You have KSh 100,000. What is the best place to invest it: buying individual shares, an equity fund, or an ETF?
Let’s first discuss their differences, because before deciding where to put your money, you need to understand what you are actually buying...🧵

An MMF can be excellent for your emergency fund, short-term goals and money you are simply parking while deciding what to do with it.
But if you're trying to build wealth over the long term, you should understand the other options available to you.

although the risk profile and price behaviour are different.
Some fixed-income funds have also delivered returns in the mid-teens and, in some periods, close to 20%.
But again, higher potential returns do not mean guaranteed returns.

Then we have fixed-income funds.
A fixed-income fund can invest in government Treasury bonds and corporate debt instruments.
Because these investments have longer maturities, they can offer higher returns than traditional MMFs,

Depending on the fund, you could be looking at KSh 100,000, KSh 250,000 or even KSh 500,000 as the minimum investment.
So this is not where you put money that you may need tomorrow.

the high teens and around 20% in 2025.
But don't hear "20%" and immediately move your emergency fund there.
There is a catch.
These funds can have lock-in periods. Some may require you to leave your money invested for six months or longer.

Others may have specific redemption windows after which your money is locked in again for another period.
They can also have significantly higher minimum investment requirements.

One category is what are commonly referred to as special funds.
Because they can take on more risk than MMFs, they also have the potential to generate higher returns.
And we saw some funds in this category delivering returns in...

When interest rates were much higher, fund managers could invest at higher yields.
When those rates come down, the yields available to the fund also come down.
And eventually, that reduction finds its way to you.

If your goal is simply to preserve your money, maintain liquidity and earn something while your money is sitting somewhere, an MMF can still make a lot of sense.
But if your objective is long-term wealth creation, there are other investment vehicles worth understanding.

The government borrows the money, pays interest, and when the securities mature, the principal is returned. That interest is one of the major sources of the return generated by your MMF.

Since 2024, the Central Bank of Kenya has been reducing its policy rate. And as interest rates come down, the returns available on short-term government securities also tend to fall.

When you put money into an MMF, your fund manager pools your money together with money from other investors. The fund then invests that money in relatively low-risk, interest-bearing instruments, including government securities such as Treasury bills.

MMFs in Kenya are now yielding below 10%.
Remember when they used to yield up to 18%?
But there are investment options beyond MMFs that can potentially earn you 15%, 20% or more.
So why are MMF returns falling, and where should you put your money next?...🧵
