Any Financial Advisors in the house? What services do you offer and are you fee only or do you work on commissions?

@guru.... What services do you offer? Im guessing stocks trading on behalf of clients is included. How about insurance and tax advice?

It is always advisable to deal with a company than individual in financial advisory services.

It is not a matter of trust but that of statuory requirement.
.
- Individual can disappoint in terms of availability when you want to take a decision,

- Team work is absolutely necessary to make investment decisions


From the writes ups I see I believe Mr Guru267 is good, but does he has a legitimate financial advisory company with valid licence ?

For my friend KK (Investors lounge) it is difficult to tell whether that is his speciality,you know there are a lot of talents here, but it is a different ball game whether that is his area of specialisation and if he has a valid licence to operate.

I am not there in Nairobi but I like investment decisions of westland based Dry Associates
www.dryassociates.com both in Kenyanan market and overseas and they have a basket of fixed income products.

The only problem is their initial investment value may be high, you can also google to see other advisory professionals in Kenya.

I am not ruling out Guru267 & KK if they meet your requirements, but the gentlemen should have valid licence under company name to operate to provide adequate protection to investors.




This is my opinion.



The wazua spirit as members is to educate and inform and learn from others within the limit of what we know in any chosen area irrespective of our differences in tribes, nationalities, etc. .

Thanks young for the insight. Are financial advisors licensed by the CMA and if so what requirements do they need to meet? If the requirements are easy for any one to meet then this would disqualify the need to hold licensing with high regard. Whats your take on this Young?

young, guru is a miss. And I once asked karanja to offer his opinion on stocks and he said he reserves that analysis for his 'paying clients'. so I'm guessing he does that for a living.

The so called advisors, what accreditation do they hold? I am tired of quacks in Kenya. Everyone who is passionate about something suddenly become advisors????
