A key component of Unashig's long-term investment strategy is to peg the value of its CA and CB shares on the 'underlying' market value of listed stocks in which it is invested at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). The stream of investments at the NSE goes back to December 27th, 2018. It has been invigorated more recently by an ongoing capital raising drive which began on May 1st, 2020 and ends on November 30th, 2020.

Based on the data provided through the last two links given above, the combined market value of Unashig's holdings at end-of-day on Friday, October 30th, 2020 was KES 3,946,286/- (or US$ 36,237.70, at the exchange rate of US$1 = KES 108.90). A month earlier, on September 30th, it was 3,757,253/-, or US$ 34,638.24 (based at the time on an exchange rate of of US$1 = KES 108.47126). The evidence thus seen indicates a month-on-month increase, based on Kenyan currency, of 5.03% [Figures in this paragraph were updated on November 2, 2020].
Unashig has 218 shareholders, who own a combined total of 1930 issued Class A (CA) and Class B (CB) shares -- out of a total of 7,000 authorized shares. Issued shares translate to an average of 8.85 per holder. Each share has a nominal value of KES 2,000/-, or US$ 18.39 (at the exchange rate of US$1= KES 108.7274). Thus, the nominal value of all issued CA and CB shares currently stands at KES 3,860,650/-, or US$ 35,508.50. At close-of-day on Thursday, October 29th, 2020, the portfolio of NSE-listed securities in which these CA+CB funds are listed -- that is, to which their market value is pegged -- had a valuation of KES 3,951,541/- (or US$ 36,344.46). That's a gross capital gain of 2.35% right now. As months and years go by, we will have a longer time-frame for, and a more detailed view of, Unashig's capital gains. Market value remains slightly higher than nominal value, then. [Note: NSE = Nairobi Securities Exchange]
