What is a money market fund in Kenya?

A money market fund (MMF) is a type of unit trust that pools investors' money and invests it in low-risk, short-term instruments such as government treasury bills, commercial paper, and bank deposits. In Kenya, MMFs are regulated by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA). They offer daily liquidity, competitive market-linked returns, and low minimum investments starting from as little as KES 100, making them accessible to investors at all income levels.

Which money market funds does Serrari compare?

Serrari tracks and compares money market funds from Kenya's leading CMA-regulated fund managers, including Cytonn, Nabo Capital, Etica Capital, Arvocap, Lofty Corban, Old Mutual, Sanlam, Madison, and GenAfrica, among others. Serrari currently monitors 27+ Kenya Shilling (KES) money market funds and 13+ USD-denominated MMFs, with yields updated every business day.

What is the minimum investment for a money market fund in Kenya?

Minimum investment amounts vary by fund manager. Most CMA-regulated money market funds in Kenya accept initial investments from as little as KES 100 to KES 1,000. Several fund managers — including Cytonn, Nabo Capital, and Old Mutual — offer M-Pesa integrations with very low entry points. There is typically no upper limit on investment amounts.
