The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) and the African Securities Exchanges Association (ASEA) proudly announce

BACKGROUND OF THE BUILDING AFRICAN FINANCIAL MARKETS (BAFM) CAPACITY BUILDING SEMINAR

The aim of BAFM is to promote growth in African financial markets by giving representatives from stock exchanges,

regulatory bodies, stockbroking firms and other interested parties the opportunity to learn about topical subjects in the

area of capital markets.

The seminar will take place at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) from Thursday, 17th September to Friday 18th

September 2015, and will include a market opening ceremony, followed by series of focused learning sessions, panel

discussions and workshops on key topics.

There will be a cocktail event to allow for networking on Wednesday, 16th September 2015.

While there is formal capital market activity in a range of countries across the continent, the potential for development of

financial markets is undeniable: of the 24 countries belonging to the African Securities Exchanges Association (ASEA), only

four have qualified for membership of the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE). Membership of the WFE is often a pre-

cursor to asset managers looking at a market.

This event has the potential to enhance African exchanges’ influence on the world stage by granting market players the

opportunity to gain knowledge about the financial topics most relevant to their development. Invited representatives

include delegates from ASEA, financial regulatory bodies, stockbroking firms and other interested stakeholders.

AFRICA’S DEEPER BOND

Ghana’s foray into the sovereign bond

market in 2007 was an intrepid step for

Africa’s emerging economies.

The $750-million issuance made Ghana

the first Sub-Saharan country outside of

South Africa to receive sovereign credit.

This was the culmination of deliberate

government reforms to court the

interest of international investors.

Ghana, already one of Africa’s most

stable democracies, quickly transformed

its economic prospects by slashing

external debt and narrowing its fiscal

deficit to less than 3 percent. It utilized

political stability and sound

macroeconomic behavior to join global

capital markets and reject cheap foreign

aid.

What Ghana also achieved through its

reforms was create an effective nation

brand with a strong and positive image.

Fiscal restraint and effective monetary

policies help countries earn a strong

credit rating, and that is good for their

global reputation. Getting a strong rat-

ing can be a quick ticket to improving a

nation brand. High credit rating, good reputation

African countries that have made the

greatest strides in polishing their global

image have been the ones with the best

reputations among investors. As

expected, countries that have a good

investment profile tend to have more

developed bond markets.

Studies have established a strong

correlation between low public sector

corruption and a high credit rating.

Botswana, for example, has Africa’s

highest Corruption Perceptions Index

and its highest credit rating.

Consequently, there is also a negative

association between corruption and

bond market development.

A strong rating does not just serve the

country, it is also good for the

reputation of its companies.

A company cannot obtain a higher credit

rating than its host country. So in markets

that have poor credit ratings or none at

all, companies with limited options

within their own borders will struggle

attracting investment beyond them.

Access to Pr ivate Bond Markets

Fewer than half of countries in Sub-

Saharan Africa have been assigned a credit

rating by any of the six rating agencies.

Only two – South Africa and Botswana –

are considered investment grade. But in

recent years African bond markets have

become more prominent, despite being

under-developed.

The $12 billion of bonds sold by African

governments last year broke the record of

$10.9 billion set in 2013. These long- term

needs are critical to fund an enormous

roster of infrastructure projects.

The growth of corporate bonds relative to

government securities suggests that

corporate bonds could one day become

an important source of finance, especially

for Sub-Saharan African economies.

Ghana Under Caution

Eight years since its first bond, Ghana finds

itself in financial hot water. Economic

growth has stagnated, inflation has surged

and its budgetary deficit is back to almost

10 percent. Its once venerable B+ credit

rating has sunk to a lowly B-.

With interest rates for a new bond issuance

rising, Ghana spurned the capital markets

in favor of a $940 million loan from the

IMF in February.

The rescue package, though, will not save

the country from its fiscal troubles. The

IMF attached ambitious fiscal consolidation

targets that are unlikely to be met,

according to Fitch Ratings, and that will

put even more downward pressure on

Ghana’s sovereign rating.

ARTICLE

As the US continues keeping the

federal funds rate at close to zero,

Ghana could take advantage.

But the collapse of the Cedi and a

stronger dollar makes borrowing

costs even more prohibitive.

What is instructive about Ghana’s

case is how it quickly abandoned

the sensible economic practices that

led to the initial bond issuance in

the first place.

