Equity investors at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) enjoyed the highest returns among the major investment asset classes in the first half of the year, earning more than those who put their money on bonds, fixed deposits, and property.
Investor wealth at the Nairobi bourse grew by 25 percent or Sh477.3 billion in the period, riding on a strong second quarter of the year when a number of large firms, including Safaricom, KenGen, KCB Group, and NCBA Group, saw their share prices jump on renewed interest from local and foreign investors.
