About this webinar.
Money market funds are everywhere in Kenya's money conversations, but most people invest in them without knowing how they actually work. Edition 2 was a free, live, 60-minute session that went inside MMFs, step by step.
What we covered
- What MMFs are, in plain language, with no jargon.
- How MMFs work: where your money goes, how interest is earned and compounded, and what the advertised yield really means.
- The MMF checklist: the exact questions to ask before choosing a fund, from CMA regulation to fees, minimums and withdrawal terms.
It was not a sales pitch and no specific fund was promoted. It was structured financial education: the investing class you never got in school.
What you will take home.
Every Fnsoko webinar is built around one idea: you should leave knowing exactly what to do next with your money.
One topic, explained properly
From the basics up, in plain language, with Kenyan examples and real numbers.
What to check before you invest
The questions to ask and the risks to understand before a single shilling goes in.
Answers to your own questions
Time at the end for whatever you have been wondering, however basic it feels.
This is for you if...
You do not need a finance background, a big salary or any savings yet. You only need to want things to be different.
Your pay disappears too fast
You earn, but by the 20th you are wondering where it all went.
You want your money to grow
You have heard about money market funds, SACCOs and T-bills and want them explained plainly.
You learn better with others
You would rather ask questions out loud and hear how other Kenyans handle money.
Your host, Wanja Waithaka.
Wanja is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA-K) who works in Kenya’s capital markets. She started Fnsoko so that Kenyans could learn about money before they lose it, not after.
- Plain words and Kenyan examples, never jargon.
- Honest education: nobody sells you a product.
- Time for your own questions, however basic they feel.