With a weak oil price as Ghana

plans another Eurobond issuance

this year, it remains to be seen

whether monetary tightening will

be enough for the country to fully

repay its debts.

Trade, Not Aid

The reliance on bond markets

reduces dependence on cheap aid

and will help countries reduce

poverty at their own pace.

Turning to bond markets will enable

countries to develop domestic bond

markets of their own and grow their

economies.

Minimum GDP growth of 7 percent

is required to double per capita in-

come in one generation and make

meaningful reductions in poverty.

Maintaining this strong performance

will require about $20 billion in

infrastructure investment per year,

according to the African

Development Bank‘s Financial

Markets Initiative. This investment

can only be sustainably financed

through long term 10-year bonds.

SWIFT IN AFRICA

By Ian Bessarabia, Head of Sub Sahara

Africa, SWIFT

to become less vulnerable to falls in

commodity prices. Recent figures show

that six of the top 10 countries

implementing changes make it easier to

do business are from Africa (including

Benin, Cote d’Ivoire and the Democratic

Republic of Congo).

SWIFT data reflects these trends and

shows that our business in Africa has

outperformed the total growth of the

SWIFT business globally. In the year to

date, African payment traffic volumes

grew by 13.2% versus 8.8% growth for

SWIFT worldwide, highlighting the

sustainable growth in the region. Africa in

fact was the fastest growing region for

payments traffic, surpassing the Americas

at 12.1% and Asia-Pacific at 12.6%

growth.

SWIFT is growing alongside as Africa

develops. SWIFT’s sub-Saharan Africa

business, with its head office in

Johannesburg, was established more than

30 years ago. In that time, Africa’s

economies have changed beyond

recognition and there is a growing need

for SWIFT to expand to meet new client

expectations and business opportunities.

We are therefore opening two new

offices in 2015 – the first in Nairobi,

Kenya and the second in Accra, Ghana –

as a crucial part of our pan-Africa growth

plans.

From these offices, SWIFT will manage

an expanded presence across the West

and East Africa regions.

Payments remain a major focus for our

business, with many projects moving

ahead including the SADC regional

payment system, SIRESS, as well as the

West African Monetary Zone and the

East African Payment System. These are

important developments, helping to

make the intra-regional payments space

more competitive, opening the way for

new products and services to be offered

by participating financial institutions and

reducing the need for foreign financial

intermediation. But SWIFT is more than a

payments platform. Securities markets are

an increasingly important area.

4

Outside a handful of countries such

as South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya,

most national securities markets are

at a relatively early stage of

development. There is huge

potential to unlock greater local

and intra-regional investment

through the use of standardised and

harmonised financial market

infrastructure. SWIFT can play a

critical supporting role here.

Building a solid and sustainable

foundation on which securities

markets can operate is critical to the

success of these respective markets

in Africa. Trust, security and

reliability are three fundamental

components to boosting investor

confidence and reducing

operational risk. SWIFT is known

globally as a trusted third party and

we pride ourselves on the high

level of security and reliability we

set ourselves.

With the right financial

infrastructure in place and through

industry collaboration, Africa has a

great opportunity to improve the

liquidity and efficiency of its

capital markets, leading to cheaper

equity funding and greater risk

sharing for the continent’s

expanding corporates.

Robust and efficient securities

markets will continue to support

foreign investment but also en-

courage higher levels of intra-

African investment. This is good for

companies and investors. For

several years now, the African

region has outpaced SWIFT’s global

business in terms of traffic volume

growth and there remains huge

potential to be unlocked. We are

excited to participate in Africa’s

vibrant future, supporting local

institutions as they grow and

expand, and increasing the African

region’s contribution to our own

organisation’s growth.

Founded more than 40 years ago to

support the global financial industry,

SWIFT is a member-owned cooperative

that provides the communications plat-

form, products and services to connect

almost 11,000 financial institutions and

corporations in more than 200 countries

and territories.

SWIFT enables its users to exchange

automated, standardised financial

information securely and reliably, thereby

lowering costs, reducing operational risk

and eliminating operational inefficiencies.

SWIFT also brings the financial

community together to work

collaboratively to shape market practice,

define standards and debate issues of

mutual interest.

