Don’t Miss Out: Invest in Upcoming IPOs with Equity
Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) offer investors a chance to participate in the growth of companies as they list on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE).
By investing early, you can own a stake in businesses shaping Kenya’s economy and benefit from long-term value creation.
However, to participate in any IPO, you must have a Central Depository & Settlement (CDS) account. This account allows you to buy, hold, and trade shares on the NSE. Equity Bank makes this process simple and accessible, enabling you to invest with confidence as opportunities arise.
Why You Need a CDS Account
A CDS account is your gateway to Kenya’s capital markets. Without it, you cannot invest in IPOs or trade listed shares.
Equally important, opening your account early helps you avoid last-minute delays. It also ensures you are fully prepared when new IPOs are announced.
Why Open a CDS Account with Equity
The Nairobi Securities Exchange has recorded strong growth. In 2025, the Nairobi All Share Index (NASI) rose by 51%, closing the year at 186.58 points. As a result, investor interest in the market continues to grow.
By opening a CDS account with Equity, you gain access to upcoming IPOs. At the same time, you position yourself to benefit from Kenya’s expanding capital markets.
Equity is committed to making IPO participation accessible to every Kenyan. Through its nationwide branch network and dedicated Relationship Managers, the bank offers guidance at every step of the journey.
