NCBA Bank has unveiled its new NCBA Offshore Investment Solutions, a move aimed at helping Kenyans and regional investors protect and grow their wealth amid economic uncertainty. The launch marks a major step by the bank as more clients seek global diversification, currency protection, and professionally managed international investment opportunities.
Why NCBA Offshore Investment Solutions Matter Now
Speaking at the launch, NCBA Wealth Management Managing Director Muathi Kilonzo said the new platform is designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s investor, who is increasingly looking beyond local markets.
“Our clients want safe, reliable, and well-structured international investment options,” he noted. “Through NCBA Offshore Investment Solutions, we’re giving them access to global markets while maintaining strong regulatory compliance and risk management.”
He added that the bank is leveraging its global footprint and economic expertise to create a platform that aligns with international standards and long-term client goals.
A Shift Driven by Economic Reality
Across East Africa, fluctuations in local currencies have eroded the value of traditional savings, prompting investors to rethink how they store and grow their money. For many, NCBA Offshore Investment Solutions bring renewed confidence through currency diversification, exposure to global assets, and protection against regional market shocks.
Kenya’s expanding wealth class is also shaping this shift. The Africa Wealth Report 2025 ranks Kenya fifth in Africa with more than 6,800 high-net-worth individuals many of whom are actively seeking global investment avenues.
According to Kilonzo, offshore investments help clients spread risk across jurisdictions and asset classes, especially during periods of economic uncertainty.

Through NCBA Offshore Investment Solutions, clients can now choose from a wide portfolio depending on their financial goals:
Pooled Investment Funds
These include the NCBA Global Fixed Income Special Fund and NCBA Global Equity Special Fund, both denominated in US Dollars, with a minimum entry of USD 1,000.
Execution Mandates & Custody Services
