The Best Money Market Funds in Kenya

Money market funds are among the best investments in Kenya. Their high-interest rates, low volatility, and greater liquidity make them less susceptible to fluctuation and reliable sources of emergency funds.

These are the best money market funds in Kenya, and you may start investing with a minimal amount according to their requirements.

 

  1. Cytonn Money Market Fund (CMMF)

Cytonn is the best-performing money market fund with high-interest rates of 10% per annum. Unlike other market funds, you can start with a minimum of Ksh 100 for an investment and top up at your convenient time.

You can read our previous post on how to top up your Cytonn account. The method is still easy, and you can do it anytime.

Creating an account is relatively easy. You can either use a USSD code or apply for membership online. Using the Cytonn mobile app makes it even easier.

Cytonn Money Market Fund (CMMF)

Cytonn Money Market Fund allows instant withdrawals to your Mpesa. Withdrawing more than Ksh 300,000 takes 2 to 4 working days before receiving the money in your bank account.

Cytonn also has a very supportive and understanding support team. Usually, you will get a response in less than 24 hours. You will receive a weekly update on the funds right in your email.

There’s no entry fee, and Cytonn Money Market Fund is the best option if you invest for the first time.  You can use the Cytonn Money Market Fund (USD) if you live overseas or would like to make deposits in USD.

The application form is available online, and you can also sign up for CMMF to get regular updates before investing in Cytonn.

 

  1. Sanlam Money Market Fund

Like Cytonn, Sanlam is another good starting point for young investors and veterans. You need a minimum of Ksh 2,500 to start investing.

Top-ups are flexible, allowing you to add at least Ksh 1,000 to your account, slightly higher than Cytonn. Top-ups are optional.
