I am a conservative investor with a low risk appetite. I would balance the money in terms of 85% safe and 15% risky. This translates to an 85% passive investment strategy and 15% active investment strategy. For the safe side, I would invest long-term by buying shares of companies that I think will appreciate in value and stand the test of time, below is the strategy at current market prices:
Safaricom @ KES 28 buy 1000 shares = 28,000/=
BAT @ KES 325 buy 100 shares = 32,500/=
EABL @ KES 155 buy 100 shares = 15,500/=
Equity @ KES 30 buy 300 shares = 9,000/=
Total Passive Strategy = KES 85,000/=
For the risky side, I would look for short term gains by looking for diamonds in the rough in NSE, I would at the biggest losers in NSE and look for bargain deals on shares that I anticipate to gain value based on their historical data. At the current market prices, this is how I would employ this strategy.
Britam @ KES 7.00 buy 700 shares = 4900/=
CIC Insurance @ KES 1.98 buy 5,000 shares =9,900/=
Total Active Strategy = 14,800
