Meanwhile, the government is planning to unleash in November the mother of all infrastructure bonds worth Kshs.150B.


You mean the one of Kenya Roads Board


Looks like it will be a shortish paper... Rather medium term instead of a long ended one.


Less than 10 years Tenor?

The secondary maket is all over the place... Stanchart are the only ones enjoying, hitting their clients with crazy rates for IFB 23.... 100 bps profit on their end. Crazy. I wonder what the guys buying will do if they ever want to sell........

Anyone know the process of buying bonds on secondary market?


If you go through the daily/weekly bond price list you will notice that most trades are in lots of 100m,anything below this figure is normally traded as an odd lot,buying a bond for let's say 50k or 100k is almost close to impossible as most people who buy such small lots at the primary tend to hold to maturity...I think it's high time someone started a trading desk for small lots...upto maybe 10m.



well that someone could be me and you ;-)


Commissions are too low for bonds. Not worth the effort. And the paperwork is more than trading equities.


It came to work out... If you go through the price list retail trade has picked up. Took a few years but things are working out.

That would imply that the coupon rate shall be correspondingly low.

IFB 1/2020/009 is the closest to this... Coupon is at 10.85% ... Bump it up to 11.00 - 11.20%

IFB 1/2017/12 has 2661 days to maturity... 7.2 years... Coupon 12.50% but trading at 108.8 (Implied YTM of 10.33%). Coupon Feb 21st 2022. Interesting 100 days apart but the latter is much better in pricing....

For those who bank with Stanchart I am sure you have received an email from them that they can purchase for you Govt bonds.

Now from their app they are selling IFB 23 (IFB 1/2021/21) at levels of 11.78- 11.85%.

At such low YTMs what happens if you want to sell your paper after a few years ? Who will you sell it to? Or I am the one who doesn't understand how this works? Or the assumption is you will hold the paper to maturity?

Thanks @ maka,
It seems that the 5 year new bond was a lot more popular than the 20 year reopened bond.
A coupon of 11.277% is good for me.
I hope the upcoming IFB due this month is as per your posts, also a similar shorter term bond.

Demand mostly from banks. I hear ABSA went in huuuuuge at 11.05%.
That IFB is becoming dodgy let us wait and see...

Thanks @maka.
Any idea how the IFB is getting dodgy?
As you say, let us wait and see.

No info at all... Silence unless they want to surprise us. Btw we only have one bond auction left for the year...🙂
