This is the Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) Report – March 31, 2025
If you’re still parking your money in a bank savings account…
You’re losing while millions of Kenyans are winning.

–up from Kshs. 389.2 billion in December 2024.
That’s a massive 28% jump in just three months!
Let that sink in…
This tells you one thing:
Banks are bleeding deposits as Kenyans shift their money to Unit Trust Schemes.
And guess what?
Even the biggest banks are now offering CIS products — they don’t want to be left behind.
There are 55 approved Collective Investment Schemes, managing 234 funds, with 39 actively operating.
