Money market fund yields in Kenya, October 2026

Yields read on 25 October 2026 from each manager's own website or factsheet. This is a comparison, not financial advice.

The highest yield we could see on a manager's own page that day was Cytonn Money Market Fund at 11.10% (average annualised yield for the month, not an effective annual yield), which is about 9.43% after the 15% withholding tax. Yields change daily and past yields do not promise future ones. Managers also publish different kinds of yield, so check the type next to each figure before you compare.

Fund by fund

Cytonn Money Market Fund

Cytonn Money Market Fund published 11.10% (average annualised yield for the month, not an effective annual yield, dated 30 September 2026). After 15% withholding tax that is about 9.43%, or roughly KSh 9,430 a year on KSh 100,000 if the rate held for a year.

Minimum to start: KSh 1,000. Annual management fee: 2%, already taken out of the published yield. September 2026 factsheet, still the latest on 25 October (the October one is not out yet). Cytonn reports an annualised monthly average, not an effective annual yield, so it is not like-for-like with the others. A KSh 50 ledger fee also applies. Manager's page

Not ranked this month

These managers had no current figure on their own pages on 25 October 2026. We do not fill the gap from third-party lists.

  • NCBA Money Market Fund. NCBA Money Market Fund published 6.92% (effective annual yield, dated 18 August 2026). After 15% withholding tax that is about 5.88%, or roughly KSh 5,880 a year on KSh 100,000 if the rate held for a year. This figure is more than 45 days old, so it is not ranked. Manager's page
  • Britam Money Market Fund. The fund page still shows an August 2024 yield, so we do not print it. Manager's page
  • Lofty-Corban Money Market Fund. The home page ticker shows a figure updated on 24 October 2026 but does not say what kind of yield it is, and we found no fund page or factsheet, so we do not print it. Manager's page
  • Apollo Money Market Fund. The official fund page now opens but shows no yield. It says the declared rate is net of the management fee, which is up to 2%. Manager's page
  • Ziidi Money Market Fund. Safaricom shows the rate only inside the M-PESA app and on *334#, and its Ziidi FAQ (last updated 15 July 2026) publishes no figure, so we do not print one. The FAQ says the 2% management fee is already taken out of the rate shown, and 15% withholding tax applies. Manager's page

How to read these figures

Every yield here is net of the management fee and before withholding tax, as each manager publishes it. An effective annual yield assumes interest is reinvested for a year. A monthly average or an annualised daily rate is a different measure, so a fund showing one is not directly comparable with a fund showing the other.

Tax

KRA's withholding tax guide sets 15% on interest, and the managers here deduct it from MMF interest before it reaches you. The "after tax" column applies that rate to the published yield. KRA, Withholding Income Tax guide (interest 15%).

Before you invest

  1. Open the manager's own page and check today's rate. It will have moved since 25 October 2026.
  2. Check the fund is a collective investment scheme approved by the Capital Markets Authority.
  3. Check how withdrawals work and how long they take. If this is your emergency money, speed matters more than a small yield gap.