In Africa, we are honoured to be a part

of the fabric for the continent’s financial

services. Already, there are 21 high value

payment systems (17 in sub-Sahara

Africa), nine stock exchanges and central

securities depositories, and five regional

payment systems based on SWIFT.

And we see plenty of room for further

growth and development. Many of the

fastest growing economies in the world

are in Africa and economic growth in

the sub-Saharan region is expected to

rise from 3.9% in 2014 to 4.5% in 2015

and 5% in 2016, according to the

African Economic Outlook organisation.

Crucially, growth is coming increasingly

from within Africa, helping the

continent to become more resilient and

MARKETS REVIEW

EAST AFRICA MARKETS REVIEW Q1-2015

By Kevin Tuitoek, Reasearch Analyst, Genghis Capital

Kakuzi and Sasini Ltd largely benefitted from an illiquidity

premium whereby contracted supply with heightened

demand on these stocks has afforded attractive exit

positions for holders. Moreover, Kakuzi was further

boosted after an announcement by billionaire investor,

John Kimani, of his intention to raise his shareholding on

the tea producing company from the current 25% stake to

29% thus fuelling speculative trading on the counter.

Sasini Ltd was buoyed by news of its intention to dispose

of a huge parcel of land with the potential of unlocking

huge gains for shareholders.

Jubilee Holdings rallied up 26.7% to KES 570.00 on

account of its favorable FY14 earnings, whereas investors

took speculative positions on mobile juggernaut -

Safaricom ahead of full year earnings anticipated on

May 7th 2015.

Housing Finance Co. Ltd pared down to KES 33.75

following dilution on the counter on the back of its 1-for-2

cash call drive aimed at raising KES 3.5 Billion to solder the

mortgage financier’s capital buffers. Embroilment of

several British American Investments’ directors in the

murky Bramer Bank- ponzi scheme muddled the share’s

performance for the period under review down 26.1% to

KES 22.00.

Home Afrika succumbed 24.4% to KES 3.10 following the

company’s issuance of a profit warning; indicating that

FY14 results would be more than 25% lower.

MARKET DEVELOPMENTS

Nairobi Securities Exchange’s (NSE) New Foray: Following

the earnings announcement whereby the demutualized

bourse registered a 16.4% pre-tax profit amounting to KES

441.81 Mn this reflected a positive sentiment on the general

upward trend of the NSE stock since its inaugural listing.

The introduction of the derivatives market this is set to

usher in a renewed period of investments in single stock

and investment futures set to commence trading. This shall

be followed by the introduction of currency-based

contracts.

Furthermore, the NSE is seeking to introduce a mobile and

internet based platform by May 2015 in a bid to allow a

wider customer base to access market information and

data. This will boost data knowledge within the Kenyan

sphere, possibly enhancing investment activity.

Lower Entry Levels for Bond Market: In a bid to spur

activity on money markets, CMA in conjunction with CBK is

opting to widen the investor base. This is through high level

discussions, proposing to lower the retail entry level for

investments into the Fixed Income market set to spur

financial inclusion; thus fostering a regime whereby ordinary

Kenyan’s can be offered a wider set of investment options.

Majority of the Kenyan population have not been able to

fully be incorporated into the Fixed Income segment as

prices were pegged to KES 100,000, thereby being out of

their reach and leaving the securities held by financial

institutions and fund managers.

New Rights Issues Expected: Three rights issues are set to be

introduced onto the market between Q2 – Q4 2015. The

companies include; Equity Group Holdings Ltd (NSE:

EQTY) who are eager to enhance their regional expansion

plans with the capital; Mumias Sugar Company (NSE: MSC)

with KES 3 Bn rights approved by shareholders set to pay

outstanding debts and restructure the organization to

enhance profitability; Trans-century Ltd (NSE:TCL)

proposed KES 7.5 Bn rights

issue to offset the USD 80 Mn convertible debt issued in 2011 and

maturing in Q1 – 2016; and Kengen’s 15 Bn rights issue that was

approved and currently awaiting restructuring of debt held by the

Kenyan Government.

Capital Markets Authority Gets a New Chair: Mr. John Ndegwa,

who serves as the NIC Bank chairman, has been designated as the

new chairman of CMA. Brokers have welcomed the move

terming it as a strategically important decision, as the new

chairman is vastly familiar with the financial sector, with room to

introduce a raft of progressive reforms to aid transition into East

Africa’s financial hub.

