- Licensed Dealer — Securities and Exchange Commission (Cap 354)
Laurence Paul is licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission to invest assets on behalf of its clients, either collectively or on an individual basis.
The company sets up and operates collective investment schemes of various types. These involve soliciting and pooling capital from institutional and individual clients, and then investing it on their behalf.
Clients benefit and make financial gains from what they put into the investment fund and from how it is managed and administered by our fund managers.
Setting up and managing investment funds involves researching and analysing securities, monitoring share prices and market conditions, and carrying the administrative and record‑keeping load that comes with it.
The Unit Trust is an open‑ended collective investment vehicle established under a Trust Deed that acts as a formal vehicle for investors to have their monies pooled together and have professional fund managers invest in securities on their behalf.
It operates in the usual manner as in other parts of the world, with investors’ interests being represented by units, whose value is based on the value of their investments and dependent on fund performance.
The Zambian property market has provided investors with a means of accessing both capital preservation and appreciation in the long term, as well as regular income. The country's continuing deficit in commercial, industrial and residential infrastructure means the property sector still has a lot of potential.
The Laurence Paul Global Fund is designed as a fund of funds that takes positions in selected fixed income and equity funds based in several financial centres around the globe, making direct use of instruments such as index trackers and investing in government debt securities.
Details of specific types of investments made by each of the funds are found in the Laurence Paul Unit Trust Investment Policy Statement, along with information on security and risk policies. We will walk you through it.
