Kampala, Uganda – December 11, 2025 – 1Stock Limited, a leading innovator in private asset management and family office solutions, today announced its shortlisting by with.Intelligence, an S&P Global company, in the prestigious Best Asset Manager for Family Offices category at the upcoming 2026 Private Asset Management Awards. This recognition underscores 1Stock’s unwavering commitment to delivering tailored, high-performance investment strategies for ultra-high-net-worth families and institutions across Africa and beyond.
Building on its strong track record, 1Stock was previously shortlisted in the Best Credit Solution category at the 2025 Private Asset Management Awards. These awards, organized annually by with.Intelligence—a globally renowned intelligence platform under S&P Global—celebrate excellence in private markets, including private equity, private debt, real assets, and family office servicing. The awards attract entries from top-tier managers worldwide, with winners selected by an independent panel of industry experts based on rigorous criteria such as innovation, performance metrics, client outcomes, and sustainable impact. The ceremony, set to take place in New York in early 2026, will honour standout performers amid a rapidly evolving $15 trillion private asset industry, where family offices are increasingly pivotal in driving long-term value creation.
This latest accolade arrives at a pivotal moment for 1Stock, as Castle Placement supports the firm’s $5 billion fundraise. Castle Placement, a key player in private capital investment banking, is spearheading this landmark fund targeting infrastructure, real estate, and impact-driven opportunities in emerging markets. With 1Stock providing bespoke asset management expertise, the initiative aims to deploy capital into high-growth sectors like renewable energy and digital infrastructure, delivering superior risk-adjusted returns for sophisticated investors. The fund’s scale positions it as one of the largest private placements in recent years, highlighting 1Stock’s role in scaling transformative deals that bridge family office liquidity needs with institutional-grade opportunities.
Adding to the momentum, Dr. Nixon Kitimoi, CIO of 1Stock Limited, was nominated by ACCA Uganda for the Finance Transformation & Technology Award. This honour recognizes his visionary leadership in leveraging fintech and AI-driven tools to revolutionize financial services in East Africa. ACCA Uganda’s awards spotlight professionals who drive digital innovation, process efficiency, and ethical finance practices.
“Being shortlisted for Best Asset Manager for Family Offices at the 2026 Private Asset Management Awards is a testament to our team’s relentless pursuit of excellence in serving the unique needs of family offices. Coupled with our $5 billion capital raise, this recognition fuels our mission to redefine private asset management in Africa.
