As of March 2025, data from the Capital Markets Authority indicated that the total Assets Under Management (AUM) by Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) were KES 496.2B, up 28% from KES 389.2B in December 2024, and up 120.2% from KES 225.4B in March 2024. For CIC Unit Trust Scheme, the total AUM stood at KES 87.5 as compared to KES 82.5 in December 2024, marking a growth of 6.1%.

In March 2024, the AUM was KES 61.9B, bringing the year-on-year growth to March 2025 to KES 25.6B in absolute terms, or representing a growth rate of 41.4%. The robust growth in the AUM by the schemes is attributed to the growth in the assets managed by funds under already existing Collective Investment Schemes, as well as new funds established and licensed to operate in the country.
