This implied that the total population of this study is 90 firms as given by the Kenya Association of Investment Groups (KAIG). For representativeness purposes, the current study took a sample size of 50% of the population. This was 45 firms.  The study used secondary data from the financial statements of the investments firms. The selected period was 5 years.

The researcher used Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to generate the descriptive statistics and also to generate inferential results. Regression analysis was used to demonstrate the relationship between the portfolio size and the performance of investment firms.Results: The finding reveal that investments firms in Kenya had put the biggest allocation of funds in stocks, followed by real estate portfolio and the least holding was in bond and money market funds.  The findings also reveal that that the stocks portfolio generated the highest returns followed by bond and money market returns while real estate portfolio generated the least returns. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: It was recommended that investment managers should consider increasing the number of stocks from the current average of 13 stocks to between 16 to 20 stocks.  Such a portfolio size would be optimal since approximately 91% of risk would have been diversified. This will solve the question in mind of investment managers which has been as to how many individual stocks or investments are needed to compose an optimal portfolio. An optimal portfolio is preferred over a maximized portfolio due to the risk return tradeoff.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the determinants of financial performance of NSE listed commercial banks in Kenya. Methodology: A descriptive study design attributed to a census approach aiming at the eleven listed commercial banks in Kenya was applied. The research relied on secondary data obtained from the audited financial statements of the said banks to create the correlation between the research variables. The information on the financial effecting of the listed banks was collected using a data collection matrix. The data was analyzed by the assistance of SPSS and the outcome presented in tables using statistical aspects, which include means and standard deviations. Results: The study established that government securities (r = 0.680) had a positive and strong correlation with financial performance. Similarly, Real estate (r = 0.738), Loans (r = 0.922) and, stocks (r=.469) had a positive and weak correlation with financial performance. The findings of study show loans (p=0.000) was most significant, followed by funds allocated to Government securities at p=0.149 then by funds allocated to stocks (p=.850) and least significant was real estate financing at p=0.972 at 95% confidence level.  The findings show that there was a strong positive correlation (r=0.926) between Funds allocation and financial performance of commercial banks, according to the findings, 85.7% of financial performance of commercial banks could be attributed to the funds allocation to various assets. Adding another variable say, x5 will lower the strength of the model from 85.7 % to 84.6 %.  Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends that listed commercial banks should diversify their real estate finance schemes to make it reachable to more customers since real estate had a significant effect of their financial performance. A study should be conducted on other variables such as inflation, exchange rates and interest rates fluctuations. A study should also be conducted to investigate the low yield of investment in loans in contrast to investment in government securities

The Impact

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the implementation of PSAK 72 on financial performance during the Covid-19 pandemic (empirical study of real estate companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange). This research is a quantitative research, where the data used are secondary data in the form of financial statements of real estate companies. The sample of this study is a real estate company that provides periodic financial reports on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019 and the second quarter of 2020 with a total of 46 sample companies. The results of the study indicate that PSAK 72 has a significant negative effect on the liquidity ratio, profitability ratio, activity ratio, and market ratio, while the implementation of PSAK 72 has no significant effect on the solvency ratio. This show, although the implementation of PSAK 72 has had a significant negative effect, companies have started to prepare for the implementation of PSAK 72 by conducting evaluations, adaptations and training for employees before actually implementing PSAK 72. The meaning of not fully implementing PSAK 72 has a negative impact on real estate company earnings, because the implementation of these standards was also followed by the Covid-19 pandemic which also resulted in a decrease in income for companies.
