Questions people ask about Zimele Fixed Income Fund

What is the current Zimele Fixed Income Fund rate?
Zimele Fixed Income Fund is quoting 12.27% gross. Fructa records the rate every weekday, so this figure is the most recent one published rather than an annual average.
How much do you actually keep from Zimele Fixed Income Fund?
Kenyan money market fund interest carries 15% withholding tax, deducted at source. The advertised 12.27% is therefore 10.43% in practice. On KES 100,000 that difference is about KES 1,841 a year.
What is the minimum investment for Zimele Fixed Income Fund?
Zimele Fixed Income Fund requires a minimum of KES 100 to open. Minimums vary widely between Kenyan funds, from a hundred shillings to six figures, and a higher minimum does not reliably buy a higher yield.
Who manages Zimele Fixed Income Fund?
Zimele Fixed Income Fund is managed by Zimele Unit Trust, a fund manager licensed by the Capital Markets Authority. Fructa tracks every CMA licensed collective investment scheme that publishes a rate.
Is Zimele Fixed Income Fund a good place to keep money?
That depends on what you are comparing it against and what you need the money for. The yield matters, but so do the minimum, the fee, how quickly you can withdraw, and whether the return beats inflation once tax is taken. Fructa shows gross, net and real side by side for every fund so the comparison is like for like.
