In November 2025, net returns for Money Market Funds (MMFs) continued to decline, with the average net returns dropping to 7.86% from 8.06%, which was recorded in October 2025.
The drop in returns has been attributed to several market factors, including the continued decline of interest rates for Treasury Bills, which are the primary investment platforms for fund managers.
In November 2025, investors in the Cytonn Money Market Fund got the highest returns, with the annual net return being recorded at 9.68%.
This was followed by Etica Money Market Fund (9.48%) and Nabo Africa Money Market Fund (9.36%)
