Cytonn Investments is an alternative investment manager, with
real estate development capability, and a primary focus on private equity and
real estate investments in the high growth Kenyan Region. Cytonn has a unique
strategy of coupling two compelling demand areas – the lack of high yielding
investment products due to the large banking spread, and the lack of
institutional grade real estate; by providing high yielding instruments to
attract funding from investors, and we deploy that funding to investment grade,
well planned and comprehensive real estate developments that are largely
pre-sold. With offices in Nairobi, Nakuru, Nyeri and Kisumu – Kenya and
Washington, DC – USA, we are primarily focused on offering alternative
investment solutions to global and local institutional investors, individual
high net-worth investors, and diaspora investors interested in the East-African
region.
Real estate investments are made through our development
affiliate, Cytonn Real Estate, where we currently have over Kshs. 82 billion
(USD 820 mn) of projects under mandate across ten projects. In private equity,
we invest in banking, education, and hospitality. Our financial services
investments in Sub Saharan Africa are made through our Cytonn Africa Financial
Fund (CAFF). Investments in education and hospitality are made through Cytonn
Education Services and Cytonn Hospitality, respectively.
