PRESS RELEASE
NAIROBI, Kenya – December 3, 2025 – AIB-AXYS Africa, a renowned and fully accredited brokerage firm at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) licensed by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), today announced the expansion of its investment product suite.
Responding to surging investor demand for hard currency assets and effective hedging strategies the firm has launched access to a comprehensive suite of professionally managed offshore funds.
This strategic move simplifies access to international capital markets, offering investors a robust hedge against geopolitical risk and a pathway to secure long-term growth.
As a member of the distinguished AXYS Group, a fully integrated end-to-end investment powerhouse, AIB-AXYS Africa operates as the local investor’s gateway to advanced capital markets solutions and specialised fiduciary services.
Anchored by a presence in five key financial hubs - Port Louis, Mauritius; Nairobi, Kenya; DIFC and Abu Dhabi, UAE; Geneva, Switzerland; and London, UK - the Group serves over 10,000 clients across 85 countries and 6 continents.
This extensive infrastructure and footprint serve a dual purpose: offering institutional partners the governance and execution frameworks they require, while providing private investors with diversification options.
Expanding access to international markets
The newly curated offshore suite is engineered to transcend local limitations, enabling clients to build resilient, globally diversified portfolios. The expanded offering features targeted investment vehicles, including:
Axiom Africa Equity Fund: The firm's flagship vehicle denominated in USD and EUR, which captures the continent's most promising equities through a rigorous and proprietary "quantamental" approach. The fund has demonstrated robust resilience since inception and has delivered a 37.8 percent YTD performance as of October 2025.
Shariah-Compliant Funds: To facilitate access to ethical and faith-aligned investment options through investing in Halal stocks and global Sukuk.
Diversified set of Asset Classes: A broad array of instruments that is periodically adjusted to meet changing market demands and conditions ranging from Global Equity funds; Global Fixed Income funds; International Money Market and Index Funds; Mortgage and Real Estate Funds among other selections.
"This expansion is about more than introducing new products; it reflects our broader mission to equip clients with the knowledge, access and guidance needed to navigate global markets confidently," said Mrs. Mary Maloba, Acting Chief Executive Officer of AIB-AXYS Africa. "It reinforces our commitment to long-term partnerships and thoughtful wealth stewardship."
Seamless access for investors
In line with its strategic vision to deepen investor choice, AIB-AXYS Africa has streamlined the path to global investment, removing the historical complexity of accessing offshore solutions.

At an entry point starting from USD 1000, Investors can now access these funds immediately through a simplified consultative process either in-person or by way of email.
Upon completing registration and submitting standard KYC documentation, clients are swiftly approved to fund their accounts. Once capital is deployed, investors gain full visibility into their portfolio performance through their dedicated client portal.
This offshore fund suite will soon also be accessible digitally (February 2026) via its market-leading mobile and online share trading platform, AIB-AXYS Digi Trader, which already provides users seamless access to local equities.
"Our goal is to meet investors where they are, offering solutions that adapt to their objectives while unlocking new opportunities across global markets," commented Mr. Oltele Lemek, Head of Business Development. "These offshore funds enhance our ability to provide personalized guidance and deliver meaningful outcomes, allowing both institutional clients and private investors to pursue their distinct financial goals with confidence."
