Here are some of the main points discussed at the HedgeNews Africa Symposium: 1. AMCs enable the investor to connect with the asset owner by creating a bridge between offshore funding and local projects. 2. AMCs offer remarkable flexibility for tailoring investment strategies. 3. Legislation is not conducive to anybody who is South Africa-based and incorporated hence Orpheus Capital has leveraged European exchange legislation and subsequently enables one to issue a ring-fenced note for investors that references the actual physical underlying. 4. AMCs work well for a smaller South African manager looking to trade an offshore product.

🏦💼 In the world of Nigerian banking, the FUGAZ giants rule - FBN Holdings, UBA, GTCO, Access Holdings, and Zenith Bank. 📈 But here's the twist: GTBank shines brighter with creativity by doing more with less. ⏳💪 GT's turnover rivals banks with sprawling branches, but they have just 600 compared to others. 🌐🌍 With 12,000 pros versus 28,000 at Access, they prove you can do more with less. 🚀 To grow is to master the art of efficiency, cutting through time and forging strategic partnerships. 🤝 Banks show us the way - FirstBank took a century to reach 10 million users, GTBank did it in 10 years, and Opay? Just one year! 🙌🚀 #Hexaviabusinesstip #BWE #Domorewithless #EfficiencyMasters #BankingInnovators #DoMoreWithLess

Recently, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) granted licenses to Habib Metropolitan Bank Limited (HMB) and MCB Bank Limited (MCB) for their fully-owned Exchange Companies (ECs). HMB and MCB disclosed this information in stock filings, indicating the issuance of licenses for the commencement of operations by SBP. This action by SBP follows its decision last year to wind up operations of non-compliant exchange companies, leading to immediate terminations. Subsequently, similar exchanges were instructed to cease operations gradually. SBP's move also allowed commercial banks to establish separate exchange companies as subsidiaries. #SBP #HabibMetropolitanBank #MCBBank #ExchangeCompanies #Regulation #Banking #PakistanFinance #Compliance #BusinessExpansion #CxONews #CxOGlobalForum
