The study looked at how the size of investment portfolios affects the financial performance of investment firms in Kenya. They analyzed data from 45 firms over a 5-year period and found that most funds were invested in stocks, followed by real estate and then bonds and money market funds. Stocks gave the highest returns, while real estate gave the lowest. The researchers suggest that having between 16 to 20 stocks in a portfolio could help diversify risk and improve overall performance.
