You Deserve a Secure, Regulated
& Profitable Real Estate Investment
In a market where many Kenyans lose capital to illiquid land, hidden fees, and unregulated real estate schemes, Vuka offers a safer and better alternative.
In partnership with Acorn Investment Management Limited, the pioneers behind Africa’s first Student Accommodation Real Estate Investment Trusts (ASA REITs) - Vuka enables you to invest in a professionally managed, income-generating real estate portfolio, without the risks traditionally associated with traditional land-buying (illiquid plots) and unregulated "real estate" schemes.
What Are REITs?
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are Kenya’s first regulated real estate securities.
They offer fractional ownership of income-generating properties and allow multiple assets to be pooled into a single, diversified investment vehicle, which investors hold through tradable units.
Why Vuka?
Authorised by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), Vuka is Kenya’s first regulated, tech-enabled real estate investment platform.
When you invest through Vuka, you are investing in the Acorn REITs, the investment vehicle that owns Qwetu and Qejani Student Residences. Vuka gives you the opportunity to own a share of institutional-grade real estate, earn rental income paid out as dividends twice a year, and benefit from long-term capital appreciation. All within a regulated and transparent framework.
