About us

Building and managing wealth in Zambia

Laurence Paul Investment Services Limited leverages the unique strengths of our people to offer institutional and individual clients a full range of financial services and product expertise.

Our story

A full-service investment firm, built for a growing market

Laurence Paul is a privately held business established as a full service investment management, investment banking, principal investments and securities trading firm. Our firm is focused on providing unbiased advisory and investment services to entities and individuals involved in investing in and developing Africa’s productive infrastructure.

Zambia’s economy has grown impressively in recent years, following the successful privatisation of state‑owned enterprises and the rejuvenation of the mining, agricultural, tourism and construction sectors. Our capital markets have matched that growth and are now an integral part of the economy, offering real and substantial returns for investors while giving both multinational and local companies access to capital.

Several IPOs, rights issues and corporate bonds have been carried out successfully and have contributed to the Lusaka Stock Exchange being one of the best performing emerging markets in Africa in recent years. Laurence Paul is well positioned to satisfy the growing need for a locally based asset management and securities trading firm capable of serving the demands of local and international investor clients.
