Best Performing Money Market Funds As at 3rd June 2026 ➖ (30 MMFs Analyzed)

Only 2 Money Market Funds crossed the 10% net return threshold after tax.

🏆 Special Mention Goes To:

1️⃣ Nabo Money Market Fund ➖ 10.62%

2️⃣ Cytonn Money Market Fund ➖ 10.24%

The rest of the top performers were also very competitive:

3️⃣ Etica Money Market Fund ➖ 9.50%

4️⃣ ArvoCap Money Market Fund ➖ 9.11%

5️⃣ Lofty Corban MMF ➖ 9.10%

6️⃣ Enwealth Money Market Fund ➖ 8.95%

7️⃣ Faulu Money Market Fund ➖ 8.92%

8️⃣ Kuza Money Market Fund ➖ 8.90%

9️⃣ Madison Money Market Fund ➖ 8.87%

🔟 Jubilee Money Market Fund ➖ 8.71%

Key Insights:

The average return across the 30 MMFs analyzed now stands at 7.77% after tax.

Top 3 Movers This Month:

✔️Equity Money Market Fund improved from 4.38% to 5.06% (+0.68%)

✔️Nabo Money Market Fund improved from 11.96% to 12.49% (+0.53%)

✔️KCB Money Market Fund declined from 9.13% to 8.70% (-0.43%)

Now, here is where it gets interesting…

Macroeconomic Shift in June:

👉 Inflation Rate rose from 5.6% to 6.7%

Treasury Bill rates also continued rising:

🔸 91-Day T-Bill: 8.32% → 8.39%

🔸 182-Day T-Bill: 8.21% → 8.25%

🔸 364-Day T-Bill: 8.56% → 8.63%

👉 Central Bank Rate (CBR) remained unchanged at 8.75%

What Does This Mean?

We are gradually entering a higher interest rate environment.

And historically, when Treasury Bill yields rise, Money Market Fund returns also tend to gradually adjust upwards over time.

This is why blindly choosing any MMF is a mistake.

If you are building your:

✔️ Emergency Fund

✔️ Sinking Fund

✔️ Short-Term Investment Pool

Then the quality of your MMF manager matters.

Because the difference between earning 5% and 10% annually compounds massively over time.

A weak MMF quietly destroys your purchasing power.

A strong MMF helps you preserve liquidity while steadily compounding your wealth.

And now, with inflation at 6.7%, the real battle is no longer just returns.

It is whether your money is growing faster than inflation.

20.51% Arvocap Almasi Fixed Income Fund ➖ My Second Investment Recommendation In Kenya.

Yesterday, I shared two of my favorite investment funds that I personally use to grow my wealth:

✔️Mansa-X Special Fund

✔️ Arvocap Almasi Fixed Income Fund

If you have followed me for some time or interacted with me personally, then you already know one thing about me:

I only recommend what I use.

Yes, I can review different investment opportunities here, but when it comes to where I personally invest my money, I do not hesitate to highlight my preferred funds.

Yesterday, we handled Mansa-X Special Fund.

Today, let’s get deeper into the Arvocap Almasi Fund.

Almasi Fund is an exceptional fixed income fund created with one objective in mind:

➖ Grow your wealth while preserving your capital.

Their strategy is simple:

They strategically buy government and corporate bonds in the secondary market and actively trade them for attractive margins.

This is not a passive fixed income fund.

And that is exactly why it stands out.

I usually say this is one of the best alternatives for people who want to invest in government bonds but:

🔹 Don’t know where to start

🔹 Cannot access good opportunities

🔹 Or simply don’t have the time to monitor the market

Arvocap handles that for you.

Now, let us revisit my client, Christine.

I created for her a 10-year Almasi Fund projection, and here is what we got:

🔵 Investor: Christine

📌 Initial Deposit: Ksh 100,000

📌 Monthly Top-Up: Ksh 100,000

📌 Average Return: 20% Gross (17% Net)

📌 Investment Period: 10 Years

🟩 Results:

💰 Total Principal Invested: Ksh 12,100,000

💰 Interest Earned: Ksh 17,246,168

💰 Projected Portfolio Value: Ksh 29,346,168 (Net of Withholding Tax)

(Note: Projection generated using the Almasi Fund calculator on the Arvocap website.)

That is what Christine could potentially build in 10 years.

Now, I know some of you are wondering:

“How comes the returns appear lower than Mansa-X despite almost similar returns?”

Good question.

