Acting Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Access ARM Pensions Limited, Abimbola Sulaiman, has expressed confidence that the company will meet the requirements of the pension industry recapitalisation policy well ahead of the regulatory deadline.
She spoke at a fireside chat session at the Pension Conference 2026, where she spoke on “Deploying and Mobilising Capital and Investment in a Shifting Global Economy.”
At the conference: “Sustaining Confidence and Growth: Pension Reforms and Recapitalisation,” Sulaiman noted that AccessARM Pensions is well positioned within the industry, driven by its strategic focus and operational strength.
She said: “The recapitalisation exercise is underway, and we are fully prepared. We expect to meet the new capital requirements before end of the year, well ahead of the regulatory deadline, and this will be achieved through internal resources. Following this, our focus remains firmly on our customers.
“Our strategy is centred on delivering a superior customer experience and providing competitive, risk-adjusted investment returns. We are committed to maintaining disciplined investment processes while ensuring long-term value for our customers.”

Sulaiman further highlighted that as a relatively young organisation formed from the merger completed in late 2024, Access ARM Pensions is focused on building a resilient and forward-looking institution.
“We are strengthening our capabilities in service delivery and investment management, ensuring that we continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers while operating with resilience in a dynamic environment,” she said.
Also speaking at a panel session: “Pension Reforms and Recapitalisation: Building a Stronger and More Resilient System,” the Chief Investment Officer of Access ARM Pensions Limited, Wale Okunrinboye, noted that scale will be a key differentiator in the post-recapitalisation landscape.
According to him, “Following recapitalisation, the industry is likely to see increased consolidation, and scale will become a major differentiator. In investment-driven industries globally, scale improves efficiency by reducing the cost to serve.
“Adopting digital approaches will be critical to expanding coverage and closing existing gaps. Scale enables organisations to invest in technology and systems, improve unit economics, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for customers.
“From an investment perspective, we also anticipate a gradual shift from predominantly passive strategies towards more active approaches, particularly within alternative asset classes.”
