No dividend until 2014. They are doing a Berkshire Hathaway...

@My 2 cents, go easy smile
I was only referring to Berkshire Hathaway's belief, being an investment company, that money should always be reinvested to growth net value of asset instead of being paid out as frequently happens in Kenya.

On another note page 10, sectoral information, shows rates of return for business lines: quoted equity, private equity, real estate infrastructure...

..he is not comparing..
centum seems to emulate berkshire on this particular action..no dividend yet.
