Genghis Trading Ideas for the week…
Equities
For investors seeking to diversify their holding in income generating counters, we recommend a BUY on Barclays Bank of Kenya (BBK) at the current dividend yield of 9.3%. BBK has the highest dividend yield in the banking sector with the current dividend yield on the bank being in the range of the yield on risk free short-term treasury bonds. The current price offers an attractive entry point for investors who wish to hold the stock in the long run.

Fixed Income
BUY IFB4/2019/10 at 12.00% - 12.20%. We expect a premium of circa 30bps from current 10-year yields of circa 11.75% to be priced in in the upcoming primary bond auction. The premium is attributed to the recent repeal of the interest rate cap coupled with recent fiscal developments that point to elevated domestic borrowing.
