How The Nairobi Securities Exchange Works.

Opinions

Today on the blog review, we are taking you behind the scenes of the Nairobi Securities Exchange to show you exactly how a trade works, from the moment you decide to invest, to the day your first dividend pay-out hits your bank account.

We break down:

* How to open your CDS account for free using established brokers.

* The exact transaction levies and commissions you will pay when you trade.

* How the Central Depository and Settlement Corporation (CDSC) acts as the secure middleman between buyers and sellers.

* The specific timeline of tracking annual financial announcements so you never miss a dividend pay-out.
