Global Stocks
A Kenyan Investor’s Guide to Building Wealth Beyond the NSE
By Mwatha Njoroge
The Kenyan stock market is familiar—but familiarity is not the same as safety.
In Global Stocks, Mwatha Njoroge challenges the idea that investing locally is enough. While companies like Safaricom, Equity, and KCB dominate the Nairobi Securities Exchange, the truth is that the NSE is small, concentrated, and highly vulnerable to political, currency, and economic shocks.
This practical guide shows you why global investing is no longer optional for Kenyan investors who want to protect and grow their wealth.
What You’ll Learn Inside This Book
✔ Why relying only on the NSE exposes you to serious concentration risk
✔ How global diversification protects your wealth from currency depreciation and political cycles
✔ The difference between ETFs, index funds, and individual global stocks
✔ How Kenyan investors can access global markets from anywhere in the country
✔ How to overcome “home bias” and invest beyond what feels familiar
✔ Practical strategies for building a resilient, globally diversified portfolio
Using real-world examples from global giants like Apple, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Toyota, and Nestlé, Mwatha explains how everyday Kenyans can benefit from global innovation, dollar-based earnings, and long-term growth.
