Kenyan investors interested in diversifying and expanding their portfolio have a reason to smile following the announcement by Lofty Corban that the firm is preparing to roll out a specialized global fund for them.
Speaking during the inaugural annual general meeting for Lofty Corban Unit Trust members, Chief Executive Officer Stanley Mutuku announced that the firm’s global specialized fund is expected to boost investors’ earnings. This will bring the total number of investment products to seven, adding to the current Money Market, Special Money Market, Equity, Bond, USD Money Market, and USD Bond Funds.
“It is a key element of our innovation and demonstrates the depth to which we have gone to listen and respond to investors. We appreciate that markets are dynamic and, using our expertise and networks, have developed a robust product designed to give investors an enhanced experience with unit trusts,” said Mutuku.
He explained that the company’s unit trusts had registered phenomenal growth since their inception barely three years ago. Total assets under management grossed at Kshs 4 billion at the end of May 2025, reflecting a solid 645% growth from Kshs 388.48 million recorded in December 2023.
Mutuku added that the Collective Investment Scheme had also reported immense bottom-line growth, delivering over Kshs 225 million in profit after tax across its fund offerings.
As a result, Lofty-Corban is now ranked 16th out of 45 fund managers in Kenya, demonstrating its capability as an investment management partner and wealth builder of choice for discerning investors.
“These figures reflect our financial strength and the deep trust which our over 10,000 clients have placed in us in less than two years,” said Mutuku.
Lofty Corban Board Chairman George Wafula echoed his remarks, noting that with the firm having successfully held its inaugural annual general meeting for members of the collective investment scheme, the firm had demonstrated its strength and maturity in productive investment management despite its youthful age.
“Despite macroeconomic headwinds and political uncertainty, we remained resilient and focused on our mission—to deliver value through disciplined, customer-centric fund management,” he said.
