The Soninkara Investment Group (SIG) is an investment company registered in the Gambia in 2019. The firm has an authorized share capital of GDM 250 million. As part of its initial offering, SIG issued share capital of GMD 50 million, with a minimum subscription of GMD 104,000 (USD 2,000) per shareholder.

SIG’s vision and objectives are almost exclusively focused on the development of an investment vehicle for the vast number of soninkes in The Gambia and the Diaspora. We aim to disrupt the traditional entrepreneurial paradigm of sole proprietorships and offer an alternative of a corporate structure that is considered innovative and yielding higher return on investment. Furthermore, SIG envisions providing incentives and a new focus on target income migration for Soninkes in Diasporas, in order to change the focus from wayward migration.

The goal is to benefit from all the benefits that migration offer, while maintaining a strong bond with home (Gambia/Sub-Sahara) and its way of life, by offering strong financial stability to those at home and in the diaspora after a life of migration.

The Soninkara ethos reflects an innate trust, unity, and entrepreneurship inherent to its members. Through SIG, these characteristics are forged into an entity poised to be a force in The Gambia and sub-Saharan Africa. Through collaboration amongst its members, it is well positioned to make full use of the synergies embedded within its membership to become an integral part of the Gambia’s  economy in terms of job creation, community development, and the general wellbeing of its stakeholders.
