When it comes to growing your money in Kenya, there are more opportunities than ever, from stable government bonds to beginner-friendly money market funds and exciting international investments. Whether you're looking to save, grow wealth, or diversify beyond local markets, Ndovu offers smart, accessible solutions through the Ndovu App.


Government Bonds: Reliable, Low-Risk Income

Government bonds are one of the most secure investment vehicles in Kenya. When you buy a bond, you're essentially lending money to the government for a set period, in exchange for regular interest payments (also called coupons). The government uses your capital to fund infrastructure, development, or operational needs, and pays you back on maturity.


These investments are attractive because they are low-risk, offer predictable returns, and are backed by the government. Bond durations vary from a few months (like Treasury bills) to 10 or more years. While Ndovu does not currently offer direct access to Kenyan government bonds, they remain a key option for conservative investors seeking safety and consistent returns.


Money Market Funds: The Smart Starting Point

If you’re just beginning your investment journey, Money Market Funds (MMFs) are your best friend. Think of them as high-interest savings accounts with the added benefit of daily interest accumulation.


MMFs invest in low-risk, short-term debt securities like Treasury bills and commercial papers. They’re ideal for:


  • Building an emergency fund

  • Saving for short-term goals (like rent or school fees)

  • Parking money while planning bigger investments


Through the Ndovu App, you can start investing in MMFs with as little as KES 5,00. It’s quick, low-risk, and perfect for getting into the investment mindset.


Global Investments opportunities in Kenya

Looking beyond borders? The Ndovu investment platform opens up a world of international opportunities so your money isn’t just growing, it’s working across industries and economies.


US Stocks

Own fractional shares of iconic companies like:

  • Apple – benefiting from global tech dominance

  • Meta (Facebook) – a leader in social media and digital ads

  • Tesla – at the forefront of electric vehicles

  • Coinbase – a gateway to the growing world of crypto


You don’t need hundreds of dollars. With Ndovu, you can invest a KES 1000 in fractional shares and still benefit from growth.


Commodities

Diversify your portfolio with commodities:

  • Gold & Silver – traditionally safe stores of value

  • Oil – essential to global industry, energy, and transport


These assets help cushion your portfolio against inflation and currency fluctuations.
