2. FUND MANAGER’S REPORT AND OUTLOOK
Fund Objective
The Cytonn High Yield Fund is a specialized Collective Investment Scheme with exposure skewed towards investment in real estate assets.
The Fund aims at capital preservation while earning high returns and maintaining su¬fficient liquidity. The Fund aims to achieve above
average returns that not only beat inflation but are also better than the yields offered by both government securities and fixed deposits.
Portfolio Strategy
The fund will largely be invested in fixed income and real estate related securities. Being a specialized Fund, the Fund can invest up to
80.0% in Real Estate funds, but to ensure su¬fficient diversification, no single investment should be more than 25.0% of the portfolio unless
in special cases.
During the month, yields on the shorter-dated Government papers were on a downward trajectory, with the 364-day, 182-day and 91-day
papers yields decreasing by 7.1 bps and 11.8 bps and 9.9 bps to 16.8%, 16.6% and 15.8% respectively, from 16.9%, 16.7% and 15.9% recorded
the previous month. Additionally, the Kenyan Shilling marginally depreciated by 1.6 bps against the US Dollar to close the month at Kshs
129.2, remaining relatively unchanged from end of August 2024.
The August 2024 inflation rate increased marginally by 0.1% points to 4.4%, from the 4.3% recorded in July 2024. Notably, inflation has
remained within the CBK target range of 2.5%-7.5% for the past fourteen months.
Portfolio Performance
The Cytonn High Yield Fund delivered an average return of 24.0% p.a. beating the inflation rate of 4.4% in the month of August to deliver
positive real returns.
