I concur. stocks is the way to go unless we are talking about very BIG money. in that case you're limited to the big caps like mpesa,member n simba n even then it can't work out well coz you're the market mover.

The cost has been revised upwards and this is what necessitated the bond

For those with the knowhow on bonds, how do you calculate what Britam is going to pay as interest ?

This is what they say

The Notes will mature on 15th July 2019 and carry a semiannual
fixed rate of interest of 13% p.a. (6.5% every six months)


Supposing you take for 100,000Ksh

I guess the interest will be 13000 at the end of the year (Am i right) and do you get the money (interest)before or in 2019 or its like the treasury bills? Will it be more profitable to buy the bonds for 100K or invest the 100k to buy more shares , Britam's or any other company's


Kumbe ulienda mayuu na hata haujasoma sana as we thought?

U still dont know the basics of bond trading with the apparent massive free internet access hapo DC...

Kwani kazi yako huko ni ya kuosha ornamental dolphins only?

Funny that's the only thing you pick. Who told you kusoma is when you know how to deal in bonds? yeah there is lots of information on the net but seeking a second opinion is actually wisdom. I do not have a PHD but am happy with what i have Sad Sad Sad

Before we answer your question I hope you aware the bond offer already closed.. right?

Interest rate 13% p.a. but its a five year bond.

In one year you get 104,975 interest(net of WHT).
Seeing is believing

Britam bond has been oversubscribed by 147%.Amount received is ksh.7.4 billion against a target of ksh.3b.
The company will execute the green shoe option and take up ksh.6 Billion hence there will be no other tranche.
