About This Company
The licence this company carries into closing is South Africa's Category II discretionary FSP licence, which covers portfolio management and investment advice. It rests on two Acts, the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act 37 of 2002 and the Financial Markets Act 19 of 2012, and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) is the regulator. Market sources report that FSR Act s158 prior approval does not apply to an ordinary FSP; the FSCA instead gets a notice of significant ownership. The significant-owner line is reported at the power to appoint 15% of the governing body, or a qualifying stake. Market sources add a separate people step: fit-and-proper approval for a new key individual (form FSP4D, FAIS s8(4)(b)) before acting. Reach is domestic. The authorisation does not passport, and OTC derivative providers are authorised under the Financial Markets Act separately, as ODPs.
