Why we Built a Banking Sector ETF for Kenya
Kenyan banks are among the most liquid stocks, have delivered some of the strongest returns, and have proven resilient through the cycles.
So we made it simple: One ETF. One basket. Kenya’s banking sector.
Introducing the WSA Banking ETF
The stock market is arguably the greatest wealth-creation platform ever built. grateful to be part of this ecosystem.

If Africa’s markets are among the best performing in the world, why is global capital still hesitant?
For @ericasuma of @kenyanwalstreet , the gap comes down to education and awareness. Speaking on a panel at Africa PR Week, Eric pointed out that some African markets are up by 30 to 40% over the past year, against roughly 10 to 15% for the S&P 500. Yet many global investors still see risk first when they look at the continent.
Risk exists in other regions too, and money still flows there. The real question is how the return measures up against the risk. Answering it takes good data and intelligence, and investing in these markets also has to become easier.
That makes this a communication challenge as much as a financial one. The opportunities are there, and our work as communicators is to help the right people see them clearly.

Broadcast and brokerage are collapsing into one platform.
@brianmfoote, CRO & Board Member of FINTECH Media Group, tells @lucytokenbay the goal is to make world-class exchange content "immediately transposable to the user" so they can "move into action" instead of juggling "three to five to seven different platforms."

This was an incredible week
I had the privilege of leading my Team at @NSE_PLC and the Capital Markets Industry in hosting ALHAJI ALIKO DANGOTE.

I asked Aliko Dangote about the funding architecture for the East Africa Refinery:
· Is the plan still a 70:30 debt-to-equity split?
· There have been expressions of interest for co-investing, including from Kenya's National Infrastructure Fund. How much has been crowded in so far?
Dangote says:
· The governments of Kenya, Uganda & Rwanda have made solid commitments to co-invest
· As of now, the 30.0% equity interest is "almost done". The 30.0%, if anything, is "too small" as a portion for equity
· The plan is to have the East Africa Refinery listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange post-stabilisation
· He says East African economies producing oil will receive priority offtake as far as sourcing crude is concerned. Capacity will then be augmented from other sources like the UAE
