NCBA Bank has introduced a range of trustee services solutions, aligning with its commitment to safeguarding collective investments.

The announcement follows the acquisition of a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) trustee license from the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) in March 2024.

These trustee services cater to various needs, including managing assets during bankruptcy, overseeing retirement plans or pensions, and handling assets on behalf of others.

Under the umbrella of Trustee Services Solutions, NCBA Bank offers Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), encompassing both Development REITs (D-REITs) and Investment REITs (I-REITs), along with Unit Trust Funds.

These funds comprise a spectrum of options such as Money Market Funds, Bond Funds, Equity Funds, and Special Funds.
