    Some Fixed deposit investments

    have been confirmed. Work is

    ongoing to confirm / validate

    investments with other

    institutions.

    Investments with Fund Managers

    closed by SE C in 2019. Claims filed

    pending validation and payment

    subject to Government’s bailout

    package.

    Following much delay causing TTL Capital to complain to

    SE C, the Receiver began confirmation of validated

    amounts after SEC’s correspondence with Bank of

    Ghana and Receiver in August 2020. Validation

    processes are ongoing.

    These are exposures to the former Fund

    Manager being placements to private entities

    through the fund manager as arranger. The

    assets have been referred to First Fund Board

    Committee on Finance, Assurance and Risk for

    review and recommendations. The sub-

    committee’s work is ongoing.

    Bank account confirmations were obtained

    from the Fund’s bankers including Stanbic

    Bank the Custodian.

  • Considering that the Fund Manager has yet to complete validation and confirmation of the portfolio

    as stated above, valuation of the Fund’s investments is planned as follows:

    • Valuation of total portfolio with validated / confirmed investments: By this approach pricing of

    the investment will be based on assets validated and confirmed as the validation processes are

    completed.

    • To enable the fund manager to focus on validations of investments, shareholders are expected

    pass or carry the resolution to withhold redemptions for the period up to March 31, 2021.

    • The external auditors of the Fund, PKF Chartered Accountants, will be engaged to review the

    entire process and report to shareholders.

    • The Fund Manager’s status report as at March 31, 2021 will be presented to shareholders.

    We understand that shareholders are keen to establish their current investment balances. However, note

    that although TTL Capital is committed to hastening the process, due diligence is required to examine and

    undergo all the processes for the validation / confirmation of the Fund’s portfolio. Shareholders are

    hereby assured that when these process are completed, TTL Capital will be rightly positioned to manage

    the Fund in the best interest of all its shareholders.

    On behalf of the Fund Manager, kindly accept our appreciation for your patience, support and the

    confidence placed in TTL Capital. It is our sincere prayer that First Fund will thrive and flourish to achieve

    its objectives and prosper shareholders as expected.
