  • Cytonn Q3'2018 Markets Review
    Cytonn Q3’2018 Markets Review Private Equity Financial Services Sector: Deals in the Financial Services sector during the quarter include; 1. Kuramo Capital, a New York based investment management firm focused on alternative investments in frontier and emerging markets acquired an additional 17.5% stake in GenAfrica Asset Managers Ltd from the management and staff of GenAfrica Asset Managers for Kshs 554.2 mn, effectively valuing the company at Kshs 3.2 bn. The additional investment brings Kuramo’s total shareholding in GenAfrica to 90.8%, after Kuramo completed the purchase of a 73.4% stake from Centum Investments in August this year, with the remaining 9.2% remaining in the hands of management and staff of GenAfrica. Kuramo earlier in the year also completed a transaction to acquire a minority stake in Kenyan investment bank, Sterling Capital for an undisclosed amount. For more information, see our Cytonn Weekly #36/2018, 2. Old Mutual, a UK based international financial services group providing investment and savings, insurance, asset management and retirement solutions, increased its stake in UAP - Old Mutual Holdings from 60.7% to 66.7%, in a deal to purchase a 6.0% stake in UAP-Old Mutual for GBP 24.0 mn (Kshs 3.1 bn). The transaction involved the acquisition of 12.7 mn shares of UAP-Old Mutual Holdings’ Chairman Joe Wanjui (9.8 mn shares) and Director James Muguiyi (2.9 mn shares) at a price of Kshs 245.6 per share. The acquisition was carried out at a P/B multiple of 2.7x. The transaction multiple of 2.7x is a 30.3% premium on the average insurance sector transaction P/B multiple of 2.1x over the last seven-years, and almost double the last insurance transaction - the 1.3x multiple that Swiss Re paid for the Britam stake.
