Investors in shares listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) made the best returns in 2024 ahead of those who put their money in bonds, fixed bank deposits and property, marking a turnaround in fortunes after the bourse trailed other investments in 2023.

The NSE recorded a 34.4 percent or Sh495 billion jump in investor wealth to Sh1.934 trillion between January 1 and December 30, which was nearly double the best return of 18.5 percent from Treasury bond auctions and the average yields on Treasury bills of between 9.89 percent and 16.99 percent.
