Retail investors at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) will receive a bigger protection after the market regulator moved to raise the maximum payout from the investor compensation fund four-fold to Sh200,000.

The move, which is at an advanced stage, awaiting clearance by the National Treasury, is expected to cushion individual investors from financial losses arising from the collapse of stock brokerages, dealers and investment banks.
