efficiently, and offer solutions aligned with investors’ evolving needs.
Deputy chief executive officer in charge of portfolio management and commercial activities Franky Bunang said the new threshold reflects both the consistency of the results delivered by investment teams and the ability of the sales force to remain closely aligned with market expectations.
Capital base and CEMAC compliance
Founded in 2017, Harvest Asset Management has a share capital of CFA1 billion, well above the CFA300 million minimum required under CEMAC regulations. The company highlights growth driven by active management, a diversified product offering, and a strong digital footprint. It presents itself as a regional pioneer, noting that it was the first asset manager in the zone to launch an online client platform aimed at strengthening transparency and proximity with investors.
According to the Central African Financial Market Supervisory Commission (Cosumaf), Harvest accounted for 47.46% of market share in the CEMAC zone in 2024. The firm offers seven mutual funds spanning key segments, including money market, bond, and equity funds, and says its products are tailored to a wide range of investor profiles, supported by in-depth knowledge of regional markets.
The company said it plans to further strengthen its offering in 2026, expand its footprint, and support economic transitions across the CEMAC zone, building on principles of responsibility, transparency, and innovation.
