Overview

The manager describes a portfolio including Treasury bills, fixed deposits and high-grade commercial paper. The CMA lists Cytonn Money Market Fund under Cytonn Unit Trust Scheme and lists Cytonn Asset Managers Limited as a fund manager.

How it works

Investors buy units in a pooled portfolio. Interest is described as accruing daily and being distributed monthly, net of withholding tax, according to the current manager page.

Fees and charges

The manager’s published fund page has previously listed a 1.5% annual management fee and no initial management fee; verify the current fee schedule before publication.

Risks and important considerations

Investment returns are not guaranteed and redemptions may be suspended in specific circumstances under fund terms. The CMA has distinguished licensed Cytonn Asset Managers and its regulated funds from other Cytonn group products; list only the regulated fund described here.

Eligibility and how to apply

The current Cytonn Asset Managers page states a KES 30,000 minimum investment. Other Cytonn pages have shown different minimum/top-up terms, so confirm directly before relying on this amount.
