According to information provided by KCB in regulatory ownership filings, NSSF increased its position in the bank from 8.48 percent in June to 291.35 million shares at the end of September, equivalent to 9.07 percent overall.

The bank, alongside Safaricom, provides the pension fund with its biggest source of dividend income, owing to the large volume of shares held in the two companies.

According to the fund’s most recent audited financial statements, which cover the year ending in June 2021, it received dividends from KCB and Safaricom totaling Ksh265.7 million and Ksh337.7 million, respectively.

NSSF earned Ksh773.6 million in KCB dividends and Ksh962 million from Safaricom a year earlier, with the 2021 drop caused by several companies opting to limit or forego dividend payouts to conserve capital amid the Covid-19 outbreak.
