    Good video. Now for the case of Safaricom Mali, who is the fund manager and who is the custodian? I'd understand better with examples.

    • @MoneyVersations
      @MoneyVersations  6 місяців тому +2

      Thank you
      Mali is not a fund manager. It's an intermediary or 3rd party of sorts. The fund manager during the pilot phase ongoing has been Genghis Capital.
      So an example would be something like Genghis has a custodian and custodian who I think used to be KCB and Chase bank but not sure what they updated to after chase closed. One like Etica, custodian is Equity Bank and Trustee is Co-operative bank

  • @jeanonyango
    @jeanonyango 2 місяці тому +5

    Sadly, these Trustee & Custodian safeguards are not foolproof. Money market investors in Genghis Capital & Amana MMFs lost significant funds due to the reckless investments in Chase Bank & Nakumatt commercial paper.

    • @MoneyVersations
      @MoneyVersations  2 місяці тому

      This is Correct..

    • @user-kpkxgtj
      @user-kpkxgtj Місяць тому

      Yes, I lost money with *both* those MMFs, though in the case of Genghis it was a combination of a poorly structured trustee / custodian arrangement (which was brought to light by a bank run), plus investment in a corporate bond that went bad. In both cases customers' balances are still in limbo, with no clear plan of recovery. So every time I hear people saying MMFs are perfectly safe, I cry a little on the inside. No one really talks about what will happen in case of a bank run at the custody bank, or in case an investment in the portfolio goes bad since many MMFs don't hold 100% government paper.
      Actually someone needs to talk about Amana in some depth, their house is truly not in order to date.

      Hey Victor, I think hata hii video imekuja timely kabisa especially to address this kind of issues. Huwa unlike banks, client's funds kwa MMF haziko part of the company's capital or profits and losses. Hizo mbili ni completely separate. The company's revenue comes from the management fees they charge our funds. But pesa zetu haziko part of their profits or losses. So tuko salama kabisaaa..

    Can a mama mboga make at least ksh 200 or more by investing 1000 in two days time ?
    This is what 18 % Kenya bonds means per annum in this scheme you people love to hype means.
    Me thinks capital markets are for very idle money , busy people, lazy people and people without ideas.
    Money markets kill small economies. They take away liquidity and finally stunt growth. In small economies like Kenya, they needed to be checked carefully.
    Worse still when government agencies such as SAGAS (semi autonomous state agency )deposit funds in commercial banks which in return buy bonds from the same government using government funds and earning interest on it through the commercial banks. It's a major loophole for mega financial improprieties. Government lending itself money and paying interest on it.

      The current 18% climate is temporary. Bonds have historically paid out 8 to 11%, and market data shows this. 18%+ is a temporary thing that will not last and reflects investor sentiment (that lending to the current government is increasingly risky). Expect to see lower rates as market conditions normalise.
      Aside from that, if a government borrowing money from its citizens and paying it back at 18% is not good, then Fuliza and Mshwari shouldn't exist, and banks lending out money at 20% and above is absolutely unjust - yet that is the economic climate we are in right now, and that is how the modern economy works. Lending money for profit to willing customers is an acceptable business, just like selling mboga in a stall.
