Jubilee Asset Management Limited (JAML) has reached a major operational milestone, expanding its total Assets Under Management (AUM) to Ksh. 259 billion. Driven by a surge in demand for professionally managed products among individual and institutional investors, the fund manager’s latest portfolio highlights a remarkable financial turnaround and aggressive expansion into the retail segment.

The asset manager’s total portfolio now consists of Ksh. 225 billion in institutional managed funds alongside a rapidly expanding Ksh. 34 billion retail footprint.

The expansion of JAML’s retail segment reflects a sharp upward trajectory over consecutive financial periods:

  • FY2024 to FY2025: Retail AUM jumped 148%, climbing from Ksh. 8.9 billion to Ksh. 22.1 billion.
  • Post-FY2025 Momentum: Retail assets surged an additional 54% (up Ksh. 11.9 billion), reaching the current Ksh. 34 billion mark.

This asset expansion builds directly on JAML’s FY2025 financial recovery, during which the firm reported a 131% increase in revenue to Ksh. 415 million. Profit before tax reached Ksh. 30 million, marking a Ksh. 87 million net improvement year-over-year.

In recognition of its recent growth trajectory, Jubilee Asset Management was named the Fastest Growing Asset Management Company in Kenya 2026 by the Global Banking & Finance Awards.

“Investors are increasingly looking for asset managers who can help them navigate volatility, protect their wealth, and identify sustainable opportunities for long-term growth,” noted Cliff Bakashaba, Acting Chief Executive Officer at JAML. “This recognition demonstrates the confidence investors continue to place in our investment approach as we focus on disciplined, transparent, and consistent outcomes.”

The firm’s rapid scaling coincides with a broader expansion across the African investment landscape, where pension funds and collective investment schemes currently hold over USD 600 billion in capital. JAML aims to capitalize on this shifting market dynamic by converting traditional, conservative holdings into diversified, productive investments, furthering its goal to improve financial wellness across East Africa.
