Market Access

Unmitigated access to the African capital markets

The African capital markets are fragmented, complex and diverse. Investors must contend with numerous market inefficiencies including: foreign participation & ownership constraints, non-uniform trading hours, differing settlement cycles and generally illiquid trading conditions. At Securities Africa, we actively maintain strong "on-the-ground" relationships with local investors, banks, brokers, custodians and regulators throughout the region. This often results in matching of natural counterparties and enables us to more readily identify hidden pools of liquidity in times of market stress.
