Laptrust Imara I-REIT was authorized by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) on 1st November 2022 and listed on the Restricted Sub Segment of the Main Investment Market segment of the Nairobi Securities Exchange on 22nd March 2023.  This means that open trading of the securities will be restricted for a three-year period in a bid to provide the I-REIT sufficient time to build a performance track record, allowing investors to gain confidence in the asset class. In addition, the units can only be traded to persons qualifying as professional investors, confined to high net-worth individuals and institutions.

The Fund invests in various investment properties such as Pension Towers, Freedom Heights Mall, Metro Park, Nova Pioneer – Eldoret and CPF house. During the half-year period, the total value of the investment properties stood at Kshs 6.9 billion.
