EFFECTS OF FIRM CHARACTERISTICS ON THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF PENSION FUND ADMINISTRATORS IN NIGERIA
Abstract
This study explores the impact of firm characteristics on the financial performance of Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) in Nigeria. In recent years, the Nigerian pension industry has experienced significant growth, driven by regulatory reforms and increasing public awareness. However, the financial performance of PFAs varies widely, prompting an investigation into the underlying factors contributing to these disparities.
The research focuses on key firm characteristics, including firm size, capital structure, management efficiency, ownership structure, and investment strategies, to determine their influence on financial performance indicators such as return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and net profit margin (NPM). Utilizing a quantitative approach, the study analyzes data from a sample of PFAs over a defined period, applying statistical methods such as regression analysis to establish relationships between the firm characteristics and financial outcomes.
Findings reveal that larger PFAs with diversified investment portfolios and efficient management practices tend to outperform smaller firms with less diversified portfolios. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of adequate capitalization and prudent capital structure in enhancing financial performance. Ownership structure, particularly the presence of foreign ownership, also plays a significant role in influencing financial outcomes.
The study concludes that firm characteristics are crucial determinants of financial performance in the Nigerian pension industry. It recommends that PFAs focus on optimizing these characteristics to improve their competitiveness and financial sustainability. These findings have implications for policymakers, regulators, and industry stakeholders in shaping strategies that promote the long-term stability and growth of the pension sector in Nigeria.
