🧵 Capital Gains Tax on NSE — what every Kenyan investor needs to understand. My take plus open floor for corrections 👇🇰🇪 #NSEKenya #InvestKE.

Saving more than 30% of your net income should be a good habit or at least a good target for your long term financial wellbeing.

KPLC has recruited 450 new Engineers. The jobs were never advertised for competitive recruitment and 418 Engineers are from one community.

Kenya Re plans to enter into asset management to diversify income beyond reinsurance. The move could see it manage money for corporates and institutions and earn fee-based income.

Which stock would you confidently hold if the market closed for five years?

I will diversify but must have own house first. 15M to a 3 bedroom on a 1/4 acre plot in a good suburban location. 20M to Equity stocks - to earn 1.5M dividends & grow long term. 20M to BAT stocks. Should earn > 2.5M dividend. 5M to an MMF earning > 45K p.m for short term needs & ready liquidity. 10M to a special fund to earn 500K every quarter. 25M in a 50 acre ranch in Laikipia for bull rearing. I will eat meat only from my grass-fed cattle. 5M to a charity fund in a special fund to earn 1M annually and fund education needs for the less privileged in my community.

Build your positions in companies that will continue to pay you more and more dividends each year 💵 Reinvest all the payments in the same stocks or bonds 🔁 If you can do this year after year, you will have a massive war chest of income 📈 My NSE top picks are BAT, DTB, NCBA, Stanbic, and Standard Chartered.

If you’re still hunting for dividend yields this month, there are only a few big names left before their books lock closure; 1. ​BAT Kenya: May 8, Ksh 60.00 2. ​Stanbic Holdings: May 15, Ksh 18.55 3. Equity Group: May 22, Ksh 5.75 4. Diamond Trust Bank, DTB: May 22, Ksh 9.00

Most people are more interested in showing others they have money than actually having money. Instead of focusing on building emergency savings, investing for retirement, or building wealth, they prioritize appearances - expensive clothes, cars, outings, or maintaining a social media lifestyle just to impress others. Morgan Housel once said, “Spending money to show people how much money you have is the fastest way to have less money.”

Financial ages: The 20's -Learn to budget -Have an e-fund -Invest in learning The 30's -Build savings -Invest in assets -Build a + credit score The 40's -Home ownership -Review retirement plan -Update health insurance The 50's -Pay off mortgage -Diversify and protect assets

When money starts coming in after long stints of being broke, the biggest mistake is spending to catch up. Money that comes fast can also leave fast if you don’t give it structure. Clear debts, build savings, and invest before increasing your expenses. Structure is money management tools like automatic transfers to SACCO, unit trust funds, shares CDS accounts, or check-off payments for acquisitions of cash flow assets.

I'm in my 20s. Is it a good idea to invest 90% of my funds, remain with only 10K for use and savings? Sometimes I find myself in a position where I want to invest ALL my funds and remain with nothing. Am I greedy or is this normal?

If you invest Sh 500,000 in I&M fixed rate medium term note (first tranche) with a coupon rate of 12.20% p.a, you will receive Sh 25,925 every 6 months. Then, at the end of the five years and six months, you get your initial investment of Sh 500,000 back. In total, you will get Sh 785,175 from your investment. Withholding tax: 15%.

When I hit Sh 10M invested in competitive cash flow investments, I will be able to withdraw Sh 800K per year and never run out of money. Assuming a worst-case scenario, 8% annual market returns will allow me live on Sh 66K per month. To know how much you need invested by retirement, assume 8% annual returns from assets then multiply total annual costs by 12.5.

Dividend investing takes a lot of money to generate a good sized income, but once you build it, it pays you passively for the longest time. Own profitable, stable companies instead of companies with momentary capital gains but no solid fundamentals. With banking stocks closing books for dividend payment, prices are falling. Position yourself for the next wave.

Investing can be risky, but it has the potential to grow your money faster than a savings account. For instance, if you deposit Sh100,000 in a savings account with a 3.22% interest rate, it would amount to Sh196,600 after 30 years. On the other hand, if you invest Sh100,000 in an investment account that yields an average of 9% annually, your money could grow to about Sh1,473,057.61 after 30 years.

Gentlemen, Treat your investments like bills that you HAVE to pay every month. ‘Taxing yourself first’ means setting aside a portion of your salary that will be invested and put to work. Channel self payments to money market funds, SACCO accounts, etc. Have you paid yourself this month?

@TheAbojani Can we get dividend too from zidii trader or only other known brokers

You can earn about Ksh 10,000 from a Ksh 100,000 investment in BAT stock. BAT Kenya's book closure date for a dividend of Ksh 60.00 per share will be on Friday, the 8th of May 2026.
