In an environment where economic shifts are increasingly global and wealth management requires a broader lens, NCBA Investment Bank is stepping up with solutions that reflect the realities facing today’s investors. The Bank’s new Offshore Investment Solutions mark a strategic move to equip clients with tools that preserve value, mitigate local market risks, and open doors to opportunities beyond Kenya’s borders.
Responding to Real Client Challenges
For many investors, especially in East Africa, currency pressures, fluctuating macroeconomic conditions, and uncertainties in domestic markets can significantly reduce the value of their savings and investments. Instead of waiting for conditions to stabilize, NCBA has chosen to empower its clients with access to markets that offer stronger currency options, diversified risk, and more stable long-term growth avenues.
This client-driven approach is rooted in NCBA’s understanding that wealth today cannot be protected by local assets alone. With Kenya ranked among Africa’s top wealth hubs and home to thousands of high-net-worth individuals, the demand for sophisticated, globally oriented investment solutions has never been higher.
A Global Gateway for Every Investor
NCBA’s Offshore Investment Solutions are intentionally designed to serve clients at different stages of their wealth journey, from beginners seeking global exposure to sophisticated investors who require highly customized strategies.
The offering spans three main areas:
1. Pooled Investment Funds
These are ideal for individuals who want professionally managed exposure to global markets without needing large capital. With entry points starting from USD 1,000, the funds give clients access to global fixed income, international equities, and other asset classes, all professionally managed in US Dollars.
2. Execution Mandates and Custody Services
For investors who prefer a hands-on approach, NCBA provides a platform to directly access global instruments while handling the technicalities such as asset administration and safekeeping on the client’s behalf.
3. Bespoke Segregated Portfolios
At the highest tier, NCBA offers fully tailor-made portfolios for ultra–high-net-worth clients, family offices, and institutions. These portfolios provide direct access to an expansive universe of global assets, designed around each client’s unique objectives, risk appetite, and long-term vision.
Beyond individual clients, the bank has also tailored these solutions for corporate clients with international operations and members of the diaspora who earn in foreign currencies and want investments that match their financial realities.
Built on Strong Governance and Global Standards
NCBA’s offshore offering is anchored on strict international compliance standards. The bank adheres to global KYC requirements, AML rules, and FATCA obligations. This gives clients confidence that their wealth is managed within a secure and internationally recognised framework.
Meeting Clients Where They Are
The launch of these solutions at the 5th Abojani Economic Empowerment Conference was deliberate. The conference attracts young professionals, SMEs, and emerging investors. This is an audience hungry for practical ways to build wealth sustainably. By unveiling the offering in this setting, NCBA signaled its commitment to meeting clients not just in corporate boardrooms, but in the spaces where financial conversations are happening.
A Timely Solution for a New Era of Wealth Building
As more Kenyans grow their wealth and look beyond local borders for investment opportunities, NCBA is positioning itself as a trusted partner for long-term, globally minded financial planning.
With its new Offshore Investment Solutions, the bank is responding directly to client needs, market realities, and the growing demand for global wealth management.
