The Coronation Infrastructure Fund (CIF) earned ₦1.83 billion operating profit in 2025.
Moreover, the fund released its audited financial statements to the Nigerian Exchange on January 27, 2026.
Steady Earnings Drive Coronation Growth
Almost half of the profit, ₦843.1 million, came in the second half of the year.
This shows CIF generated income steadily instead of relying on a sudden spike.
Interest Income Remains Key
Primarily, interest income drove the fund’s revenue for the year.
In total, CIF earned ₦2.08 billion in interest, mostly from placements and infrastructure-linked assets.
Placements contributed ₦1.95 billion, over 93% of total interest income.
Meanwhile, infrastructure loans added ₦135.8 million, providing a smaller but consistent revenue stream.

Other income amounted to only ₦4,000, highlighting the fund’s narrow but predictable earnings base.
Strong Margins And Payouts
CIF spent ₦249.3 million on operating expenses, up from ₦141.1 million the previous period.
Management fees formed the largest cost, followed by higher regulatory and legal expenses.
Importantly, the fund recorded no performance incentive fee, preserving strong operating margins.
Furthermore, CIF proposed a half-year cash distribution of ₦800.9 million, equivalent to ₦9.1 per unit.
Earlier, it paid a semi-annual distribution of ₦890.7 million, or ₦10.13 per unit, in July 2025.
Since inception, the fund has returned over ₦1.7 billion directly to unitholders.
CIF ended the year with total assets of ₦9.90 billion, split between cash (₦4.77 billion) and investment securities (₦5.14 billion).
Additionally, it maintained minimal liabilities of ₦66.8 million, leaving net assets of ₦9.84 billion.
By focusing on low-risk placements and infrastructure assets, CIF generated predictable returns.
Finally, it complied with SEC rules by keeping at least 90% of its portfolio in infrastructure investments.
