Nabo capital acquisition

Kenya-based Rock Investment Bank has acquired 60% stake in fund manager Nabo Capital from Centum Investment Company ending the listed firm’s majority ownership after more than a decade. The transaction hands Rock immediate control of Kenya’s established investment managers as competition for institutional and retail savings intensifies among financial services firms.

The acquisition is expected to support Nabo Capital’s next phase of growth by combining its investment management capabilities with Rock’s capital markets operations.

CMA Licenses Six New Investment Banking, Stockbroking, and Advisory Firms;
The Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has approved several new and upgraded licenses for firms seeking to operate in Kenya’s capital markets.

The approvals cover a mix of investment banks, stockbrokers, investment advisers and a platform provider, reflecting activity across multiple segments of the market value chain.
