Corporate golf days are making a cautious comeback after the disruption of Covid-19, much to the relief of the golf clubs in the country.

Last time I&M Bank Corporate golf day was held was at Muthaiga Golf Club in 2019.

This year’s corporate golf day was powered by the newly launched Wealth Management Unit run by I&M Capital, a subsidiary of the I&M Group PLC. The unit offers customized Investment Solutions, Asset Management, Retirement Income and Financial Planning and seeks to help clients diversify their assets in order to balance their financial risks.
