This is what happens when one gets trapped with a golden handcuff. While one is fascinated by the glittering gold, the cuffs do their job. When you finally realize what's happening, you're already in jail without trial!

That is one harsh reversal, @realtreaty doesn't sound so optimistic anymore. I beacem suspicious of this company and in extension HFCK (though i really like HFCK)

I will jump in@10 coz already am badly bruised after buying @17.25 and exiting @16.85 . Since then the price has been on the downward trend.

The James Mwangi - Peter Munga group is going to have a rough time in 2016.

Britam - Issues abound. Biashara is tough and in a tough economy fraud rises while insurance uptake drops.
HFCK - Higher interest rates will hurt.
Equity - Margin compression, higher interest rates, etc. Equitel is building up momentum but it faces hurdles too.

All that said... there are opportunities at the right price.

@VituVingiSana
And having issued a profit warning for FY2015 results things are tough for the company;
--The Dande group moved with ksh.2bn worth of business for the asset management when they formed Cytonn Investments which is doing quite well.
--Interest payments on the ksh.6bn corporate bond they issued last year.
--They now have two complete buildings in Upper hill with occupancy very low i.e Former Real insurance two buildings.When Real merged with Britam the operations were combined at Britam towers.
--BAAM has hired Kenneth kaniu to be the MD;he was formerly at STANLIB and very little is known about him in terms of track record.How he performs at BAAM is unknown.
--The old club/axis of Benson Wairegi,Jimnah Mbaru,Peter Munga and James Mwangi haven't groomed any successor to take over once Wairegi retires.Wairegi is currently 68 years.The old club have maintained a tight grip and little is known about potential successor because of underhand dealings on-going which they don't want to expose.
--The exposure to Equity for Britam is too heavy currently at 20% of total assets;Equity Bank is currently facing heavy scrutiny from CBK same as HFCK.
