Kenyan investors will now have a direct avenue to global equities following the listing of the Satrix MSCI World Feeder Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE).
The ETF achieves its objective by investing in the iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF, ensuring alignment with the MSCI World Index both in capital appreciation and income distribution.
The NSE has positioned this listing as part of a broader strategy to deepen its product offering and increase integration with international financial markets.
NSE Chief Executive Frank Mwiti noted that the introduction of the ETF enhances investor choice and aligns with the exchange’s ambition to offer a more globally connected trading environment.
The new ETF is expected to attract both retail and institutional investors seeking long-term, globally diversified exposure without the complexities and costs of offshore investing.
