At price of 20 that gives a DY of 3.75%.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

Paltry dividend is what keeps the stock from realizing full potential. Sad

@Sparkly
At least there is guarantee that the company will not do a rights issue and take debt in the medium term.
Remember there is the IRA regulations on capital for insurance and reinsurance firms that takes effect this year

I am happy with the direction the firm is taking. Slow expansion, strong balance sheet.

(Re)Insurance firms are rated by several agencies and given 'grades' which reflect their strength and claims paying ability. Under IRA regulations, insurance firms need to keep minimum cash (or near cash) assets depending on the size of their potential liabilities.

KenRe to grow its underwriting needs to retain 'cash' to write more business. I think KenyaRe has a dividend policy based on cash earnings vs EPS.

Conservative insurance companies thrive in a volatile market.
