We’re talking about pension schemes delivering their best performance in years, with a median 1-year return of 30.0%, that’s a whopping 26% above inflation!
Outpacing InflationFor the first time in recent memory, Kenyan pension schemes aren’t just keeping up with inflation, they’re leaving it in the dust.
The 12-month median return hit 30.0%, driven by stellar performances from local equities (up 50.7%) and government bonds (up 27.8%).
Pension schemes need to remain attuned to asset class behaviour, regulatory developments, and risk-adjusted strategies to support sustainable outcomes for their members over time.”This Z-CASS report shows optimism for Kenya’s pension industry.
Whether you’re a scheme member, trustee, or just planning ahead, the message is clear: diversification, discipline, and a focus on real returns can secure a brighter future.
