Where it all comes together
When you are ready to put your money to work, this is the vehicle I most often help clients use: Mansa-X, a professionally managed multi-asset fund from Standard Investment Bank.
A fund that does the work, so you do not have to
Mansa-X is a managed fund, not a platform you operate. A professional team invests across global markets on your behalf. You do not pick stocks, time trades, or watch screens. You decide to invest, and they manage the rest.
It is available in both Kenya shilling and US dollar, and it is a product of Standard Investment Bank, licensed and regulated by the Capital Markets Authority.
One fund, spread across the world
Your money is not sitting in one market hoping it behaves. It is spread across global and local assets, and rebalanced by a professional team.

What it holds
- Globally single stocks and stock indices, fixed income, derivatives, precious metals, currencies and commodities
- Locally NSE equities, NSE derivatives, ETFs, fixed income, cash and equivalents
The fund trades on the world's major exchanges, including New York, London, Frankfurt and Hong Kong. You do not pick any of it. The team does, within limits set by an investment committee and an independent trustee.
What the years have actually built
Two honest views of the same fund. Quarter by quarter, and over the long run.

What I want you to notice is consistency, not one lucky quarter. The fund has stayed close to its long-run average through very different markets. I cannot promise you a number, because markets move. What I can do is help you decide whether this belongs in your portfolio, and how much.
Past performance is not a promise of future results, and returns are not guaranteed. Mansa-X Special Fund is regulated by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), Kenya.
The terms, in plain sight
No small print games. This is what it costs, what it asks of you, and who is watching over it.
Regulated by the Capital Markets Authority. Custodian: I&M Bank. Trustee: Kingsland Court Trustees. Auditor: Chartafai LLP. Your money is held by the custodian, not by me and not by Standard Investment Bank.

What makes Mansa-X different
Genuinely diversified
Spread across many asset classes and markets, so you are not leaning on any single bet.
Professionally managed
A specialist team makes the calls. You are not learning to trade or watching the news for cues.
A dollar option
Available in US dollar as well as shillings, useful if you want exposure beyond the local currency.
Liquid when you need it
Designed so you can access your money on request, rather than locking it away forever.
Global reach
Access to the world's major markets, opening doors most local options simply cannot.
Built to be explained
I will walk you through exactly how it works, in plain language, before you commit a shilling.
What I will always tell you straight
Mansa-X is a managed fund, not a guarantee. Markets move, and no honest advisor can promise a number. What I can promise is that I will explain the risks as clearly as the rewards, match the choice to your goals, and never push you into something that does not fit.
The specific fees, minimums and historical figures live in the factsheet below, and we go through them together. No surprises.
