COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT SCHEMES An Overview There were forty six (46) operational & registered Unit Trust Schemes, three (3) Real Estate Investment Trust Schemes (REITS), and one (1) Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). The Unit Trust Schemes and REITS had a combined total Net Asset Value (NAV) of N 152.2 billion in 2013 compared to 44 operational Unit Trust Schemes and two REITs with a combined total NAV of N104.6 billion as at December 2012. This represents an increase of 45.5% which is attributed to the general growth of the market, authorization of new Schemes as well as the growth of existing schemes. The Market Capitalization of the Exchange Traded Fund was № 277.8 million as at December 2013, a decrease from N 1.013 billion as at December 2012, this represents a decline of about 73%. The decrease was attributed to the fall in the price of Gold (the underlying asset of the ETF) as well as the substantial redemption of units of the ETF by the issuer among other factors. Private Equity, Infrastructure and Venture Capital Funds also had a combined NAV of N80, 534,009,109.93 for the period.
