Minimum To Start Investing

Minimum To Start Investing

For shares, it depends on the company you want to buy shares from, the minimum number of shares to buy is 100.

Therefore for Mumias Sugar Company shares, you will only need KES 120 to buy 100 shares based on today's market price of KES 1.2 per share. It doesn't have to be a one time purchase, you can be buying regularly just to increase your portfolio.

You can also invest in Unit Trusts which is a good savings option that earns you interest.

We enable you to invest in Sanlam Money Market with a minimum of KES 2,500 and Old Mutual with a minimum of KES 1,000.

This is a great savings plan as it also enables you to top up every month or as frequently you can.

Happy Investing ðŸ˜Š