REITS Set to Debut: Stanlib Investment is planning on launching

the first Real Estate Investment Trust (REITS) since the

introduction of the segment over two years ago, with a planned

KES 9 Bn proposal that shall lump a number of various

properties. A successful launch should set the platform for further

introductions in order as to spur investments within the real

estate scene in Kenya.

Chase Bank Kenya Ltd and Centum Investment Company (NSE:

ICDC) New Bond Offerings: Chase Bank is seeking to raise KES

10 Bn under a multi-currency Medium Term Note program to

be raised in several tranches over the next two- three years. The

first tranche will be denominated in the Kenyan shilling and

shall be listed on the NSE where accrued funds shall be utilized

in the bank’s expansion in line with tier 2 capital requirements,

enhanced lending, augmented IT Infrastructure and product

development. On the other hand, Centum is set to enter the

bond market to seek KES 7.5 Bn to finance its vast project scope

array in various sectors, representing the second time the firm

has sought a bond (though previously through private

placement) having raised KES 4.2 Bn in 2012.

Egypt to Postpone the Capital Gain Tax

With the framework of the government efforts to support the

investment environment in Egypt, the Egyptian government

announced on 18 May 2015 postponing the execution of the

Capital Gain Tax decision. The decision aims to maintain the

competitiveness of the Egyptian Exchange taking into

consideration its repercussions on the Egyptian economy and

on its ability to attract more investments.

This decision comes within The Prime Minister & the

Minister of Investment visit to the Egyptian Exchange for

the Opening of the trading session.

EGX Investors Summit 2015

The Institute of International Finance (IIF) mentioned in its

January 2015 Report that total private sector investment flows

to emerging markets fell last year to $1.1 trillion, $250 billion

less than the 2013 record high of $1.35 trillion. Shifting

expectations about the timing and pace of the Fed policy rate

hikes as well as uncertainty related to the oil market and

political risk are likely to again deliver a bumpy ride during the

year ahead, the IIF added.

Nevertheless, investors are increasingly differentiating between

stronger and weaker emerging markets, and normally long-

term institutional investors such as pension and sovereign

funds, account for most of the portfolio flow, providing

crucial support to this sector.

On a macro level, the Egypt Economic Development

Conference conducted in Sharm El Sheikh last March 2015 was

indeed very successful and reflected a strong vote of

confidence from the international community to support

Egypt’s economy going forward.

The Egyptian Exchange (EGX) is aware of the global challenges

faced by emerging markets seeking portfolio flows. It has in

place a strategic plan to enhance portfolio flows to the

Egyptian market in the coming years via upgrading its

technology infrastructure, focusing more on sustainability

projects and streamlining its rules and regulations, to make

listing and trading on its platform, easier and more investor

friendly.

In fostering a culture based on attracting more investment

flows, the EGX is pleased to announce that its annual

Summit in 2015, will focus primarily on investors’ needs in

order to attract more investment flows from Sovereign

Wealth Funds, pension funds and asset managers based in

traditional financial centers such as the UK and US; and

newer ones in Asia and Africa.

The EGX Investors Summit 2015 will provide delegates with

market insights regarding the Egyptian government’s recent

strategy to utilize the stock exchange as a funding venue for

its mega projects. It will also highlight the success stories of

blue chip companies listed on the EGX platform. Hence, the

Summit will help connect the investment community with

Egypt’s most promising investment opportunities, whether

from the government or the private sector side.

We hope that EGX Investors Summit 2015 will be a

constructive forum for our global and domestic clients and

would welcome their comments to enhance the workings of

the capital market in Egypt.

USE Appoints New Chief Executive

The new tax free savings regulations effective from 1

March was initiated by the National Treasury to

improve savings amongst South Africans and reduce

household indebtedness. The JSE’s TFSA intends to align

with the National Treasury’s goal, but also ensure that

investors are given access to the exchange in a cost

effective manner.

The JSE’s offering will be rolled out in collaboration

with approved stockbrokers in providing a platform

which allows for individuals to invest in selected JSE

listed instruments, such as Collective Investment Scheme

(CIS) Exchange Traded Funds tax free. These ETFs will

enable investors to diversify their risk by buying into a

basket or variety of securities through a single product

security.

