I am not a fan of CFC vs other banks which rely on more on EAC [especially Kenya] vs SS. I find SS a volatile market & unreliable i.e. too much gov't influence. And CFC Stanbic Bank is not listed but the Holding Company is which includes the insurance arms. At the end of the day, which is the best value?
I am going with I&M as it drops in price. I expect better results out of Mauritius & Rwanda in 3Q. An acquisition or greenfield is in the works in Uganda but that is a crowded market.
I like Equity but it faces some major challenges in 2013. After these are cleared up [or the price falls precipitously] is when I will look at Memba.
As for Simba, the NPL does worry me despite their assurances. Who is the client who restructured the loan? Is the client really back on track?

@VVS naah stop misleading folks...the insurance biz was hived off from CFC Stanbic Holdings long time ago....it is what is known as Liberty Kenya today...CFC Stanbic Holdings the listed entity is now CFC Stanbic Bank Kenya & South Sudan plus SBG Securities...all 100% subsidiaries....lets talk of EAC? where is KCB & Member making money? South Sudan....South Sudan is a relatively young untaped market...CFC will do wonders there...the $100mn trade line to the GoSS is just the beginning...I&M is good but not as attractive as CFC at current prices....CFC aims at becoming a top 4 bank in Kenya...they will do it.

@the deal - Does the current CFC Stanbic have no insurance subsidiaries or shareholding in any insurers?

BTW, their RTGS system collapsed on Monday last week. Clients were left stranded with many payments not being sent on time.

No...its just the bank & the stockbroker...could have collapsed due too overload....the banking halls are starting to get overcrowded...alot of new clients...folks switching from other banks...hopefully its back online...customer service is great there unlike Barclays...

What customer service? No-one. No-one. No-one called or e-mailed to inform clients that RTGS were delayed or cancelled. When folks on the other side [recipients] did not receive the funds & complained/informed the client is when the information was 'released' [this is on Tuesday] about the crash. For many businesses, a late payment attracts penalties, late fees, penalty interest IN ADDITION to embarrassment and loss of 'trust'.

@vvs. I think both cfc holdings and I and M will make me profits. one way or another, they are both undervalued compared with the other listed banks and they are growing their profits at a good clip. and not to forget the takeover undertones.
