OMIG inspires innovation with annual Agents Awards and new incentives

The Old Mutual Investment Group (OMIG), a black-owned African investment manager with a strong history of fostering investment growth, hosted the 2025 Annual Agents Awards and Incentives Launch.

Held at the Golf Course Hotel in Kampala, the event brought together hundreds of OMIG sales agents eager to celebrate the winners and learn about the year’s exciting new incentives.

With a focus on delivering exceptional Integrated Financial Services (IFS) in 2025, OMIG remains dedicated to driving sales growth and enhancing customer experiences through innovation.

One of the guest speakers, Mr. Apollo Mboowa, Manager of Financial Literacy at the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), shared valuable insights and encouraged agents to reflect on the value they create—emphasizing that the world celebrates those who add real value. Mboowa also highlighted the power of unit trusts in growing wealth and savings.

“The world celebrates value, and in the realm of financial literacy where I work, we engage only with people of value. Each of us has an economic value attached to our lives, but in the financial world, that value can truly be realized,” said Mboowa.

Joel Korir, Head of Retail and Private Wealth Distribution at Old Mutual Kenya, also addressed the agents, stressing the importance of building a portfolio through unit trusts and positioning oneself as a trusted financial advisor.

“If you haven't been focused on building your portfolio, now is the time to use unit trusts to secure your pension fund. Be a trusted financial advisor, not just an agent. When you are a trusted financial advisor, you become a brand on your own,” said Joel.

Zac Kisesi, Managing Director of Old Mutual Uganda, congratulated the winners and encouraged them to reflect on their achievements while building on last year’s success to reach even greater results in the coming year.

The winners—who received gift hampers and certificates—were recognized in categories such as Top Ten Units in Net Inflows, Agents with the Most New Clients Per Month, Half Year Performance, and Top Agents in Net Inflows Per Month.
