BREAKING
DTB's Finance Director expects the Group's ROE to go back to previous levels of 13-14, even 15%.
Today, we were invited to an investors' conference.
Chairman Linus Gitahi acknowledged that shareholders feel that "the store is overflowing".
He committed to the fact that the goal is to keep the investors happy, not only in 2022, 2023, but also 2030.
They were also gathering a warchest for acquisitions before Covid happened.
Finance Director Alkarim Jiwa responded to worries about the loan book being underprovisioned by retorting that "its just not in our DNA" & reminded the roundtable that the Group has actually been accused of being TOO PRUDENT (with provisions).
He conceded that while NPLs have climbed from single digits to double digits, they see the impairments as short term.
Chairman Linus Gitahi committed to take shareholders' concerns (over capital excesses & low payouts) back to a Board meeting.
He encouraged shareholders that they may soon come back with propositions of acquisitions &/or increasing the returns.
He reiterated that they will go back & look at the fact that shareholders are saying that the Group is stingy.
The members of the investor team physically present were treated to lunch & a comprehensive tour of everything from the corporate offices to the data centres, which businessman & blogger Steve Biko called "very eye-opening".
The brilliant CEO & MD Nasim Devji closed the meeting, saying that the interaction has been excellent.
I want to greatly thank Chairman Linus Gitahi, Finance Director Alkarim Jiwa, CEO/MD Nasim Devji, Farouk Khimji & everyone in the organisation who made it happen.

Am an investor, I did not receive this invitation. How was it sent? I have very many questions for management. I have always felt like DTB is not that interested in creating shareholder value - am I wrong? Their focus is to aggregate as much deposits from their customers, give very favourable interest rates to customers and also provide loans to preferred customers - some who get jumbo loans that subsequently go bust. Their divident payout ratio is sometimes as low as 10%!!!

The question about dividends and buybacks doesn't seem to have been answered. PR tu. They don't have shares like King James in the bank. Greedy when others are fearful.

And they aren't expanding like Equity either. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

It is basically run like a sacco in the sense that the biggest stakeholders are depositors - management strives to pay them as a high an interest as possible. Everybody else is secondary. Shareholders, employees etc.

KCB used to be the bankers of Tuskys then bolted out when they saw things turning for the worse,how DTB got involved nobody knows. They then involved themselves in Brittania which went under with their money. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Then there was the 1.2 billion to the Ugandan who took them to Ugandan court to claim the loan was illegal because it was made by the Kenyan branch. I wonder where they are with this.

LINKEquity had a similar case in Ug where Simbamanyo was disputing the legality of the loan. Equity went ahead and auctioned his property after expiry of the repayment deadline. LINKSeems DTB is weak
