Why investors flock to collective schemes and corporate bonds

Dar es Salaam. While equities still account for the largest share of investors in Tanzania, data shows government securities and collective investment schemes are drawing in new money at a pace not seen in years.

Data from the Bank of Tanzania and the Capital Markets and Securities Authority (CMSA) show that between 2022 and 2024, the number of investors has soared from 806,857 in 2022 to 1.06 million, with collective investment schemes (CIS) and bonds at the forefront of this surge.