First, Almasi Fund does not use the normal compounding calculators we commonly use.
You have to use the calculator provided on their website.

Secondly, these funds invest in different opportunities, with different management strategies and risk exposures.

That naturally produces different outcomes.

And because of that, my client Christine opted for both funds — which I highly recommended.

Listen carefully:

No matter how good a fund looks, never put all your eggs in one basket.

Diversify across different investment products and companies.

That adds a layer of protection to your portfolio.

That is exactly why I personally built my major portfolios around Mansa-X and Almasi Fund.

Now, if your money is still sleeping in the bank or sitting in a money market fund, and you have no idea where to position it for stronger long-term growth,

I can help you get started with these two funds.

👉🏽 WhatsApp me “ALMASI FUND” or “MANSA-X” on 0703472299, and I will guide you through the onboarding process.

See you on the other side.

20.74% Mansa-X Special Fund ➖ One of My Top 2 Investment Recommendations in Kenya.

If you have ever consulted me about investments, or you are one of my clients, then you already know there are two investments that never miss from my recommendation list:

✅ Mansa-X Special Fund

✅ Almasi Fixed Income Fund

These are solid short- to long-term investment opportunities that investors can confidently consider without taking excessive risk.

But today, let me speak about one of them:

Mansa-X Special Fund.

Christine came to me with one goal:

To secure her retirement within 10 years.

As we structured her investment portfolio, one of the strongest recommendations I gave her was Mansa-X

The objective?

To help her build a retirement portfolio worth over Ksh 30 Million within 10 years.

Here is what the projection looked like:

📌 Investor: Christine

📌 Initial Deposit: Ksh 250,000

📌 Monthly Top-Up: Ksh 100,000

📌 Average Net Return: 18%

📌 Investment Period: 10 Years

📌 Compounding: Quarterly

Results:

💰 Total Principal Invested: Ksh 12,250,000

💰 Interest Earned: Ksh 22,271,750

💰 Projected Portfolio Value: Ksh 34,521,750

This is what investing for growth looks like.

The reason I confidently recommend Mansa-X is because of the credibility, structure, and track record behind it.

It is a solid fund that has demonstrated consistent growth and strong returns over the last 7 years.

As at 31st March 2026:

The average annual net return since inception stands at:

🔹 18.18% for the KES Fund

🔹 12.39% for the USD Fund

And in 2025 alone, the Fund delivered:

✔️ 20.74% net return for the KES Fund

✔️ 13.37% net return for the USD Fund

Being one of the pace setters in the Special Funds space, Mansa-X has positioned itself as a symbol of innovation, trust, and intelligent investing.

And because I wanted you to fully understand this fund before making any decision, I went directly to the Mansa-X team and created one of the most comprehensive videos on the internet about this investment.

We tackled over 17 key questions investors keep asking about the Fund.

If you are considering investing in Mansa-X, I highly recommend you watch that video first.

👉🏽 I will leave the link in the comment section.

Then WhatsApp me if you need clarification or if you would like to join the Fund.

I will personally guide you through the application process and help you build a solid investment strategy aligned with your goals.

Let’s continue building wealth the smart way.

Do This To Secure Your Child’s Education And Never Pay School Fees From Your Pocket Again!

Forget the education policies and flashy education plans you’ve been hearing about for years.

I want you to pay attention.

What I am about to share will not only help you secure your child’s education, but also create your own financial freedom.

We are going to plant an Education Money Tree 🌳

One that will serve your children and still take care of you in your old age.

Here is the strategy:

1️⃣ Identify How Much You Need for Your Child’s College Education

Example: ➡️ Ksh 800,000 annually

2️⃣ Identify How Long You Have to Build the Fund

Example: ➡️ 12 years

3️⃣ Adjust the Amount for Inflation

Assuming an average inflation rate of 6.2% over the next 12 years:
Formula:

FV = PV(1 + r)ⁿ

➡️ FV = 800,000(1 + 0.062)¹²

= Ksh 1,646,585

Meaning:

Ksh 800,000 today will be equivalent to approximately Ksh 1,646,585 in 12 years.

This is the mistake many parents make.

They save using today’s numbers while education costs keep rising every year.

4️⃣ Get Your Education Fund Number

Now ask yourself:

How much money must you accumulate in 12 years to generate Ksh 1,646,585 annually without exhausting the capital?

Formula:

Fund Size = Annual Income ÷ Net Annual Return

➡️ 1,646,585 ÷ 10%

= Ksh 16,465,851

That means you need approximately Ksh 16.5 Million invested in a 10% average net return fund to sustainably generate your child’s annual school fees.

