Why investors prefer CMMF over fixed deposits

In Kenya’s evolving investment landscape, traditional fixed deposits are losing their shine. Conservative investors who relied on bank accounts and short-term savings plans are now exploring alternatives. These alternatives offer security and better returns. Leading this shift is the Cytonn Money Market Fund (CMMF). CMMF is a regulated, low-risk investment product that’s redefining how Kenyans grow their savings.

The appeal of CMMF lies in its simplicity and benefits. It has no entry or exit fees, daily compounding of interest, and competitive returns. As of February 2025, the fund delivered a yield of 16.2%. This outperformed many fixed deposit accounts, which average between 7% and 10% annually. The fund invests in high-quality short-term debt securities, treasury bills, fixed deposits, and near-cash holdings. This strategy ensures liquidity and preserves capital.

Unlike fixed deposits, CMMF offers flexibility. Fixed deposits often lock funds for months and charge penalties for early withdrawal. In contrast, CMMF allows easy access to funds. This makes it ideal for short-term savings goals and emergency funds.

CMMF stands out for its transparency and regulation. Cytonn Asset Managers Limited (CAML), a licensed affiliate of Cytonn Investments, manages the fund. This ensures accountability and adds trust for investors.
