1. What is Cytonn Money Market Fund?

The Cytonn Money Market Fund (MMF) is an investment product that offers competitive returns through interest compounding. It provides investors with an opportunity to earn returns on their principal while maintaining liquidity.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the compound interest formula:

Where:

• \( Principal \) — Initial investment amount in KES
• \( Rate \) — Annual interest rate (as decimal)
• \( Compounds \) — Number of compounding periods per year
• \( Time \) — Investment period in years

Explanation: The formula calculates how much your investment will grow based on compound interest, where interest is earned on both the principal and accumulated interest.

3. Importance of Compound Interest

Details: Compound interest allows investments to grow exponentially over time. The more frequent the compounding, the greater the returns. Understanding this helps in making informed investment decisions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal in KES, annual rate as decimal (e.g., 0.08 for 8%), compounding frequency (e.g., 12 for monthly), and time in years. All values must be positive.
