You know, the Cytonn guys are working hard to grow their business, and to break into the big leagues - commendable, should bring return in the long run. The new campaign 'be sharp, not smart' is quite catchy - bravo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7RlJma3_No

The issue in my view is the 'hawking' (like undercover trolling products here) or 'glossing' (trying to look bigger than you are or higher return than is real). As a professional service provider, it cheapens you.

one thing is that top banks offer very low interest rates,it's the small banks that offer very high rates but the risk is higher and any serious fund manager will have a low limit to invest with them...one possible reason why old mutual has low rates despite a big portfolio is they probably bought investment instruments e.g long term bonds that are performing poorly and therefore affecting the average yield.

cytonn come to the market when rates were attractive and so their yield is high again their portfolio is small which makes it easier to buy investment instruments.

Fund managers get very high offers from some banks but they will turn down the offers because of risk.Cytonn seems to be taking anything that comes.

They have not not attained the cma license to do unit trusts.

OMAM has had low returns for a very long time..The irony is that despite that,a lot of funds are invested with them.If I am not wrong,they probably control at least 60% of the market.

yes they do,being that they are the oldest in the market most of their clients are not very young,they don't easily switch investments.

Some companies need to be well established,have self sustaining and working systems before franchising. Early franchising is too ambitious .

brush over to comments section. finally people are realizing self advertising and nonsensical reports with nothing of substance do not equal investor confidence. Conmen as usual in Kenya
