NAIROBI, Kenya – November 22, 2025 — NCBA Investment Bank has launched a new suite of Offshore Investment Solutions, strengthening its commitment to providing clients with professionally managed global investment opportunities, currency diversification, and long-term wealth-building tools.
“We're utilising our global presence, market knowledge and expertise to create a solid offshore investment setup. Our goal is to ensure it meets all regulatory standards in various markets and truly connects with our clients' needs, helping them invest their capital safely while aiming for reliable returns,” said Muathi Kilonzo, Managing Director, NCBA Investment Bank.
The launch comes amid increased regional macroeconomic volatility and currency depreciation pressures — factors that continue to erode the value of local-currency investments. As Kenyan investors seek safer and more diversified avenues, offshore portfolios have become a central pillar of modern wealth management.
Kenya now ranks as the fifth wealthiest nation in Africa, according to the Africa Wealth Report 2025, with 6,800 high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) — a demographic increasingly seeking global exposure.
“We see numerous opportunities for growing this business unit in Kenya given the strategic interventions made to build Nairobi as the financial centre of choice in the continent. Our Offshore solutions help clients achieve diversification away from Kenya-centric investment risk… particularly amidst concerns over sovereign risk and market uncertainty,” Muathi added.
