Double-digit returns offered by notes listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) in 2025 appear to have fuelled nearly an 80 per cent increase in pension assets allocated to corporate bonds.
New regulatory data shows that pension funds invested in commercial paper and corporate bonds grew by 77.6 per cent in 2025, the highest since the Covid pandemic, reflecting a renewed appetite for high-yield fixed-income assets.
The data similarly shows returns on the same improved by 53 per cent in 2025 compared to 2024, crossing the Sh2 billion mark.