“One of the common barriers to investing is the lack of

financial knowledge about the various financial

products. Our brokers have been carefully selected to

guide investors along their investment and savings

journey, by providing them with information and

bespoke financial advice,” says Ledwaba.

The JSE’s TFSA offers potential investors the following

features and benefits:

Investment in pre-selected Exchange Traded

Funds

Limited to investing R30 000 annually and

limited to a R500 000 lifetime contribution

No tax on interest earned

No Dividend Withholding Tax on dividends

earned

No Capital Gains Tax

No Securities Transfer Tax on purchases

“As a contributor to South Africa’s economy, our role at

the JSE is to not only support economic growth, but

ensure that we encourage South Africans to participate

in private sector investment.

TFSAs will ensure that we increase the level of

individuals participating on the exchange whilst

delivering on our promise to improve savings by

providing low risk, tax free savings investment

offerings,” Ledwaba concludes.

In March 2015, the Governing Council appointed Paul

Bwiso as the Chief Executive Officer of the Exchange,

he is responsible for the general superintendence of

the day to day management of the Exchange and

charged with execution of the corporate strategy.

Before joining the Exchange in March 2015, he was

the General Manager of Dyer & Blair Investment Bank

Uganda, a position he held for 6 years. He also

worked for Leads Insurance and UAP Insurance.

JSE Equity Market Achieves New Trading Record

Thursday 30 April 2015, The Johannesburg Stock

Exchange continues to beat its record highs after

recording 1, 025 million trades on the Equity Market this

Tuesday. The new record is well above the previous all-

time high of 1,018 million shares, which was last

recorded in July 1999 on the listing day of Old Mutual

Plc.

Director of the JSE’s Equity Market, Leanne Parsons

comments, “This is an encouraging milestone for the JSE

as it reinforces our value proposition as an enabler of

capital markets. In comparison to the corresponding

period in 2014, the daily average volume traded on the

JSE has increased 15% to 281 million shares, further

illustrating the growth in market sentiment led by

resource stocks.”

The mining, life insurance and property sector

contributed to this record breaking performance.

Mining traded 746 million shares. Merafe

Resources Ltd was the traded 725 million shares

on the JSE on Tuesday and followed this with

an announcement advising its shareholders that

Royal Bafokeng Resources Holdings (Pty) Ltd

(Royal Bafokeng) had notified the company

that it has disposed of its entire 28.68% interest

in the shares of the company to Glencore (

Nederland) B.V

Life Insurance traded 31 million shares, with Old

Mutual plc taking the lead at 21 million shares.

REITs traded 25 million shares, with SA Corp

Real Estate Fund leading the charge at 19 million

shares.

Cyber security, high frequency trading (HFT) and the hot

topic of dark pools were also discussed. The increased

prevalence of algorithmic trading has created an added

level of risk for institutional buy-side trade dynamics and,

with the appropriate regulation, dark pools provide a

potential solution to mitigate against this.

Donna Oosthuyse, JSE Director of Capital Markets, who

attended TradeTech 2015 as a member of the JSE team

adds that global regulatory interest around buy-side activity

– and in particular Low Latency Trading and certain rules

governing dark pools – is likely to continue to increase:

“There has been much debate around the expected

introduction of the 'Markets in Financial Instruments

Directive (MiFID) II within the European Union’s member

states.

This appears to be a hot topic amongst the leading

exchanges in Europe. While this is not likely to impact

South Africa for the time being we know that South Africa

tends to adopt best global practice and there is a chance

that new regulatory measures, such as MIFID II, may start

to filter through to local regulatory environment.”

The JSE has already implemented a number of initiatives,

which speak to these current developments, aimed at value

creation for long-term, buy-side institutional investors as

well as improved accessibility and security. These include:

1. Revision to the Block Trade rule - The JSE recently

introduced a revision to the rules governing block trading

which is aimed at increasing accessibility for certain

qualifying investors and enhancing protection for buy-side

traders. Trading instruments in the ZA01 listing category

now requires 30% of ADV in order to execute a trade,

while instruments in ZA02 re- quire 50% of ADV and

instruments in ZA03, ZA04, ZA06 requiring 100% of ADV

in order to execute a single off book block trade. The JSE

may consider including further instruments in this mix but

only to the extent that effective monitoring and regulation

can be assured and optimum levels of market security

maintained.

