These are performance illustrations and not guarantees. Returns will vary based on market conditions. The fund's benchmark is the SOFR Compounded Index; the illustrative target represents expected outperformance above inflation and the benchmark over a full market cycle, not a year-by-year projection.
Under the Finance Act 2025, corporate investors may only carry forward tax losses for up to five years. Individual investors are subject to withholding tax on interest income at applicable rates. All investors are advised to seek independent tax advice, as tax treatment depends on individual circumstances.
Yes. Non-resident Kenyans and other eligible diaspora investors may invest in the Kibaba Fund. Investors based outside Kenya should note that the fund is regulated under Kenyan law, and it is their responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable laws in their country of residence. Subscription and redemption proceeds can be remitted in KES or USD depending on the share class.
Yes. This is a critical investor protection. All fund assets are held in the name of the fund by the Custodian (DTB) under the oversight of the independent Trustee (Kingsland Court). They are legally segregated from Ndovu Wealth's corporate assets. In the event that Ndovu Wealth were unable to operate, the Trustee would take steps to protect investor assets and appoint a replacement fund manager, subject to CMA approval. Your investment does not sit on Ndovu Wealth's balance sheet.
KES investors are exposed to foreign exchange risk because the fund's underlying assets are primarily denominated in USD and other foreign currencies. When the KES weakens against the USD, the KES-translated value of offshore assets rises, benefiting KES-class investors. When the KES strengthens, the reverse applies. The fund manages FX exposure through:
•Active FX monitoring and management by the investment team
•Tactical allocation decisions that account for currency positioning
•Duration management to reduce interest rate and currency sensitivity
Investors who wish to eliminate KES/USD currency risk may consider the USD share class. Note that the USD class carries its own FX considerations for investors whose functional currency is KES.
You can monitor your Kibaba Fund investment in real time through the Ndovu mobile app (available on iOS and Android) and the online investor portal. The platform displays your current unit holding, NAV, portfolio value, and transaction history. Annual audited reports are also made available to all investors.
