ISP Applauds Nairobi Securities Exchange for Broadening Access to Global Markets

International Strategic Partners (ISP) extends its congratulations to the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) for the recently announced initiative that will allow Kenyan investors to access global stocks through a new cross-listing model. This step represents a major advancement in East Africa’s capital markets and signals growing alignment between African financial infrastructure and global investment opportunities.
According to a recent article in Business Daily Africa, the NSE’s new model enables local investors to purchase and hold shares in multinational companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla — directly through the Nairobi exchange. This initiative not only enhances market liquidity and investor diversity, but also demonstrates the NSE’s proactive vision in keeping pace with international financial trends.
At ISP, we see this as a positive reflection of the broader transformation taking place across East Africa’s financial landscape — a region we are proud to invest in and grow alongside. As we expand our network of partners and ventures across the MENA and East Africa corridors, the maturation of local exchanges like the NSE only reinforces our confidence in the region’s potential.
“As we continue to structure cross-border investment platforms and scalable ventures across the continent, Nairobi remains central to our regional strategy,” said Richard Allan, Managing Partner at International Strategic Partners. “We commend the NSE for taking this bold step toward increased global connectivity. These are the kinds of innovations that drive real economic inclusion — and we’re excited to be part of this movement.”
ISP remains committed to supporting initiatives that empower capital formation and investor access across Africa. We look forward to continued collaboration and participation in the growth of financial markets in Nairobi and beyond.
