NSE Launches Free Webinar to Teach Kenyans Basics of Stock Market Investing
Kenyans eager to build long-term wealth through Kenya’s capital markets now have an excellent, no-cost opportunity to get started.
The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) is organizing a free virtual webinar designed to demystify investing and empower participants to make informed decisions.
Event Details: Stock Market Made Simple Webinar
The session, titled “Stock Market Made Simple,” is scheduled for Wednesday, January 28, 2026, running from 9:00 AM to 11:15 AM EAT and will take place live on Zoom.
In its official announcement shared across platforms, the NSE extended a warm invitation to the general public—especially beginners and those looking to refine their knowledge—to join and gain practical insights on investing confidently in NSE-listed equities (shares) and bonds.
What Topics Will the Free NSE Webinar Cover?
Although a full agenda has not been published yet, the training is expected to follow standard investor education frameworks commonly used by capital market regulators and exchanges.
Anticipated key areas include:
- The core differences between equities (representing ownership in a company with potential dividends and capital growth) and bonds (essentially loans to companies or government entities that provide fixed interest payments).
- A clear, beginner-friendly step-by-step guide to starting your investment journey in the Kenyan stock market.
- How stock prices move based on supply and demand, plus the importance of market liquidity for smooth buying and selling.
- The essential roles of licensed stockbrokers and investment banks (members of the Kenya Association of Stockbrokers and Investment Banks – KASIB) in executing trades securely.
- Why opening a Central Depository and Settlement (CDS) account is a mandatory first step before trading shares on the NSE.
This foundational knowledge helps participants avoid common pitfalls and approach the market with greater confidence.
