RMB Nigeria Asset Management Limited (RMBN AM) has received a two-notch credit rating upgrade to ‘A+’ for its RMBN Money Market Fund from Agusto & Co., Nigeria’s leading rating agency.
The upgrade reflects the Fund’s high-quality asset base, strong liquidity profile and disciplined risk management approach, and reinforces its position as a credible money market investment option in Nigeria’s evolving market environment.
