Namibians, It’s Time to Invest Beyond – Old Mutual Launches the World Wide Equity Fund

For years, investing in global companies felt like something out of reach for most Namibians. Big names like Apple, Tesla, or even healthcare innovators in Europe seemed reserved for the financial elite in foreign markets. But not anymore.
On June 19, 2025, Old Mutual Namibia, through the Old Mutual Investment Group (OMIGNAM), launched a powerful new investment vehicle — the Worldwide Equity Fund — giving everyday Namibians a front-row seat to global wealth creation.

What Is the World Wide Equity Fund?

It’s more than just another investment product. It’s a gateway.
This fund offers Namibians access to a diversified portfolio of leading companies across global markets — including developed economies like the U.S. and Europe, and high-growth emerging markets across Asia and beyond.
From renewable energy to healthcare, digital tech to e-commerce — the fund is designed to future-proof your money by investing in companies shaping tomorrow’s world.

Managed by Namibians, For Namibians
What makes this fund even more meaningful? It’s managed right here at home.
A team of qualified Namibian portfolio managers — with over 40 years of combined experience — is leading this fund. They understand the local market, our challenges, and our ambitions. And now, they’re guiding us into global markets with skill and confidence.

As Lionel Kannemeyer, Managing Director of the Old Mutual Investment Group, puts it:

“We believe this is what true localization looks like — not limiting opportunity to borders but delivering global access through local talent.”

Why This Matters for You
Whether you’re a student, a small business owner, a teacher, or a nurse — this fund is designed for you.

Old Mutual is saying:

You don’t need to live in New York to invest on Wall Street.
You don’t need to move to Europe to be part of the clean energy boom.
You don’t need to be rich to build wealth.
You just need the right platform, support, and vision. That’s exactly what this fund delivers.

From Rundu to the World: Real Examples
A teacher in Rundu could now invest in the same fund as a banker in Frankfurt.
A nurse in Windhoek might co-own a Swiss healthcare firm through the fund.
A young graduate in Keetmanshoop can diversify their savings into global innovation.

This is the power of democratized investment. It’s wealth creation without borders — and Namibia is ready.

It says:

We are no longer bystanders to global progress.
We are investors, stakeholders, and dreamers with a seat at the table.
We deserve not just access, but representation in the global economy.

“The world is now within reach — and it begins right here, with Old Mutual Namibia.”
