After reviewing literature that broadly establishes four factors (low levels of financial literacy, capital constraints, risk averseness, and the lengthy process of setting up a Central Depository System (CDS) account) as exhaustive culprits for low financial market participation in the country, this thesis will quantitatively analyze responses to online survey instruments administered to carefully curated pools of Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) participants and non-participants to determine the relative weighting of these factors within the target demographic for the proposed intervention. cache/dn39x062c1p.txt txt/dn39x062c1p.txt
