  abstract = {This study presents a comprehensive dataset of Kenyan
    Collective Investment Schemes and their performance from 2014 to
    2024. By leveraging web crawling techniques on Capital Markets
    Authority (CMA) and Cytonn Research reports, we compiled data on
    Effective Annual Rates for Money Market Funds (KES) and Assets Under
    Management for the schemes (Money Market Fund, Equity Fund, Fixed
    Income Fund, Balanced Fund, and Special Funds). The research process
    involved data sourcing, cleaning, and basic exploratory analysis,
    resulting in a standardized dataset suitable for further research.
    We provide two primary visualizations: plots of Annual Rates for
    MMFs (KES) and Assets Under Management over time. This dataset aims
    to serve as a foundation for researchers, investors, and industry
    stakeholders to conduct more in-depth analyses of Kenya’s collective
    investment landscape. By archiving and publishing this data, we
    contribute to the accessibility and transparency of financial
    information in the Kenyan market.}
