🌐 Kenya's Capital Markets Embrace Innovation and Expansion The Capital Market Authority (CMA) continues to shape Kenya’s financial future with two significant developments: 1️⃣ Kenya’s 42nd Fund Manager: Kenyan Alliance Asset Management joins the market, signaling growing interest in professional fund management. This development provides more options for investors seeking diversified portfolios and expert management. 2️⃣ Yeshara Tokens Ltd Enters the Sandbox: The admission of Yeshara Tokens Limited to test tokenized real estate securities marks a bold step into financial innovation. Tokenization could democratize access to Kenya's real estate market, allowing fractional ownership and unlocking global investment opportunities. 🔑 Key Takeaway: CMA CEO Wyckliffe Shamiah’s emphasis on tokenization highlights its potential to revolutionize Kenya’s capital markets by enhancing liquidity, transparency, and inclusivity. 💡 Looking Ahead: - How will tokenized assets reshape investment behavior? - Will regulatory frameworks keep pace with the technology's rapid evolution? Kenya is positioning itself as a leader in financial innovation. Are we witnessing the dawn of a new era for Kenyan investors? Share your thoughts!

BlackRock's Emily Fletcher highlights Africa's market struggles but fails to acknowledge the firm's own role in perpetuating the continent's investment gap. With only 1.2% of BlackRock's assets allocated to Africa, it's clear that the world's largest asset manager is not doing enough to support African growth. It's time for BlackRock to put its money where its mouth is and invest in Africa's potential. #BlackRock #Africa #AfricaDeservesBetter #InvestInAfrica #EmergingMarkets https://lnkd.in/ej8p9sq4

In light of the recent revision by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), reducing the minimum investment threshold into Special Funds, we are delighted to announce a corresponding adjustment within our product offerings. Henceforth, we have lowered the minimum investment requirement for the Kuza Momentum Fund to KES 250,000 (from KES 1,000,000), accompanied by a minimum top-up threshold of KES 100,000. The Kuza Momentum Fund has recorded a Year-to-Date performance of 19.44% (as of 22nd March 2024). The Fund has a minimum lock-in period of 6 months. We believe that equities will be the asset class with the highest expected return as the year progresses due to the cheap valuations and strengthening Kenya shilling. Unsurprisingly, the Fund is over-weight the Equities Asset Class. We expect the fund’s performance to continue being very competitive as investors ride the asset class’ upward momentum. Don't miss out on this opportunity to maximize your investment returns. Join us as we make investing more accessible! With a reduced minimum investment and competitive returns, our Momentum Fund is your ticket to financial growth. Invest with us today. #kuzamomentumfund

think about it
Even the almighty Blackrock, with asset under management of close to $9.5 trillion, cannot solve the current paralysis in Nigeria as iShares Frontiers fund goes: “BlackRock, one of the world’s leading asset managers, has announced plans to liquidate its iShares exchange-traded funds (ETFs) valued at $400 million, citing unprofitable business conditions in Nigeria and Kenya...The fund will cease trading and the creation and redemption of creation units will halt after market close no earlier than August 12, 2024.’ Nigeria needs to promptly reverse the Naira floating and/or fuel subsidies, as both cannot happen simultaneously. If not, the bleeding will continue as Nigeria cannot attain stability with both intact in the next five years. I write this with pain because unless we correct these policies, many challenging moments await, as I wrote in June 2023: “Nigeria’s floating of its currency, while progressive, will cause severe perturbations in the economy – and a stable state may not come as most experts have predicted.” And I repeat, a stable state will not come. Making this observation does not make me unpatriotic; I am patriotic. I just want our leaders to #lead.

You know the drought is at its peak when even the vultures are dying. Nigeria and Kenya have a lot of work to do to create value, improve exports and ultimately strengthen their economies. An this work must begin with the Ministries of Industrialization.

Entrepreneur/Investor.....Co-Founder BAND, Sovereign's Capital, FaithDrivenEntrepreneur.org, FaithDrivenInvestor.org and GenerosityBayArea.org
When you think of Faith Driven Investor(ing) in Africa. What comes to mind? handicrafts? fair trade coffee? All fine things, but there are dozens of great funds, that invest in TECHNOLOGY...and at scale with top quartile returns and in $USD. You see, there is indeed a fortune at the "bottom of the pyramid" as they call it, and great, world class technology firms are scaling to meet the billions of people entering in to the marketplace in what is known as the "emerging markets". There are lots and lots of secular investors that are jumping in the game investing in great funds like the Ventures Platform Fund, but when we, motivated by our faith come to learn about the "why" of some of these incredible fund managers like Dr. Dotun Olowoporoku and Kola A., featured in tonight's video, we need to ask ourselves if, as stewards of the capital that God has entrusted us with if we shouldn't be looking hard at funds like Kaleo Ventures, Future Africa, Sango Capital, Talanton, Aruwa Capital Management, HealthCap Africa, Verdant Frontiers Fintech Fund, SAAD Investment Holdings and others led by Faith Driven Investors that endeavor to succeed in financial returns in emerging markets, advancing God's Kingdom while bearing witness to the KING as they do so. Check, of course, with your financial advisor as to whether investing in private equity funds is appropriate for you.
