Summary
Ghana's Registrar-General and official Liquidator have scheduled virtual creditors meetings for September 7–11, 2020, to engage stakeholders in the formal liquidation process of 20 defunct fund management companies. The meetings will be conducted via Zoom, with each company allocated a two-hour window between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM daily. This represents the first virtual creditors meeting format deployed in response to the collapse of the FMC sector.

The 20 companies entering formal liquidation represent a subset of the 53 fund management firms whose operating licenses were revoked by Ghana's Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2019. According to Liquidator Jemima Oware, speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on September 4, the virtual format was adopted to facilitate broad creditor participation. Invitations have been distributed via SMS to registered creditors; those who have not received links are instructed to contact 0244369143 to verify and update their contact information.

The liquidation portfolio includes Alpha Cap Securities Limited, Alltime Capital Limited, Axe Capital Limited, Brooks Asset Management Limited, CDH Asset Management Limited (Intermarket), Fromfrom Capital Limited, Galaxy Capital Limited, Lifeline Asset Management Limited (Kamaag), Mak Asset Management Limited, Man Capital Limited, Mec-Ellis Investment (Ghana) Limited, Mutual Integrity Limited, Nesst Capital Limited, Nickel Keynesbury Limited, Nordea Capital Limited, Sirius Capital Limited, Standard Securities Limited, Supreme Trust Capital Limited, Tikowrie Capital Limited, and Weston Capital Management Limited.

The creditors meetings follow a High Court order authorizing the formal winding-up process and represent a key procedural step in the resolution of customer claims and asset recovery. The phased approach—addressing 20 companies initially while deferring meetings with creditors of the remaining 33 collapsed firms—suggests a structured liquidation timeline managed by the Registrar-General's office.
