For an economy with a GDP of $37.4 billion, the Ugandan bourse is one of the most undervalued, with a marginal representation of local investors as high institutional ownership crowds them out of the market.

Despite the fast growth of the local economy, the market capitalization of the Ugandan bourse is valued at $6.1 billion (UGX21.6 billion), which is 16.3 percent of the country’s GDP in 2020, according to Billionaires Africa.

The market value of all the stakes owned by the 10 richest investors in companies listed on the exchange is $18.5 million. This represents just about 0.30 percent of the market’s $6.1-billion valuation, as institutional investors and parent companies of listed entities control a huge chunk of the market.

Based on figures derived from investment agencies, the latest annual reports and confirmations from capital market registrars, these are the 20 richest people who own stocks listed on the Uganda Stock Exchange.

The value of the shares is based on prices at the end of trading on Aug. 20, and valuations are converted to U.S. dollars at current exchange rates.

1. Sudhir Ruparelia

Net worth on the USE: $5,206,007

Holdings: Bank of Baroda (Uganda), Stanbic Bank Uganda, NIC Holdings, DFCU

Ugandan tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia is one of East Africa’s richest men and the chairman of Ruparelia Group, a conglomerate with interests in hotels, real estate development, floriculture and broadcasting. He is also the richest person on the Uganda Securities Exchange.

2. Emmanuel Katongole

Net worth on the USE: $2.74 million

Holdings: Cipla Quality Chemical industries

Emmanuel Katongole was the founder of Quality Chemical Industries, a pharmaceutical manufacturing company in Uganda. In 2015, Cipla of India acquired a 51-percent stake in the business from Katongole, and renamed the company Cipla Quality Chemical industries. (CQCIL).