5️⃣ Pick Your Investment Vehicle

Now it is time to invest.

Choose a vehicle capable of generating strong long-term growth.

This could be:

✔️ A Cash Management Trust Fund

✔️ A Fixed Income Fund

✔️ A Special Fund

6️⃣ Determine Your Monthly Contribution

To accumulate Ksh 16.5M in 12 years:

✔️At 11% net return compounded monthly:

You need approximately Ksh 53,700 monthly.

✔️At 15% net return compounded quarterly:

You need approximately Ksh 40,400 monthly.

7️⃣ Stay Consistent

Commit to the contribution faithfully for the full 12 years without unnecessary withdrawals.

Discipline is what turns this plan into freedom.

8️⃣ Redirect the Lump Sum Into a Capital-Preserving Investment

Once the money accumulates, move it into a lower-risk investment that can consistently generate annual school fees cash flow.

9️⃣ After Your Children Finish School…

Redirect the same cash flow into your retirement income pot.

This is why I call it an Education Money Tree.

It keeps serving generations.

Now you may ask:

Alex, which structure would you personally recommend?

My favorite structure is:

👉🏽 A Cash Management Trust Fund + A Whole Life Insurance Policy

Why?

Because the Trust Fund protects your children’s education money from:

✔️ Creditors

✔️ Family conflicts

✔️ Probate delays

✔️ Financial scavengers

In case of your absence, your family accesses the money smoothly without waiting years for succession processes.

You can also use growth-focused investments like:

🔹 Fixed Income Funds such as Arvocap Almasi Fund

🔹 Special Funds such as Mansa-X

But remember:

Growth alone is not enough.

Protection matters too.

Because here is the painful truth:

If you pass on after contributing for only two months, that is all your children will have.

That is why the second part of this strategy is critical:

A Whole Life Protection Plan.

It safeguards your children’s:

✔️ Education

✔️ Upkeep

✔️ Lifestyle

✔️ Future dreams

Even in your absence.

That is real financial planning.

Not guesswork.

Not hope.

Not prayers without preparation.

Do you think you have a solid education plan?

How is yours structured?

The Most Important Investment Opportunity You May Ever Come Across in Your Lifetime.

You can earn, save, and invest for the rest of your life…

But you may never accumulate an inheritance portfolio equivalent to what a Whole Life Insurance Policy can instantly create for your family.

This is the ultimate inheritance asset.

You don’t believe me?

Look at the guaranteed figures I shared with Caroline.

📌 Product: Whole Life Policy

🔹 Name: Caroline

🔹 Age: 40 Years

🔹 Sum Assured: Ksh 20M

🔹 Critical Illness Cover: Ksh 7M

🔹 Accidental Disability Cover: Ksh 5M

🔹 Premium Payment Period: 15 Years

✅ Monthly Premium: Ksh 19,608

Now let me break this down for you.

What is Whole Life Insurance really about?

This is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to secure your children immediately.

You create a Financial Plan B…

A Protection Protocol in case one day you unexpectedly transition from this world.

And let’s be honest…

You already know what happens in many families when the breadwinner passes on.

Dreams collapse.

Children suffer.

Education gets interrupted.

Lifestyle changes overnight.

Relatives start fundraising.

And sometimes, children are pushed from one home to another trying to survive.

Now ask yourself:

👉🏽If one day you don’t come back home…

Who will financially take care of your children?

Who will provide:

✔️ Food

✔️ Shelter

✔️ Education

✔️ Upkeep

✔️ Experiences

✔️ Stability

If you think deeply about it…

There may be no one.

A Whole Life Insurance Plan creates an immediate inheritance and protection shield for your children.

If the worst happens, the policy steps in and your family receives a cheque.

But that’s not all.

You see the Ksh 7 Million Critical Illness Cover and Ksh 5 Million Accidental Disability Cover?

That protection is for YOU.

To secure your income, investments, and lifestyle against life-altering medical conditions and unexpected disability.

Most people only think about death protection.

But they forget that surviving a major illness or disability can financially destroy a family faster than death itself.

That is why this is a Tripartite Protection Strategy:

And now, my work is helping families put this structure in place.

Every single day, I help someone secure their family’s future…

And honestly, I do not want to leave you behind.

Join my Prudential Life Legacy Tribe and plant your family legacy so firmly that your name will echo from one generation to the next.

Think like Caroline.

Build wealth…

But never forget to protect the people who matter most in your life.

