Who We Are

Namibia Savings, Insurance & Investment Association (NaSIA) is an industry body with membership comprising of Namibian registered Investment Managers, Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) management companies, Linked Investment Service Providers (LISPs), Short and Long-term Insurers, as well as other industry support service providers.

NaSIA was formed in 2017 following the consolidation of three industry bodies, Association for Unit Trusts in Namibia (AUTN), Investment Managers Association of Namibia (IMAN) and the Life Assurers Association of Namibia (LAAN). In 2026, the Namibia Insurance Association (NIA) representing the country’s short-term insurance companies was also integrated into NaSIA.

The industry body is constituted as an Association not for Gain and formally registered as such under Section 21 of the Namibian Companies Act. Collectively, NaSIA members represent the majority of the country’s custodians of non-bank financial assets valued at N$…. at end of 2025.

NaSIA ENABLES THE NON-BANKING SECTOR TO SPEAK WITH ONE VOICE

NaSIA’s members are considered the custodian of the bulk of the nation’s savings and investments (i.e. the non-banking sector) and are among the country’s biggest contributors to the national GDP.

NaSIA enables the non-banking sector to speak with one voice and represents the unified goal of ensuring that the Namibian savings and investment industry remains relevant and sustainable into the future in the interest of not only of NaSIA and its members, but also the country and its citizens.

NaSIA is incorporated as a not-for profit company and is empowered by a mandate from an industry that is considered a formidable partner around Government’s negotiation table where we proactively engage on policy, regulatory and issues of common concern.

The Mission

The Association’s mission is focused on building collaborative and trust based relationships for driving inclusive financial wellness for Namibia.

NaSIA further aims to promote a culture of savings and investment in Namibia by:

Building a vibrant and globally competitive financial sector;
Leading industry transformation through impactful strategic initiaves;
Promoting fairness, transparency and ethical practices among members;
Actively driving financial education, equitable and fair treatment of consumers;
Promoting insightful research and analysis to support informed policy making and sound regulations.

The Vision

Our vision is to build a competitive non-banking financial sector contributing meaningfully to Namibia’s global competitiveness.
