At the moment we do not accept ZWL/RTGS for the funding of an account.
We are not licensed to handle hard cash on behalf of clients, and hence we prefer clients to use electronic and other bank supported ways of sending money.
Funds are only sent to the same account that was used to fund the account. This is to reduce money laundering.
Share certificates are sent to the purchaser via email.
Subject to volumes of transactions and other workload, share certificates are generally sent to the purchaser in about a week after the purchase.
All transactions are effected from funded accounts and no credit facilities are availed for clients.
Statements are sent out via email on a monthly basis
We have a team of professional analysts who report on the listed companies or specific sectors of the economy, and the reports are issued out to our clients regularly, at least monthly.
Recommendations to BUY/SELL/HOLD are issued on select and evaluated counters at least monthly.
In a stock market share prices do up as well as down, which is why we advise investors to invest only the funds they can afford to lose.
When the shares that are being ordered are not available at the time of ordering, the order does not go through / is not filled, and goes on a pending list until it is either filled or cancelled.
Currently we do not allow our clients to short a counter.
Orders tend to take time to reflect on one’s portfolio, therefore day trading is not possible in a situation like that.
