A CDS account is like a digital vault for your investment assets. It securely holds your shares and other securities, making it easy to track, trade, and manage your investments. At Pergamon, having a CDS account ensures that you’re ready to explore diverse investment opportunities seamlessly.

Pergamon makes it simple to open a CDS account that fits your needs. For joint, junior, or corporate accounts, you’ll fill in an application form and provide the required documents. Our team will guide you through the process and confirm once your account is active, so you can begin trading without delay.

You can deposit funds into your CDS account through bank transfer or mobile money. Account details are provided once your account is active.

To buy shares, you place a buy order through Pergamon’s trading platform or with the help of your advisor. To sell shares, you place a sell order, and once executed, the proceeds are credited to your bank or mobile money account. Our team provides guidance to ensure your trades are carried out smoothly.

If you want to withdraw cash, you first need to sell your holdings. Once the shares or bonds are sold, the proceeds are transferred to your registered bank account or mobile money account.

All investments involve some level of risk. Equities may fluctuate in value depending on market conditions, while fixed-income securities and Treasury Bills generally provide more stability. Pergamon helps you understand and manage these risks by providing research insights, portfolio diversification strategies, and personalized advice to match your financial goals and risk tolerance. For bonds specifically, investors should also consider interest rate risk and liquidity risk.

Shares represent ownership in a company. When you buy shares, you become a
shareholder and are entitled to benefits such as dividends (if declared) and potential capital gains if the share price rises.

Government securities (such as Treasury Bills and Bonds) are debt instruments issued by the government to raise funds. They provide predictable returns and are generally considered low risk compared to equities.

Dividends are declared by a company’s board of directors and are paid to shareholders who are on record by the book closure date. The dividend announcement usually specifies the payment date.

Dividends from shares and interest from bonds are credited directly to your registered bank account or mobile money account. You will receive a notification once payments are processed.

Trading on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) is open Monday to Friday, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM (excluding public holidays).
