No reason to panic sell yet.
Core business still growing.
Net assets looking good.
Premiums growing.
Shareholders funds increasing.

Paper losses on listed equities and IFRS 9 are storms that can be weathered. Buying HFCK was always a wrong move from the start, but Britam is stuck with it.

Dividend drought for the year is practical. Better than eating into reserves and then calling for a rights issue.

Kenya’s largest insurance company, Britam is in discussions to own part of Tiserin Capital, a Private Equity company focused on African investments. The insurer aims to spread out its investments beyond real estate, stocks, and government securities.

Although the exact details on the transaction are not clear, Britam’s board has approved the acquisition and it is set to be the largest investor in the PE firm as per the Business Daily.

Tiserin Capital invests in healthcare, technology companies, agri-business, and the food industry.

Britam’s CEO Mr. Benson Wairegi said, “We are excited about this new partnership with Tiserin Capital that introduces us directly into the private equity space, an area with considerable potential in the region.”

Tiserin Capital Chief Executive Officer shared his delight on the partnership saying, “We are impressed by Britam’s regional expansion, its push for innovation and the stamp of approval provided by leading investors such as IFC, Swiss-Re and AfricInvest.”

Private Equity companies are largely responsible for the exponential growth in sectors such as financial services, healthcare, education, and manufacturing in most African nations. Local and international investors are moving their funds to private equity with the hope of generating higher returns than in traditional investments such as bonds, stocks, and property.

In the last financial year, Britam made a huge net loss of KSh2.2 billion. The loss was largely attributed to a decline in the value of investments in the stock market. Britam’s partial acquisition of Tiserin will provide the insurer indirect ownership in the companies the PE firm invests in.

This sounds like Matu of Olympia and his escapades around the SA world cup. Exotic sounding investments don't lead to good returns. Britam needs a whole management shakeup, the seem to be out of touch with reality. They are too focused on being posh ignoring the reality on the ground. They thought upperhill real estate will do well but turns that location is no longer hot. Asking prices in that locale have started trending downwards. Even rental rates have stagnated.

NSE is almost at the same level it was under Moi around April 1999 (index 2767) next two years the index went to all time low of 1050s. If it repeats then the shareholders here will be burnt to recognition

This is very serious. I recently asked a seasoned businessman his comparison in his business performance between Moi's time and now. He felt its worse now. Dont know how true that is statistically but wukans statement is very telling.