JSE Leads Local Market on International Regulation

JOHANNESBURG, 13 May 2015 - The Johannesburg

Stock Exchange (JSE) recently led a local delegation to

the global TradeTech 2015 conference held in Paris,

2. Introduction of the Closing Pr ice Cross (CPX)

platform - The JSE has also recently introduced the

CPX post-close trading session which allows

qualifying clients the opportunity to trade, for a

limited time, at the published closing price. This

session will enable Trading Services Participants

(TSPs) an additional five minutes to trade onscreen

using the published closing price determined in the

CPP session.

3. Introduction of a new order attr ibute – Here,

investors can elect not to interact with hidden

orders in order to provide further security to their

trade executions.

“South African institutional investors and the buy-side

community now have access to a well-balanced mix of

trading options which are on a par with global trends,”

says JSE Head: Equities, Equity Derivatives & Business

Intelligence, Nicola Comninos. “It is essential to keep

abreast with global innovations among the buy-side

community to ensure that the JSE continues to provide a

relevant service offering to its clients adding that South

Africa was suitably comparable with leading exchanges

in terms of its product offering.”

Going forward, the JSE will continue to monitor global

legislation in order to introduce relevant local

innovations where necessary. In June, the JSE will attend

the International Derivatives Expo in London, which

focuses on perspectives from exchange leaders,

regulators, traders and the buy-side on a range of issues

impacting the derivatives industry. The JSE is also

looking to represent the local market at the BRICs

Alliance conference hosted alongside the China Financial

Futures Exchange. In addition, there has been increasing

interest among the international investor community to

pursue collaborative opportunities with a wider range of

African exchanges.

Adds Comninos: “I am confident that the JSE is

appropriately-aligned with meeting the global trends

relating to changing buy-side investor demand,

especially those aimed at encouraging stability for long-

term institutional investors. I believe we are providing a

world-class offering at the JSE that will lead to longer-

term value creation for our valued institutional clients.”

JSE appointed to chair Assoc iation of Fu -

tures Markets

Johannesburg, 19 May 2015: The JSE, Africa’s leading stock

exchange and founding member of the Association of

Future Markets (AFM), has been elected to chair the

association for the next two years.

AFM, a non-profit association was established in 1998 in

Buenos Aires, Argentina by ten exchanges: Budapest

Commodity Exchange, the Central Clearing House and

Depository Ltd. of Budapest, the Romanian Commodities

Exchange, the Buenos Aires Futures Exchange, the

Amsterdam Commodity Exchange, South African Futures

Exchange, the Warsaw Commodity Exchange and the

Malaysian Derivatives Exchange.

The role of the association is to promote and encourage

the establishment of new derivative and related markets,

coordinate conferences to further promote dialogue

amongst its members and country hosts and to encourage

opportunities that will strengthen partnerships and

knowledge sharing amongst its member exchanges.

Donna Oosthuyse, Director: Capital Markets comments

“We delighted that our own Chris Sturgess, Director of

Commodities and Key Clients will take on the chairman

role to represent the JSE. He has been a prominent

participant in the forum for a number of years and is

passionate about developing derivative markets. This is also

great recognition of the JSE’s leadership role within the

AFM as well as the work we are doing to encourage

collaboration and the development of derivative markets

across the globe.”

The new partnership will see the JSE aligning its

environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure

indicators and data collection methodology with FTSE

Russell’s evolved ESG approach.

This will enable JSE-listed companies to form part of a

global universe of corporates whose disclosure practices

are assessed against cutting edge ESG factors and will

provide investors with expanded opportunities to

integrate ESG considerations into their investments. The

new approach will replace the SRI Index.

“This transition represents the next generation in our

evolutionary work to promote ESG disclosure, building

on the achievements of the SRI Index and the great

strides that South African corporates have made in this

regard, and will enable us to respond to the growing

need amongst investors seeking to integrate sustainability

considerations into their investments,” says Corli Le

Roux, Head, SRI Index and Sustainability at the JSE.

Both the JSE and FTSE Russell have a long track record of

innovation in the ESG and sustainability sector, and have

a long-standing relationship through the calculation of the

FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series. “Collaborating with FTSE

Russell on expanding our efforts in sustainability offers a

number of synergies and benefits for both organisations

and our clients, and was thus a logical opportunity for us

to pursue,” says Le Roux.

