Financial advisor Good Joseph has shared how he made Sh400,000 from the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) in five months.
In a video on his YouTube channel, Joseph revealed that investing in shares does not require a lot of capital, adding that he buys as low as 200 shares per month, depending on how the month is.
He narrated how he started investing in Cooperative Bank and Absa Bank shares for as low as Sh4. For a whole month, the shares remained flat before eventually rising to Sh5.
He later decided to try purchasing the NSE shares at an average of Sh5, investing about Sh97,000.
“If you go to share buying at NSE, you’ll actually see one of the companies listed under the NSE as NSE Shares. This means that the NSE platform can self-list itself to investors to purchase shares,” he said.
“I felt like banking on the platform (NSE shares) would be a great move because people are buying shares, then the company will grow, meaning the shares will also go up,” he added.
According to him, the shares he purchased at Sh5 are currently worth Sh20.65. He currently holds about 19,400 shares, equivalent to Sh400,610.
NSE crosses Sh3 trillion milestone for the first time in history
The NSE recently crossed the Sh3 trillion milestone in market capitalization for the first time in history.
Market data from the NSE shows that the local bourse made this achievement on Thursday November 6, 2025 when it gained by Sh52.52 billion from Sh2.991 trillion to end the day’s session at Sh3.044 trillion.
This milestone was achieved in a day in which 35,407,884 shares were traded. At the same time, the NSE 20-Share Index gained by 38.28 to hit 3,221.23 points.
These gains have come riding on the back of a bullish market that has recorded gains by all major stocks. For instance, on the day the market surpassed the Sh3 trillion market, leading telecommunications firm Safaricom announced a Sh42.8 billion net profit for the first six months of its current 2026 financial year.
