“Some products offered by fund managers, for instance, collective investment schemes, are important because they provide an opportunity for small investors to have access to professionally managed, diversified portfolios of assets,” said CMA acting CEO Wycliffe Shamiah in a statement.
Runyah Lewa, the CEO of African Diaspora Asset Managers Limited said the company is interested in collective investment schemes that will initially encompass five funds, subject to the CMA’s approval and registration.
