Equity funds trail NSE 2026 returns
Equity funds remain the main tool for investor diversification into NSE-listed stocks as instruments like mutual/index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) covering local equities remain absent from the market.
Unit trust funds putting investor funds into select listed stocks have trailed returns of the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) as the schemes struggle to deliver market-beating returns.
Equity funds have posted an average return of 16.6 percent since the start of the year compared to Nairobi bourse gains of 26 percent over the same period.
