Britam Asset Managers plans to launch two special funds at Britam Towers on 8 Oct 2026 following approval by the Capital Markets Authority.
The company’s media invitation said the funds would expand its investment offering as Kenyan investors seek more choice and diversification.
The invitation said investors were seeking “access to opportunities beyond traditional markets” but did not identify the assets the funds would target.
The planned launch matters to Kenya’s investment market because Britam intends to broaden the choices available to local investors.
The invitation said the Capital Markets Authority had recently approved the two funds.
It did not give the approval date.
The funds remain unnamed in the invitation.
It also provided no details of their investment strategies ahead of the launch.
The event will take place at the Parking Silo on the 12th floor of Britam Towers in Upperhill.
The invitation gives the launch time as 8.30am to 10.30am and addresses business editors and reporters.
Britam Holdings Plc Group Managing Director and CEO Tom Gitogo is among the executives listed to attend.
The invitation also lists Nairobi Securities Exchange Plc CEO Frank Mwiti and Britam Asset Managers CEO Barack Obatsa.
Other members of Britam Holdings Plc’s senior leadership are expected to attend according to the invitation.
The document does not specify speaking roles for the named executives.
It includes no comments attributed to them.
Britam links the expansion to investor demand for diversification but provides no figures showing the scale of that demand.
The invitation presents the funds as additional investment choices rather than giving a detailed account of how either product will operate.
It does not disclose minimum investment amounts or identify whether the funds will be available to retail investors or other investor groups.
The document also leaves fees and withdrawal terms unspecified.
Those details would help prospective investors compare the funds with other investments and assess whether the products match their needs.
The reference to opportunities beyond traditional markets does not establish whether the funds will invest in Kenya or elsewhere.
The invitation gives no allocation targets or performance objectives for either fund.
Investors therefore cannot assess the proposed portfolios or their risks from the launch notice alone.
The invitation does not say when subscriptions will open or whether that date will coincide with the launch.
Britam’s next announced milestone is the launch at Britam Towers on 8 Oct 2026.
