How Bond Secondary Market Trading Works

1. Investor Places an Order
An investor contacts their broker and says:
I want to buy KES 100,000 of a specific bond.
Or I want to sell KES 500,000 of a bond I already own.
The broker then searches for the best available counterparty.

2. Brokers Source Liquidity
The broker may:
Check with other brokers.
Check with banks.
Check with institutional investors such as pension funds and insurance companies.
Check available offers on the bond trading system.

The broker looks for someone willing to buy or sell at an agreed price.

3. Price Negotiation
Unlike shares, bond prices are usually negotiated.
Example:
Seller wants 95.00
Buyer wants 94.50
Trade may settle at 94.75

The agreed price determines the bond's yield.

4. Trade Execution
Once both parties agree:
Broker enters the transaction.
Trade is reported to the market.
Settlement instructions are sent.
5. Settlement

Government bonds settle through: Central Bank of Kenya
The seller's bond units move to the buyer, and the buyer's cash moves to the seller.

How Brokers Make Money
1. Commission
Broker earns a percentage of trade value.

2. Spread Income (Some Dealers)
Some brokers and banks act as market makers.
Example:
Buy from seller at 94.50
Sell to buyer at 95.00
Profit: 0.50 price points
This is called the spread.

Why Bond Prices Differ Between Brokers
Many retail investors assume there is one bond price.
In reality:
Different brokers have different sellers.
Different brokers have different buyers.
Liquidity varies throughout the day.
Large trades often get better pricing.
That is why one broker may quote a yield of 13.5% while another quotes 13.8% on the same bond.

NEXT WEEK: LIVE TRADING & ORDER ENTRY (BEGINNER FRIENDLY)

We have already covered:• Account opening
• Funding your brokerage account

Now we move to the most important step:

How to actually buy shares and ETFs in the simplest way possible.

1. UNDERSTANDING ORDER ENTRY (SIMPLE EXECUTION)

Next week we focus on:
• How to place a buy order
• How to place a sell order
• Market Orders vs Limit Orders (basic understanding)
• How to confirm your order has been executed

The goal is to ensure you can confidently buy and sell shares and ETFs on your own.

2. WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY BUYING?

There are two main investment instruments:

A) ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds)

An ETF is a basket of many companies combined into one investment. ETFs are commonly used for long-term wealth creation.
Example:
• S&P 500 ETF

Why ETFs Matter
• Diversification across many companies
• Lower risk compared to a single stock
• Steady long-term growth potential
• Useful for capital preservation, although losses are still possible
• Less time spent monitoring individual companies

B) Individual Stocks

When you buy a stock, you are buying ownership in a single company.Individual stocks generally carry higher risk but may also offer higher potential returns.
Examples:
• Apple
• Tesla

Why Investors Buy Stocks
• Potential for faster gains
• Volatility creates opportunities
• Ability to target specific companies and sectors
• Suitable for more active investors

3. SIMPLE INVESTMENT LOGIC FOR BEGINNERS

You do not need complicated valuation models to begin investing.
A simple approach is:
• ETFs = Long-term wealth building and stability. You can use ETFS to get shares to buy for gains.
• Stocks = Growth opportunities and active investing

The key point is that different investments serve different purposes. You do not need to hold every investment forever, especially if it is not generating recurring income or meeting your investment objectives.

4. CURRENCY AND GLOBAL MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

When investing internationally, you are not only investing in companies.
You are also:
• Benefiting from exposure to the US Dollar
• Accessing global markets from Kenya
• Diversifying beyond local economic risks
• Participating in growth from different countries and industries

5. IPO INVESTING – IMPORTANT LESSONS

SpaceX IPO (if and when it eventually lists)

Many investors become excited about IPOs, but it is important to understand the risks.

The Reality of IPOs
• IPO hype is often driven by emotion.
• This creates opportunities for scammers targeting investors who want early access.
• Such offers are often outside the jurisdiction of Kenyan regulators.
• Do not fall victim to promises of guaranteed pre-IPO access.
• IBKR generally does not provide access to every IPO globally, and no local provider can guarantee access to a future SpaceX IPO.
• Waiting for public listing is usually the safest approach.
• Prices can be highly volatile after listing.
• If the price becomes excessively expensive, patience may provide better entry opportunities later.
• Do not invest simply because you want to say you own a famous company.
• Invest because the opportunity makes financial sense.
• Retail investors often buy at inflated prices during periods of peak excitement.
• Early excitement does not guarantee future returns.

Do not let anyone convince you they have special connections that allow guaranteed access to a pre-IPO investment. Once listed, the shares will trade in public markets and can be bought through normal brokerage accounts just like other listed stocks.

SMARTER APPROACH
• Allow the stock to begin trading and establish a market price.
• Let the initial excitement settle.
• Study the company after listing.
• Avoid FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).
• Consider ETFs that may eventually include the company as part of their holdings.
