Their financials seems to be taking the trajectory of HomeAfrika. Cash is king, losing money is never fun for investors as its normally the first indicator of a poorly performing business.

I have been a big supporter all along but methinks they need to reassess the real Estate market.

Figure out how to really move to the lower middle class market segment and target people who can afford mortgages in the 50K range. Or build and look to offload their real-estate inventories very quick, say in 1 year

I am curious, why does criticism of Cytonn bother you so much? If you are confident of its fundamentals, competency of the management, robustness to withstand tumults and downtrends, that your investment is safe in their hands, why do you care what we think and say? Why expend so much time chasing down every negative comment to deride it? It only makes sense if there is something in it for you -either you are a paid shill (understandable), or you are the bellwether, papering over the shit with whitewash and perfume to confuse other people to crowd into the paddock for slaughter.
Your strenuous defense of Cytonn only makes it look worse Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

@quicksand writes wisely.

You want to invest KShs 100,000, why bother putting it in Cytonn if you have doubts? If you lose money @Horton will not refund you.

There are so many investment options. If you lose money, at least do so dancing to your tune.

your theory is a non-starter sir.

Why does VVS defend KK with soo much zeal? Why does Obiero defend KQ so much? Sparkly kengen.....list goes on and on....i never saw you ask them why they defend their choices with soo much zeal?! On other forums, it gets soo personal, they start involving abuses ...everyone has their "holy grail" of investments this one is mine.

I will agree to u sir.

Look all i say here is, if you have a GENUINE reason that this thing is a hoax, kindly state your facts and they will be appreciated. My friends and I are heavy into this thing and so far so good. But if its like 99% of the comments here which are just kelele with no tangibles...then perhaps u stop wasting our time.

I love reading their reports because you can see the reasoning and breakdown with data on the property market. This report is very insightful.
That said I wonder how much it would cost for the detailed report? I am especially interested in the CBD data and details. Is that data for sale??

Anyway if this is a free report and if Cytonn takes this level of diligence with their investments I can only conclude that they will be a big success!

Cytonn eyes Sh5bn bond in Kiambu housing plans

Quote:
Real estate-focused private equity fund Cytonn plans to float a Sh5 billion housing bond by year-end, partly to finance projects that should deliver more than 600 units to the market.

The PE firm is seeking a financial consultant to steer the listing of the proposed mid-term note and advise on the tenor, pricing and tax-exemption eligibility of the debt security to be listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange.


Pesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.

They are very aggressive. Edwin, Arora, Liz seem to know their stuff.


What I like about them is that there is a legal contract between the two of you guys, ..unlike FEP,unaitas and others where there is no such.downside is the minimum deposit .they want 1 million minimum deposit. Is there anyone who has experience with these guys

I lost some 500,000 investment in Homeafrika. Any company that comes with alot media hype is a no go for me. Too much money is spent in attracting new business. Very aggressive marketing strategies. No way.

Tick tock, this thing will crash watch this space. Anyone seen FY 2016 financials? Shocking what they're doing. Not a single complete project and they're accounting for them as "Investment property" and booking capital gains. Also, 90%+ of their assets is this investment property and yet their key products are cash management solutions i.e. short term.

Check financials. I thought this was a forum for open debate and discussion. If you have a point, then correct my logic using facts rather than calling me ignorant or saying that I have nothing to say. I though Wazua was one of the few forums where people actually exchange ideas. Review financials, check balance sheet, read notes 4 - 30.

1. CMS is not the key product for Cytonn
2. How would you like them to account for the property they have bought and developing if not as investment property?
3. How would you like them to account for the gain in their properties they are developing?

CMS is used as source of funds. It's equivalent to borrowing.

True, thanks for the fact-based rebuttal. Indeed IAS 40 allows for ongoing construction projects to be accounted for as investment property if in future they will be used as investment property i.e. land held for long-term capital appreciation, land held for a currently undetermined future use, building leased out under an operating lease, vacant building held to be leased out under an operating lease. If the properties are to be sold then they should be accounted for as Inventory with no fair value gains. I think Cytonn are building to sell so the latter should apply with no fair value gains accruing to the company. Am I wrong or ignorant here??? Please check my logic and I'll accept if I'm wrong.


Secondly, the point on CMS is, how are they raising their liquidity. If I'm not wrong (and again correct me if I'm wrong cause that's what Wazua is there for), they are offering high yielding cash products (isn't that CMS). If CMS wasn't a product, why is it accounted for as a liability?

So if a company is raising cash through high yielding cash products and constructing to sell whilst booking fair value gains, doesn't that raise a couple of red flags?
