A Kenyan property fund that allows investors to earn returns in US dollars has been oversubscribed by 3 per cent, signalling strong appetite for hard-currency investments at a time when the shilling has faced persistent pressure.

The TRIFIC Green USD I-REIT offer raised a total of Sh4 billion ($30,815,000) against the subscription offer of Sh3.9 billion ($29,832,000), its promoter said on Thursday.

The fund, which will list on the Nairobi Securities Exchange on June 29, is Kenya's second dollar-denominated real estate investment trust.
