A private equity investment group, NVC Fund Holding Trust, has announced that it now manages over $5 trillion in assets globally. This milestone reinforces the Trust’s position as one of the most influential and diversified institutional equity investors worldwide.

According to Frank Ekejija, International Finance Executive at NVC Fund Holding Trust, the achievement reflects the group’s consistent strategy and global vision.
Ekejija said: “This milestone is a testament to our disciplined investment approach and long-standing commitment to sustainable value creation across multiple sectors.”

Founded on October 25, 2000, NVC was born out of the strategic consolidation of several legacy firms, including International Business Services, Strategic Financial Group, Samson, Gaskin and Pettit, The Unique Group, and Network Venture Capital Fund entities.

He noted: “Our foundation was built on combining strengths from industry veterans. Today, our portfolio cuts across banking, insurance, commodities, fintech, blockchain, natural resources, real estate, social media, advertising, and entertainment.”

A defining moment came in 2007, when NVC acquired 22 mineral claims in Wyoming, including one with verified reserves worth $1.3 trillion in gold, silver, platinum, and rhodium.
“That acquisition helped us pioneer a new model of monetizing in-ground assets as structured financial instruments,” he explained.

In the years that followed, NVC made bold moves to expand its financial footprint. In 2008, the group executed a $4.8 billion equity sale using alternative financial instruments and formed a $100 billion joint venture with the PAA Foundation to drive humanitarian and energy development globally.

The Trust went on to acquire a 55% stake in the Gooch Companies through a $10 billion construction financing deal in 2009. It also launched a $50 billion community banking fund via the GlobalClear platform, recapitalized Eastech International Bank with $5.5 billion, and invested $25 billion in a holding company formed from three consolidated OTC-traded firms.

NVC’s reach extends into biotech through a partnership with Immune Modulation Inc., and it manages $97 billion in gold-backed trust assets in collaboration with institutions in Brazil and Switzerland.

In 2018, the firm launched NVC Fund Coin, a digital currency built on Ethereum, expanding into blockchain-based finance. It maintains alliances with Barclays, UBS, HSBC, Europlaw Group, and US Capital Private Bank.

In 2020, the U.S. SEC filed a complaint regarding NVC’s micro-cap market activity. The Trust responded with a $6 billion counterclaim, asserting its financial instruments are “backed by real, verifiable value.”

“As we look to the future, we are open to strategic partnerships with institutions, governments, and businesses seeking long-term capital solutions,” Ekejija said.
