The Winners, The Shock, and The Reality Check!
Arvocap posted a mixed but revealing performance in Quarter 1, 2026
And if you’re an investor, this is a moment of truth.
Let’s break it down.
Top Performing Funds:
The Thamani Equity Fund dominated the quarter with a 7.93% return.
This translates to:
50.81% return over the last 12 months
83.92% growth since inception
This is currently the best-performing fund across the 8-fund portfolio.
It is an equity fund focused on the Nairobi Securities Exchange—and it has rewarded investors who understand volatility and stay the course.
Right behind it was the Almasi Fixed Income Fund with a 4.72% quarterly return, delivering:
21.60% return over the last 12 months
49.22% growth since inception
This is a moderate-risk fund, anchored in government and high-quality corporate bonds.
But Here’s Where It Gets Interesting…
Out of the 8 funds:
6 posted negative returns in Q1 2026
Africa Equity Special Fund → -0.99%
Global Equity Special Fund → -4.28%
Multi-Asset Strategy Fund → -3.96%
Eurofix Fixed Income Fund → -1.45%
Mabruk Sharia Fund → – 0.10%
Sharia Global Equity Fund → -0.86%
This has caused jitters across the investment space.
The big question is:
What really happened?
Quarter 1 was not normal.
Global geopolitical shocks triggered one of the most disruptive market resets in recent memory, affecting multiple asset classes simultaneously.
And many investors are still processing it.
And this is the very reason I will be having an intensive conversation with Arvocap Asset Managers Co-founder and Chief Investment Officer, Wilson Wariari,
This will go down this week on Tuesday.

So, What Should You Take From This?
- Investing Is Not A Smooth Journey
There will be seasons of gains… and seasons of pressure.
- Negative Returns Are Part Of The Game
They are not a signal to panic—they are a test of your strategy.
- Resilience Beats Reaction
The investors who win are those who stay patient and consistent.
- Know Your Risk Appetite
Don’t chase returns blindly. Align your investments with your goals.
Higher risk = higher potential returns
But also higher volatility
Now I want to hear from you:
