Hello Wazua. I have 1.5M to invest. I am looking for high returns and willing to take some risk. I can manage to put away another 100k every month. I have access to loan at 5% interest.

Where should I put my money? Biacara, property, shamba??Please advise. d'oh! d'oh!


Hey there,

My suggestion would to diversify..I'm no expert but from wise readings in wazua forums and other sources do not put all your eggs in one basket especially not with the kenyan economy we have.Not too much but not too little.. Maybe buy some bonds with 8%+ return. A nice 6months fixed deposit account. Invest in shares at the NSE. maybe buy some land. Naturally there maybe other ways you can invest which others may tell you better about. I share the little I know.

Random Outlook:
Bonds - 250,000(8%+)
Shares - 250,000 (Varies on your choices and timing)
Savings Account - 500,000 (4-4.5% for 6 months & 8-9% for a year)
Land - 500,00 (naturally growing or even start a small business if you have the right idea..maybe work with partners)


'saving Account, at 5-10% per year.' Don't think it's the wisest at the current economic growth.


Taking a loan @ 5% p.a + attendant costs AND putting it in a savings account earning (8-9)% p. a vs inflation = Zero sense.

If you have no idea where to take the money, do a wedding.

So you consider a wedding an investment? How do you measure the rate of return? By the frequency of landing ama children borne? Kindly educate us.

NB : Apana ita wanjiku kwa harusi. use 250k kutengeza good "mega" friends in a month or two. call them kwa wedding. utapata nyumba,gari,furniture,electronics....e.tc uza some ulipe loan.
