National Social Security Fund Invests 20000 in Seed Round for Promising Company

In a significant move to bolster its operations and enhance social security services for the Ugandan workforce, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF Uganda) has successfully raised UGX 20,000 in funding. As a mandated national saving scheme, NSSF Uganda operates under the National Social Security Fund Act, Cap 222, providing vital social safety net services to employees in the private sector. This recent funding will be instrumental in ensuring that NSSF continues to uphold its commitment to protecting and securing the financial futures of its members, particularly in a rapidly evolving economic landscape. NSSF Uganda is not just a Provident Fund; it is a cornerstone of financial security for many Ugandan employees, with contributions from both employers and employees at rates of 10% and 5% of gross monthly wages, respectively. Under stringent regulation by the Uganda Retirement Benefits Regulatory Authority, and with policy oversight from the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, NSSF Uganda manages an impressive asset portfolio of over UGX 10 trillion. These assets are strategically invested across Fixed Income, Equities, and Real Estate within the East African region, generating returns that directly benefit the Fund’s members. The new funding will be allocated towards enhancing technological infrastructure and expanding financial product offerings to ensure that all Ugandan workers have access to the social security services they deserve. As NSSF Uganda continues to grow and evolve, this capital raise marks a pivotal step in furthering its mission to foster economic stability and provide a safety net for all Ugandan employees.
