Its shares are listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), where they trade under the symbol: ICDC.[5] The company shares are also cross-listed on the Uganda Securities Exchange (USE), where they trade under the symbol: CENT.[6] Centum is an investment channel providing investors access to a portfolio of inaccessible, quality, diversified investments.

Centum's mission is to create real, tangible wealth by providing the channel through which investors access and build extraordinary enterprises in Africa. {{As of|2018|March|df=|lc=|since=}}, total assets were valued at KES:66.1 billion.[7]

History

ICDC was founded in 1954 as a government parastatal, whose primary objective was to provide a vehicle for Kenyans to invest in the economy of newly independent Kenya by investing in Kenyan companies. In 1967, ICDC formed the subsidiary ICDC Investment Company Limited, whose shares were listed on the NSE.

In 1998, with the Government of Kenya having sold some of its majority shareholding, ICDC Investment Company adopted a new management structure, handing over day-to-day management to an independent professional managerial team, supervised by an independent board of directors elected by the shareholders.

In 2008, the shareholders changed the name of the company to Centum Investment Company Limited.[8] The shares of Centum Investment Company Limited have been publicly traded on the NSE since 1967 and on the USE since 10 February 2011.[9] Over time, Centum's strategy has evolved in line with the company's growth with Centum currently in its 2014 - 2019 strategic period dubbed "Centum 3.0".[10] Under Centum 3.0, the company maintains focus through 4 distinct business lines namely Real Estate, Private Equity, Development and Marketable Securities.[11]
