From 2004 to date my portofolio comprises :-
KCB, EABL, KPLC,KENGEN, BBK, EQUITY, ARM
soley from Financial and Industrials
As long term term income is my investment objectective when I fully return to invest in NSE my thoughts is to widen the horizon further to include the following dividend yield counters:-
Safcom, NMG (
Commercials)SCB (
Financial)Kenoil or Total, Bamburi or EAPC
Indus(trials)This will likely be a widest exposure I have in any African market not even my local market Nigeria.
I see a lot of opportunities in blue chips of Kenya bourse.
After KCB rights later in the year I hope to retire from further investment in KCB and explore other opportunities on other counters. No particular reason though , just that I have had enough of it (5 digits holding pre 201 rights), just to balance my portfolio. I have been lucky with KCB and I have invested on six different occasion thus :-
Nov 2004 58 Bob
March 2005 69 Bob
Feb 2006 98 Bob
June 2008 (rights) 25 Bob
Aug 2008 17.50 Bob
Oct 2008 18.50 Bob
At a current price of 23 Bob (Pre 2007 split 230 bob), the most expensive price I have paid for KCB is the 1 for 9 rights price of 25 bob.Happy investing !!!