David Harris, Head of ESG for FTSE Russell said: “In

recent years, we have continued to see growing levels of

interest in responsible investment and ESG factors from

institutional and retail investors throughout the world.

We are delighted to be working closely with the JSE as

part of our response to meet this increased demand, and

supporting a market that has been a frontrunner in

promoting high quality ESG disclosure and practice. ESG

factors are increasingly being recognized as critical to both

risk and return considerations for mainstream

investments.”

“The dynamic nature of sustainability requires a constant

re-evaluation of approaches to support an enabling

environment in which listed companies can respond to

the growing pressure to report and where investors can

integrate issues that are material to their portfolios. The

JSE is committed to remaining a thought leader in this

regard and to continue to find opportunities in

responsible investment,” concludes Le Roux.

NIGERIAN STOCK EXCHANGE NEWS

NSE and MSCI S ign Strateg ic Agreement

In March 2015, MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI), a leading

provider of investment decision support tools

worldwide, and The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), the

stock exchange servicing the largest economy in Africa,

today announced a strategic co-operation agreement to

develop and market a co-branded family of indexes for

the Nigerian equity markets.

Existing and future indexes will be co-branded as the

MSCI/NSE Indexes, including the flagship NSE 30 Index

and NSE 50 Index, which will become the MSCI/NSE 30

Index and the MSCI/NSE 50 Index, respectively.

Additional indexes will also be jointly developed and

launched in the future based on client demand and

market development. The indexes will be used as

performance benchmarks and as the basis for index-

linked products for investors seeking exposure to the

Nigerian capital markets.

“As the largest economy in Africa, Nigeria is increasingly

positioning itself at the center of the development of the

region’s capital markets,” said Baer Pettit, Managing

Director and Head of MSCI’s Product Group. “MSCI is

very proud to establish a strategic relationship with The

Nigerian Stock Exchange, and we look forward to

working with them to raise the profile of these indexes

around the world. The combination of MSCI’s emerging

and frontier markets index expertise and NSE’s position

as one of the leading exchanges in the region will, we

believe, deliver high quality indexes for both

international and domestic investors.”

Oscar N. Onyema, CEO, NSE, said, “We are proud to

collaborate with MSCI, one of the top and most-

respected index providers for global stock markets. Our

collaboration provides the global investing public, listed

companies and other stakeholders in the Nigerian

market access to MSCI’s high quality products and

internationally recognized brand. The Nigerian Stock

Exchange, in cooperation with MSCI, will continue to

innovate and bring products to market that will increase

the sophistication of African markets, and continue to

establish Nigeria as the market for entrepreneurial

growth.”

The MSCI/NSE Indexes will be calculated and disseminated

by MSCI, based on the same industry leading standards that

apply to the MSCI indexes. MSCI will commercialize the

indexes outside of Nigeria while the NSE will continue to

serve clients in Nigeria.

NSE CEO Awarded Most Innovative CEO of the Year

The Chief Executive Officer of The Nigerian Stock Exchange

(NSE), Mr. Oscar N. Onyema, OON, has been named Most

Innovative CEO of the Year in recognition of his

tremendous role in the development of the Nigerian capital

market. The award was presented at the inauguration

ceremony of the 9th President of the Abuja Chamber of

Commerce and Industry, Mines & Agriculture

(ABUCCIMA), held at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja on

January 21, 2014.

According to Mr. Jude Igwe, Vice-president, public

relations, ABUCCIMA, the awards are given to only

individuals who have consistently demonstrated un-

common resilience and innovation in their various

economic engagements.

Commenting on the award, Onyema said, “I am honored

to receive the 2014 Abuja Chamber Award for Most

Innovative CEO of the Year. While this award is personal in

nature, it would not have been possible without the great

team at The Nigerian Stock Exchange, who are making

significant contributions to the development of the

Nigerian capital market and Africa at large. This award is

for my team, I am just receiving it in my name”.

Onyema also noted that “The NSE has made great strides

in its transformation journey which has brought about

major reviews of its governance, market structure and

operations, a stronger regulatory environment, and the

implementation of innovations required for delivering a

robust and efficient capital market”.

Alhaji Aliko Dangote, GCON, Sir Emeka Ofor and Mr.

Olatunde Ayeni were among those honoured by the Abuja

Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture.
