The Kenya Association of Investment Groups (KAIG) is a non-profit making organisation registered under the Societies Act. It is the umbrella body association for all investment groups in Kenya and Kenyans in the diaspora.

KAIG provides a unique forum for the hundreds of investment groups all over Kenya to network and work together to achieve their objectives. The association's mission is to provide efficient, value added services in the promotion of formal organisation, best practice and profitable investments for investment groups.

KAIG aims to become an excellent facilitator for investment group's empowerment to ensure maximisation of their investment potential through the following objectives:

Promoting best practice: To promote the establishment, growth and good management of investment groups by encouraging the setting up of formal structures, and provision of information on technical modalities of various structures.

Education: To provide training and education on the current avenues of investment available to investment groups, as well as creating a platform to educate members on new avenues of investment.

Networking and fostering linkages: To provide a forum for investment groups' members to network, share experiences and inform each other on best management practices and investment opportunities. KAIG also procures alliance, affiliation or other synergies with bodies that have similar or beneficial objectives locally and globally. It also negotiates for preferential terms of service from brokers, banks and other service providers for members.

Lobbying: KAIG provides a forum for investment groups to articulate their issues and to provide them with a voice to effect change, and promotes the interests of investment groups by interacting with and lobbying the government and operators in the financial and capital markets.
