Kenya’s Collective Investment Schemes closed June 2026 with Ksh 948.70 billion in assets under management, up from Ksh 851.71 billion in March.
That is an increase of Ksh 96.99 billion in three months, an 11.39% rise.
The market is now just Ksh 51.30 billion away from the Ksh 1 trillion milestone.
What Is A Collective Investment Scheme?
A CIS pools money from investors for professional management. Its funds may include money market, fixed income, equity, balanced and special funds.
The rankings below compare schemes by the assets they manage.
Who Is Leading?
- Standard Investment Trust FundKsh 188.62 billion | 19.88% market share
- Sanlam Unit Trust SchemeKsh 171.38 billion | 18.06% market share
- CIC Unit Trust SchemeKsh 105.24 billion | 11.09% market share
Together, these three manage 49.04% of the entire CIS market. Almost half!
The Billion-Shilling Club
Out of 47 active schemes:
- 32 managed more than Ksh 1 billion.
- 17 managed more than Ksh 10 billion.
- The top 32 held 99.69% of total market assets.
For this review, my focus is on those 32 schemes.

What Else Stands Out?
Standard overtook Sanlam to take the top position.
Its AUM increased by Ksh 35.47 billion, accounting for 36.57% of the market’s net increase.
Growth was widespread, but not universal.
Among the top 32, 28 grew, three declined and one had no March comparison.
African Alliance Kenya declined by 19.44%, NCBA by 6.91% and Mali by 1.11%.
Now that you know how the CIS market looks like, the biggest question is,
Are you part of these investment or you have no idea what is going on?
