Ceybank Asset Management

What Ceybank Asset Management does

Ceybank Asset Management Ltd. (operating as 'Ceybank') is a privately held Sri Lankan investment management company incorporated in 1989 and headquartered at 85 York Street, Colombo 01. It manages six open-ended unit trust funds spanning equity growth (Century Growth Fund), balanced (Unit Trust Fund), money market (Savings Plus Fund), gilt (Gilt Edge Fund and Surakum Fund), and corporate high-yield (High Yield Fund) strategies, plus a Private Wealth Management service for high-net-worth clients. Funds invest primarily in Colombo Stock Exchange equities, Sri Lankan government securities, and rated corporate debt, with daily published NAVs and transparent reporting.

The underlying technology stack is modest: a self-serve investor portal at investor.ceybank.com handles digital KYC, account onboarding, fund selection, and portfolio dashboards. There is no API, SDK, or mobile app disclosed; distribution relies primarily on the Bank of Ceylon's nationwide branch network, complemented by regional offices in Kandy, Galle, Jaffna, Negombo, and Kurunegala, and offline applications via telephone and email. The platform is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka, with four separate trustee providers (BOC Trustee, SLI Trustee, NSB Trustee, SUUTI Trustee) providing fund oversight.

Ceybank generates revenue through recurring management fees on unit trust AUM, with no publicly disclosed fee schedule. It serves individual retail investors (primary segment), corporate investors, overseas Sri Lankan/foreign investors via Inward Investment Accounts, and HNW clients through CeyMIPs private wealth. GTM is multi-channel — physical bank branch distribution, digital self-serve portal, and direct regional office relationships. Ownership is not publicly disclosed; the eight-member board includes senior executives from Bank of Ceylon and Sri Lanka Insurance, reflecting the institutional partnerships that anchor its distribution and governance.
