Lotus Capital Limited – Nominated for Investor of the Year at MOI Awards

Lotus Capital Limited has carved a unique niche in Nigeria’s investment landscape as a pioneer of Shariah-compliant finance.

Under the leadership of Hajara Adeola, the firm has provided asset management, wealth management, and advisory services rooted in ethical investing.

Over the past year, the company gained significant attention when it launched the “Lotus Waqf (Endowment) Fund”, Nigeria’s first SEC-registered endowment fund that channels investment returns into social empowerment, education, and healthcare.

This move underscores Lotus’s dual mission: delivering financial returns while enabling social good. The fund attracted wide coverage for its novel blend of investment and philanthropy, evidencing that sophisticated capital can also drive positive impact.

Lotus also maintains strong underwriting standards, low leverage, and high risk-management discipline, which has helped secure an upgraded credit rating.

By aligning capital markets with community outcomes, Hajara Adeola and Lotus Capital Limited demonstrate how investment firms can go beyond profit and contribute to nation-building.

Their nomination for Investor of the Year reflects this aspirational combination of impact, innovation, and integrity.
