Speaking at the forum, Moses Njuguna, Senior Financial Advisor at Cytonn Investments discussed the importance of setting aside funds for investment as a progressive way of saving. “Most people think that you only invest what remains after you have settled your bills and set aside money for a rainy day. The best practise would be to identify an investment opportunity that would grow the value of your savings while ensuring its security.” Moses also trained the participants on how to plan their finances effectively as well as the factors that influence various investment solutions.
