Insurance stocks likely to under-perform: Last year the insurance companies registered a positive performance being full beneficiaries of the strong run recorded by the Kenyan equities market (The Kenyan equities market was second best in Africa in 2010). This is as a result of the insurance companies large investments in the equities market thus benefitting from the market rise. We expect the Kenyan equities market to close in the negative, and this trend should therefore reverse the gains registered by the insurance companies. We are likely to see these stocks recording further weakness as the market pre-empts this possibility.


Britak is in this category, all things look bleak for this firm.

Av been studying the price movements of several counters in the past month and av realized that its a little bit tricky to get a good gain on them considering the fact that the transaction fees will eat up part of the capital gain.
I had in mind NMG,EABL,DTB & Equity.I might still speculate on them but al increase my duration.

@Gordon gekko & Invest0r,i agree on the T-bills.The rates are the best so far but i believe that there are better investment options.
If you have a loose 1million or more,try commercial papers...nakumatt is a good one tho aint sure if they still need money.


@ Waguma..How does one trade on commercial papers here in kenya? en which companies have traded in them and how was the performance
The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence

@QD,the most active company thats doing commercial papers in Kenya is Dry associates and its in Westlands.
They place the papers for companies that want short term funds from the public at a premium rate due to the high risk.They they invite investors to buy the papers for durations of 3months to yr.Last i checked they had Nakumatt,crown berger,Davis & shirtliff,TPS.The minimum investment was 1m but i heard that they reduced to 450k.If interested holla so that i give you contacts of their investment analysts.
