I have logged into my CSFS site and viewed my shares.
Two things are not clear for me:

Market Value portfolio.
Market portfolio value after haircut.

Now why is the former of higher value than the latter?

For instance, for me, the former is KES.120,361.50 while the later 103,546.53.

Please explain.

@VVS, thats alot of money,I thought the commissions charged are normally 2% of the value of sales?
If I sell me share currently worth 120K, will I lose a whopping 17K?

Yeaah they use jana's prices to calculate the liquidable value...ooops its a Bear..@impunity ur portifolio has just lost 14% or 17K check kesho it will be worse.

@Impunity, The Market value of your shares is valued at previous closing prices while the valuation after haircut is less by 25%. The valuation after haircut is normally used on instances when one is borrowing funds against the security so as to guard the lender against market fluctuations and is at times based on the spread or in developed markets when dealing in futures this is the amount that is normally locked in though the true amount or value locked is the market value.Most markets use 25%.
So don't get worried in any way the true value of your portfolio is 120k and not 103k, its just helping you know how much you can get on your portfolio as a security for any financing or the much you can lose on the basis of the spread.

@erifloss, thanks alot for the detailed info.
I am now up to date.

But dont floss.
