Investments & Returns

You can invest in Treasury Bonds, Unit Trusts, Fixed Income and Thematic Equity Portfolio available through the platform.

Your money is invested into selected financial products that generate returns over time. Depending on the product, returns may be paid periodically or grow your investment value.

Returns depend on the investment product. Some options are lower risk and more predictable, while others may vary. You will always see the details before you invest.
Each investment has its own time horizon. Some are short-term, while others are designed for longer-term wealth building.

Start with what you want your money to achieve. Compare the available products based on your investment goal, expected return, investment period, liquidity and risk. Level provides the key information and terms for each product so you can compare your options before investing.

Institutional Services

We work with businesses, SACCOs and cooperatives, financial institutions, investment groups, fintechs and other organizations looking to manage or deploy capital more effectively.

Level Africa provides three core For Business services: Portfolio Management, Cash Management and Fund Hosting. Each service is designed around how an organization needs to manage capital, investments or investment operations.

Portfolio Management helps organizations structure and manage their investments across appropriate asset classes based on their objectives, risk considerations and investment horizon.

Depending on the mandate, this can include portfolio construction, asset allocation, performance monitoring, rebalancing and risk management.

Cash Management helps organizations manage liquidity and put idle or excess capital to work through suitable investment opportunities while considering their operational cash requirements.

We help assess your liquidity needs and allocate available capital to suitable investment options, allowing funds that are not immediately required for operations to potentially generate returns.

Fund Hosting gives organizations access to the infrastructure and operational capabilities needed to launch and operate investment products without having to build the entire investment infrastructure themselves.
