In partnership with Standard Bank of Angola, Áurea – Sociedade Distribuidora de Valores Mobiliários and Lwei Mansa Musa Brokers – Sociedade Correctora de Valores Mobiliários, it was possible to raise a global amount of 8,186,950,000.00 kwanzas, corresponding to 163,739 participation units.
"This operation constitutes a milestone for Standard Gestão de Activos, not only because it is the first investment fund under management, but also because its participation units were subscribed by highly relevant institutional investors, such as insurance companies, investment funds, pension funds and companies in key sectors of our economy, without forgetting private clients who, through our digital channels, have entrusted us with the responsibility of making their savings profitable, thus accessing the best investment opportunities with balanced risk", said António Catana, CEO of Standard Gestão de Activos.
Standard Gestão de Activos' next two investment funds will soon be announced, which will serve as complementary investment vehicles, with the potential to increase profitability and diversify investors' portfolios, through professional and multidisciplinary management.
"We will continue to remain optimistic for the next challenges, with the prospect of becoming effective as a GPS for investments in Africa, democratizing access for all Angolans to the best investment opportunities", highlighted António Catana.
Investing in the capital market through investment funds offers the following main benefits: access to professional management in terms of term, rates and profitability, and reinvestment in a timely and regular manner; tax simplification, since the capital repaid is liquid, that is, the income for the investor is exempt from IAC, and the fund is also exempt from IAC, but subject to Industrial Tax of 10 percent; lower associated charges and greater negotiating power; portfolio diversification through a single investment (acquisition of UPs) and risk mitigation (dilution among all participants); transparency, by adapting the fund to the investor's profile (according to investment policy).
