An Investment group or chama is any collection of individuals or legal persons in any form whatsoever including but not limited thereto: societies registered under the societies Act, partnerships and limited liability companies whose objective is the pooling together of capital and or resources with the aim of using the collated resources for investment purposes.

There has been no formal research into the exact number but our informal research estimates 1in 3 working Kenyans is a member of an investment group and these groups control assets of approximately Ksh 60 billion.

Generally, an investment group is any group of individuals, who pool resources together, to invest in a project that will yield a profit, which will be shared among the members in prescribed ratio. These groups are developed by a people who share similar social interests and a desire to learn more about investing.

Usually, when one talks of an investment group, many often associate this with an organization that solely deals with shares and other similar securities traded in the stock exchange. However, the truth lies in the definition of an investment group. It therefore follows that even those groups that invest in real estate or general business should fall under the category of investment groups.

In Kenya most investment groups have been formed to buy land (the Nyakinyuas of the sixties), though of late there has been many groups mushrooming to buy shares from 2004.

More than 40% of all employed Kenyans below 30 years are members of this or that investment group

well. there is strength in numbers. With more capital pooled, its easier to diversify your investment portfolio.
Transcentury (with a portfolio of over 9 billion shillings)is Kenya's shining example of what can be achieved by pooling resources together.
