Many try to educate themselves by buying and reading investment-related books or attend financial literacy trainings. While some investment books are quite good, the majority are written in a language that is much too technical and complicated for the average person to understand. What makes matters worse is the fact that there is an abundance of get-rich-quick books and schemes out there that provide readers with false hopes and little background upon which they can build their investment knowledge.

The main purpose of this website is to provide you with an easy means by which you can educate yourself on how investing happens in our Stock Exchange, Fixed deposit and Bonds market. You will get to learn how to invest in a practical and simulated way by participating in the:
•    Smart Investor Challenge- this is our annual online competition meant for University Students, College Students and Investment groups. It is a simulation of the activities that happen around trading in securities listed on the Nairobi Stock Exchange, Investing in Fixed deposits as well as Investing in Government bonds. Participants get to compete in teams. Each team gets an online account with virtual capital of Kshs 1million to trade with using real time NSE prices for a period of 5 months, they are judged by stock brokers and investment advisors and they get to win exciting prices which range from cash to buy shares!

We wanted the YoungInvestor 101 course to appeal to Kenyan Young investors. This was not too difficult to accomplish, since economies, markets, and investment products in Kenya are easy to understand.

To supplement your learning, our Research Library link provides you with definitions of basic terms that explain in a simplified manner the meaning of the most commonly used financial terms. We have spent a significant amount of time carefully researching on the information and tools needed to make you a knowledgeable and skillful investor.

Today’s investor is one that spends a lot of time researching in the trends in the Capital markets. You cannot afford to be ignorant of the social, economic & political trends in the world as this in turn will determine how your investment portfolio will behave.
Research information can be found on the internet, in newspapers, magazines television, radio; journals and periodicals etc. The Internet is a tremendous learning tool. It is also the place where you will discover which particular investment products and services are available to you.

Today’s investment market is a global one. That means that, even though you may be located in Kenya, you have access to investment opportunities located in many other countries. There has never been a better time in history to be an investor.
