A bit of bs, so let me straighten.
Britam's cms product is one of best savings product in kenya imho. However, note:
-you need a metre or more
-the interest quoted is annual, but will obviously be pro-rated depending on your investment period
-the fixed period is subject to discussion

I've been informed minimum is 5m - @mainat, did you get it with under 5m?

Wapi @smano to elaborate or clarify

Min used to be 5m but was lowered to 1m...topup is 500k..the interest rate varies each week and after investing,that week's rate will apply for the duration of the investment.

The facts are as I posted them above. I think Britam might be on twirra or facebook or contacts can be provided

@S.Mutaga III,
I don't get you..you are saying that Zimele will lock your investment for one year at 9%?If you have 1 metre,go to Britam(CMS investment)..This last week the return for a 3 month period was at 13%..The return varies weekly..

Kindly explain about that Britam product. What are the risks? How do they invest your money? Is that 11% interest net of everything and payable after three months??Explain about the product in detail because their website does not seem to shed any light on it


Minimum 5M for 35% p.a. with a higher risk than money market.
Simply put this is just a place to park your money

After a careful analysis, its never worth the hustle to invest in a unit trust. The return on investment is just too little to warrant the hustle. You invest and wait for 12 months to get just 10% return on investment. You are better off putting the money in your bank account (not fixed deposit) for the following reasons:
1) The amount may improve your credit rating with the bank in case you need loans in future.
2) There are business opportunities that arise in the course of the year that require urgent cash. Such business opportunities often have great returns and require the cash in matters of hours or at most 48 hours. It takes at least 4 business days to liquidate the money market fund. For instance, you may spot a piece of land that is being disposed by a bank at a throw away price etc.
3) Some of these money market funds champion for lipa na mpesa which eats into the anticipated profits. After all transaction costs, the real return is even much lower than 9%.
4) Put your money where your mouth is. I think the person who benefits from Unit Trusts such as Zimele are the owners because they get loans at a fixed 9% and invest them for better returns...9% loans per year is a very cheap loan from their point of view.

Reason 3 is not valid. Lipa na mpesa does not attract charges on the person paying.
