Why an investment club?

The idea of forming Kenya Capital Investment Group was inspired by the recognition that as investors that the returns at the NSE were superior than those at the London Stock Exchange and investing in UK property. However the risk involved was also higher because as individuals, we could probably only invest in one stock at a time. Added at to this, the recent upsurge in the number of investors at the NSE has meant that stockbrokers can’t cope and are hence cherry picking customers based on the amounts the customer is investing. An investment club will allow us:
-Pool together our resources in a way that in the long term we should be able to invest in other projects
-Diversify our risks and thereby improve our returns
-Pool together our ideas thus helping us become better investors

Hello Maina

Thanks for sharing your constitution,strategy & purpose.
Am trying to get a group of similar minded kenyans here in Dallas, Tx. How did you go about registering KCIG in Kenya and what were the costs involved? Your insight will be highly appreciated.
Thx. gitauus@yahoo.com.
