For Kes. 1,000,000 deposited for 12 months Fualu gives interest of Kes.102,000 (12%)

CBK's 364-day T-Bill gives Kes. 95,395 in interest.

A Bank fixed deposit is now beating CBK T-bills down, I haven't seen this for a very loooong time.

How safe is this Faulu thing?
Why are guys still oversubscribing T-Bills at the rate of over 300% when we have "free" money at Faulu Kenya?

d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!

the big question is how viable is this faulu rate or is it a way of raising capital

Faulu rate is 13% net.No hidden charges unlike unit trusts or T bills.

The ad I saw said 12%

What hidden charges are there on T-Bills?
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Its just a question of how secure you feel between faulu and cbk

@Impunity, hesabu zakukanganya. 364 day Tbill is attracting an interest rate of 12.676% which is higher than the 12% being given by Faulu

Interestingly, they don't have their financial reports in the website.... makes you think, doesn't it?

Also, earlier this morning, I thought I saw two ads in that website: one saying that fixed deposits are paying 13% and another one saying 12%.

It is also not clear whether what they are advertising is after or before withholding tax.... now talk about "hidden" charges!
