Money market fund yields, ranked
Kenya’s money market funds side by side, ranked by what a saver keeps after withholding tax. Every yield is read from the fund manager’s own website, never from adverts or third-party lists, and logged daily from 1 Oct 2026, so the history builds here and nowhere else.

A fund’s published yield is its recent return annualised; it is not a promise of what it will pay, and fees are taken before or after it depending on the fund. A yield far above the Treasury bill usually means the fund holds longer or riskier paper, or that the published figure is old. Check the fund’s own documents before you invest. This is information, not advice.
Not in the table because the last read failed: Etica Money Market Fund (KES) (the manager’s page shows two different yields).