I know this message is not for everyone.

But I believe you are different.

You are visionary enough to change your family tree.

WhatsApp me “WHOLE LIFE” and I will help you structure a plan that is affordable and suitable for your family.

This Is How You Make More Money in the Stock Market ➖ By Participating in Key Decisions Before the Public Reacts.

Companies make major decisions in the boardroom.

Expansion plans.

Acquisitions.

Management changes.

Mergers.

Dividend declarations.

Capital raising.

All these decisions are tabled during Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and approved by shareholders.

By the time the news reaches TV, radio, newspapers, bloggers, or social media…

Shareholders have already acted.

By the time the public hears the news, it is already history.

Positions have already been taken.

Profits have already been made.

That is the shareholder’s advantage.

Now, how does this affect you?

The moment you invest in shares, you own a piece of that company.

You become a shareholder.

And as a shareholder, you have the right to participate in the strategic direction of that company through AGMs.

Now some people ask me:

“Alex, I invested through Ziidi Trader and my shares sit under an Omnibus CDS Account. ..

Do I still have voting rights?”

Yes, my friend.

Whether you own 1 share or 1 million shares, your voice still counts.

You still have full rights to participate in AGM voting.

Here is how it works:

1️⃣ You receive an invitation to participate in the AGM voting process.

2️⃣ Through the Ziidi Trader platform, you fill in the proxy form.

3️⃣ You nominate Kestrel Capital (the broker) to vote on your behalf.

4️⃣ Then you indicate your decision:

✔️ For

✔️ Against

✔️ Abstain

5️⃣ Your vote is then submitted, aggregated, and represented through the omnibus structure.

And yes…

Your decision counts.

You join other shareholders in shaping the future of the company you have invested in.

Do not just buy shares and disappear into the thicket waiting for dividends or share prices to rise.

Be active.

Participate.

Study the companies you invest in.

Contribute to decisions that make your chosen companies stronger.

Because better company decisions can ultimately grow your wealth.

Why Earning More Is Making You More Broke!

One of the biggest financial illusions today is this:

“Once I start earning more, my money problems will disappear.”

But let me shock you.

Some of the most financially stressed people are not low-income earners.

They are high-income earners with:

❌ No structure

❌ No protection

❌ No investment strategy

❌ No financial discipline

Their salaries grew…

But their liabilities grew even faster.

The moment income increases:

➡️ The car changes

➡️ The house changes

➡️ The vacations increase

➡️ The subscriptions multiply

➡️ The pressure to “look successful” intensifies

Yet behind the scenes:

⚠️ Debt is growing

⚠️ Savings are weak

⚠️ Investments are inconsistent

⚠️ Emergencies cause panic

⚠️ Retirement is not funded

⚠️ One hospital bill can destabilize everything

Many people are not building wealth.

They are simply financing an expensive lifestyle.

And the painful part?

From the outside, they look successful.

Good salary.

Good clothes.

Good car.

Good phone.

But financially?

They are exhausted prisoners of monthly income.

This is why some people earning Ksh 80,000 quietly build wealth…

While others earning Ksh 500,000 remain trapped for years.

Because wealth is not built by income alone.

Wealth is built by:

✔️Structure

✔️Discipline

✔️Protection

✔️Delayed gratification

✔️Intentional investing

✔️Proper financial systems

If money enters your life without direction, it will disappear with confusion.

You must streamline your financial life.

Every shilling must have an assignment.

Your income should not only maintain your lifestyle.

It should:

🔹 Protect your family

🔹 Build assets

🔹 Create passive income

🔹 Fund your retirement

🔹 Build generational stability

A high income without financial structure is dangerous.

Because the more you earn without discipline…

The more sophisticated your financial problems become.

True wealth is not about looking rich.

It is about having:

👉🏽 Peace of mind

👉🏽 Financial control

👉🏽 Strong cash flow systems

👉🏽 Protection from financial shocks

👉🏽 Assets working for you

👉🏽 Freedom of choice

The goal is not to earn more and become financially louder.

The goal is to earn more and become financially stronger.

And I will help you create structure for your money through my simplified budget template in the comment section.

Get it and start becoming intentional with your income.

What Is Your Financial Freedom Number?

Financial freedom is not about owning every luxury you can imagine.

It is a place of rest.

A place where your passive income is greater than your monthly financial needs.

A place where bills no longer scare you because they are handled without stress or struggle.

It is waking up without panic.

Working because you want to—not because you are forced to.

