About Charles
Charles Nzioka is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) at Serrari Group, where he covers Kenya’s capital markets — the Nairobi Securities Exchange, fixed income, and the market infrastructure sitting behind both.
His work concentrates on the mechanics most investors are never shown plainly: how a CDS account at the CDSC differs from one held through the Central Bank’s DhowCSD, how the NSE’s indices are actually constructed, what turnover and foreign-participation figures do and do not measure, and how trading hours and settlement cycles decide when money genuinely moves.
He also tracks global fixed income, liquidity and currency conditions, translating them into what they mean for portfolios held in Kenya.
