The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) more than doubled its holding in government securities in five years, signalling a leaning towards higher guaranteed returns in a market where listed equities have generated lower returns and increased volatility.

Latest industry statistics show the State-owned pension fund has grown its stake in Treasury bonds and bills to Sh170.9 billion last year from Sh83.2 billion in 2017.
