The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of First Finance Company Limited, Gloria Akoto, picked up an honorary award in pensions category at the just ended Forty under 40 Achievers Awards held at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra.
Forty under 40 Awards is an initiative of Xodus Communications Limited, which seeks to identify, honour and celebrate a cross- section of the nation’s most influential and accomplished young business leaders under the age of forty from a wide range of sectors.
The prestigious award is in recognition of her dedication and commitment to building the financial sector as well as being highly respected in advocating for best practices in the field.
Speaking to the media after receiving the awards, Gloria Akoto expressed gratitude to her family, friends, staff and clients for their commitment to pushing the vision and mission of the company.
“I am very excited about this award, I thank my husband, the board, shareholders and the staff. I dedicate this to our valued clients as we celebrate customer service week.”
Gloria Akoto took the opportunity to call on on the public to make adequate plans early towards their retirement in order to have a comfortable retirement.
She further said various goals needed to be set for different investment products instead of lumping all investment needs into one.
She said Mutual Funds are particularly a sure way to create wealth.
First Finance Company Limited is an Asset Management company licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Ghana.
The company launched two mutual funds at the time that the Asset Management industry was going through a restructuring exercise by the regulator.
