“The Global Enhanced Equities Fund gives investors access to shares in companies shaping the global economy. It offers an opportunity to own a stake in businesses behind some of the products and technologies we use every day,” Obatsa said on Thursday, October 8, 2026.

The fund's featured holdings include global companies such as Tesla, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Meta, Netflix and Adobe, among others.

“Every day, Africans participate in the global economy as consumers, businesses and users of technology created around the world. We believe they should also have the opportunity to become investors in the companies driving that economy, own a stake in their growth and share in the value they create,” said Tom Gitogo, Group Managing Director and CEO of Britam.

The second product, the Multi-Asset Special Fund, is denominated in Kenyan shillings and combines local and global equities and exchange-traded funds, fixed income, commodities and alternative investments.

The fund requires a minimum initial investment of Ksh500,000, with subsequent top-ups starting at Ksh250,000.

According to Britam, the fund has a six-month lock-in period and is designed for investors with a three- to five-year investment horizon.
