Understanding the Legal Framework for Investment Funds in Kenya

Investment funds in Kenya operate under a robust, yet complex, legal framework. Key statutes such as the Capital Markets Act (Cap. 485A), the Companies Act, 2015, and regulations issued by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) govern their establishment, operation, and dissolution. Disputes often arise from breaches of fiduciary duty by fund managers, non-compliance with disclosure requirements as stipulated by the CMA, or disagreements concerning fund performance and investor rights. Understanding these legal nuances is crucial, and Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates & Mediators excels in dissecting these intricate matters. Our expertise extends to navigating disputes related to collective investment schemes, hedge funds, and private equity funds, ensuring our clients are well-represented under Kenyan law.
