Unique contribution to theory, practice, and policy: The findings from the study will be used by various regulators (CMA) in different jurisdictions to improve on their financial performance. The findings of this study will assist the Unit Trust firms to monitor the key financial variables and understand; the extent to which firm financing can affect performance. Information acquired from this study will help the investors and customers understand key variables that affect financial performance. This study sought to fill the gap that existed in the literature concerning the effect of firm financing on performance of Unit Trust firms in Kenya.