Having the freedom to travel, rest, serve, create, spend time with family, pursue purpose,

➖and make decisions without money controlling your life.

That is the real definition of wealth.

Not pressure.

Not survival.

Not impressing people.

But peace.

The ability to sustain your lifestyle comfortably from assets you have built over time.

Now, the big question becomes:

👉 What number do you need to reach that level?

Let me show you a simple formula.

➖I call it the 0.8333% Rule.

If you know your monthly lifestyle cost, you can estimate the amount of money you need invested to generate that income sustainably.

For example:

If your monthly budget is Ksh 200,000:

Take 200,000 ÷ 0.8333%

You will get approximately Ksh 24,000,000.

Why?

Because if you invest Ksh 24 Million into a conservative investment portfolio averaging 10% annual return while preserving your capital,

➖It can generate around Ksh 200,000 monthly passive income.

That means:

✔️ Your bills are covered

✔️ Your lifestyle is sustained

✔️ Your capital remains intact

✔️ Your money keeps working for you

That, my friend, is financial freedom.

Now let’s make it practical.

What if you only have 15 years to build this freedom fund?

How much should you invest monthly to hit Ksh 24 Million?

Approximately Ksh 36,200 per month invested consistently in a fund averaging 15% net return with quarterly compounding.

Small disciplined actions.

Massive long-term freedom.

Most people chase quick money.

Few people calculate freedom.

But the moment you know your number, life changes.

Because now you have clarity.

You stop wandering financially.

You stop moving blindly.

Every investment now has a purpose.

Every contribution moves you closer to freedom.

So, tell me…

What is YOUR Financial Freedom Number?

Investing Ksh 1 MILLION in Different Passive Income Opportunities — Which One Is the Best?

“Alex, I want to make money while asleep.”

Well, that’s good, my friend, because Warren Buffett once said:

✔️ “If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.”

The Mortgage Trap: Mortgage Now or Invest First and Buy Later ➖ Which Is Better?

Let me show you how one financial decision can cost you a jaw-dropping Ksh 317 Million.

Yes — that’s how much you could potentially lose by taking the mortgage route blindly.

Before emotions take over — and I get it, owning a home feels good.

In fact, securing a home for your family is one of the best decisions you can ever make.

➖But let’s dare to examine the logic behind the numbers.

Should You Buy an 8M Home Now Using a Mortgage…

OR

Delay gratification, invest first, then buy later?

Scenario 1: Buy Now Using a Mortgage

Buying an 8M home at 15% interest:

🔵 10 Years = Ksh 15,488,156

(Monthly Payment: Ksh 129,068)

🔵 15 Years = Ksh 20,154,055

(Monthly Payment: Ksh 111,967)

🔵 20 Years = Ksh 25,282,361

(Monthly Payment: Ksh 105,343)

🔵 25 Years = Ksh 30,739,935

(Monthly Payment: Ksh 102,466)

Let that sink in.

A 15-year mortgage will cost you over Ksh 12.15M in interest alone.

A 25-year mortgage?

You will pay over Ksh 22.7M in interest.

That is almost 3 extra homes gone.

Now look at the other side.

Scenario 2: Delay Gratification & Invest First

What if you invested those same monthly amounts into a 15% net return investment instead?

Here’s what happens 👇

🟡 Invest Ksh 129,068/month for 10 years = Ksh 35.6M

🟡 Invest Ksh 111,967/month for 15 years = Ksh 74.8M

🟡 Invest Ksh 105,343/month for 20 years = Ksh 155.6M

🟡 Invest Ksh 102,466/month for 25 years = Ksh 325.1M

Read that again carefully.

With just 10 years of disciplined investing at Ksh 129,068/month, you could buy your 8M home in cash…

…and still remain with Ksh 27.6M.

Here is the uncomfortable truth.

The mortgage route gives you instant gratification.

But the investor mindset gives you:

✔️ The home

✔️ The investment portfolio

✔️ The passive income potential

✔️ The financial freedom

That is how wealthy people think.

But let me also be honest:

This route only works if you have:

📌 Extreme discipline

📌 Patience

📌 Emotional control

📌 Long-term thinking

📌 A solid investment plan

And truthfully?

Most people struggle with delayed gratification.

That’s why many end up trapped in long-term debt cycles.

But the math does not lie.

Now tell me:

Would you rather…

✔️ Own a home quickly but spend 2–3x more?

OR

✔️ Wait, invest wisely, and eventually own both the home and your financial freedom?

📌 Note:
