Kenyan Law: Wealth, Investment, and Succession
We collectively provide a multifaceted overview of the Kenyan financial and legal landscape, with a strong focus on capital markets and wealth management. Several documents detail the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) regulatory environment, outlining licensing requirements for various entities—such as investment advisors and securities dealers—and summarizing the vast array of financial products available, including bonds, Collective Investment Schemes, and derivatives.
In parallel, advisory material addresses the critical risks facing Kenyan investment managers, highlighting the necessity of specialized insurance like Professional Indemnity (PI) and Directors and Officers (D&O) liability to mitigate regulatory, advisory, and governance exposures. Finally, two sources relate to wealth preservation and succession planning in the High-Net-Worth (HNW) sector, featuring discussions from a private wealth conference on topics like advanced tax structuring, global diversification, and complex family law matters under the Law of Succession Act.
