Purpose: The purpose of the study was to ascertain the relationship between options derivatives and financial performance of selected listed commercial banks in Kenya. Methodology: Descriptive research design was used when collecting data using closed ended questionnaires from the selected 11 listed commercial banks in Kenya. The target population included 156 respondents who were 25 risk managers, 53 operations managers, 33 credit managers and 45 marketing managers to participate in the study. The study selected all of the 156 respondents through census sampling technique. Pre-test questionnaires was sent to six respondents who were junior officers in risk, credit, operations and marketing departments of non-listed commercial banks in Meru Kenya. The collected data was then coded and analyzed quantitatively using the descriptive statistics such as mean, percentage and standard deviation while inferential statisticsperson correlation analysis were used. Linear regression models were also used. Further on, the tables, graphs were used when indicating the analysis results. Results: Options had a statistically significant relationship with financial performance. Most respondents agreed that there were clear procedures used to solve options price discrepancies. It had a mean of 4.79 and standard deviation of 0.62. However, most respondents disagreed that options derivatives market activities were improving in the banks. It had a mean of 3.85 and standard deviation of 1.05. The results further indicated that options had an R value of .793a and Durbin Watson value of 1.292 showing there was a strong correlation between the two variables, while the R-square was 0.629. This implied that options as a paradigm predicted 62.9% of financial performance variable in this study.Options also had a significant p-value of 0.018. Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: The results indicated that commercial banks were really incurring more costs as compared to profits generated due to errors made by the employees when engaging in various options derivatives markets. In addition, when financial derivatives owners were given the rights and not forced to purchase or vend an underlying asset at a strike price or exercise price, at or earlier than the expiry date of the options, there was an above average purchase. The study recommends that the bank staff should explain full information on the options derivatives so that when a client is making the purchase, they are well knowledgeable. This knowledge should begin from the procedures followed when making a purchase, sale or transfer of option derivatives in the securities exchange market. In addition, any costs associated with the options derivatives should be fully communicated to clients priorly to avoid premature termination of options derivatives contracts. Further on, there should be more training on banks staffs by the bank management so that they are equipped with knowledge on the specifics of options derivatives trading. By doing so, the chances of errors would be minimized.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the moderating effect of sensitivity to market risk on internal factors affecting financial performance of savings and credit societies in Kenya. Methodology: The study employed an explanatory research design. The target population was 83 registered deposit taking SACCO’s in Kenya that have been in operation for the last five years. The sample size for the study was all 83 SACCOs that have remained in existence since 2011-2015. Census methodology was used in the study.  Both primary and secondary sources of data were employed.  Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the data using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) and STATA. Descriptive and inferential analysis was conducted to analyze the data. The data was presented using tables and graphs. Results: The moderation results indicated that the interaction effect of sensitivity to market risk on the relationship between the independent variables (except management efficiency) and dependent variable was significant. Since the calculated p value of the interaction was 0.000<0.05, and thus sensitivity to market risk has a statistical significant moderating effect on internal determinants of financial performance of savings and credit societies in Kenya. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that SACCOs should monitor the variations in market risks, especially interest rates and inflation rates. These macroeconomic factors tend fluctuate often and, hence it’s important for the organizations to observe them.

Methodology: The study adopted two research designs; descriptive and causal. The accessible population for the study was 558 registered manufacturing firms. Stratified sampling technique was used to select the sample size and a sample of 233 manufacturing firms was arrived at using Yamane’s formula. Questionnaires were the main instruments used to collect primary data. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized in data analysis with the aid of SPSS. Data presentation methods used included frequency tables and percentages. Data collected were tested using, univariate test to provide an insight using both parametric (F-test) and non-parametric test (Pearson correlation coefficient). Multivariate analysis was also carried using the multiple regression analysis which indicated the level of the relationship that existed between the independent variables and the dependent variable. Results: Findings indicate that the credit collection practices have a significant positive effect on the financial performance of the manufacturing firms (p<0.05). This can be attributed to the fact that owners of manufacturing firms have the ability to control and manage credit through their experienced and skilled credit managers. In conclusion, credit collection practices positively and significantly affected the financial performance of the firms. Unique contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends that registered manufacturing firms operating in Kenya should adopt credit collection practices since it positively and significantly affects the financial performance.

The influence of asset-based securities on financial performance was at a mean 3.8227 and standard deviation of 1.38128. The adjusted R square value of 0.824 implied that asset backed securities predicted 82.4% of the variability in the financial performance. Therefore, asset backed securities could be used to predict financial performance.Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: This study contributed the outcome of the relationship between asset-backed securities and financial performance of listed commercial banks in Kenya. Banks will be able to use securitization to free up with-held bank’s capital in loans hence re-investing the capital in other ventures leading to improved financial performance. Commercial banks are recommended to issue more asset backed securities and there should be policies developed to guide commercial banks on asset backed securities This is because asset backed securities can partake in improving the capital structure of business banks in Kenya, thus, improving benefit and avoiding the base capital guideline edge.
