Corporate Bonds

Corporate bonds in Kenya are debt securities issued by private companies to raise capital. Investors lend money to these companies in exchange for regular interest payments and repayment of the bond’s face value at maturity. They’re traded on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) and are regulated by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA). Corporate bonds offer investors an alternative to government securities, potentially yielding higher returns but with higher risks associated with the issuing company’s creditworthiness. Before investing, investors consider factors like the company’s financial health, bond terms, and market conditions.
