The Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Ghana, Dr Adu Antwi, has advised the youth to take advantage of the investment opportunities at their disposal and desist from wasting their money.
He said they would secure their future financially by doing so. “The young ones must know that the future is not static so if you get all the money today and you blow it, in the future you will have problems”, he said.
Dr Antwi gave the advice when he joined the management and staff of InvestEye Capital Partners Limited to celebrate their first corporate event in Accra last Friday. The event was also used to celebrate and reward staff and clients who have been with the company since it began its operations.
Other corporate institutions that were recognised for their selfless support to the company included the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), Dalex Finance, GNJ Communications Limited and HR Focus.
InvestEye is a limited liability company incorporated in Ghana in September 2013 under the Company's Code Act, 1963. The company is regulated and supervised by the SEC. Some of its services include the management of investible funds, project financing and the provision of investment advice.
Others include asset and fund management, investment research and advisory, private equity financing, corporate financing, and brokerage services.
Dr Antwi also urged investment companies to show confidence in the public so that people would be encouraged to invest.
“In the financial market, the only important asset that we have is not the money, not the buildings, but what we call public confidence. If we lose public confidence, everything will go out of the market”, he said.
He also assured the general public of the commission’s commitment to ensuring that only competent individuals and organisations were issued licences to operate in order to protect their investment.
In his address, the Chief Executive of InvestEye Capital Partners Limited, Nana Osae Addo-Dankwa, said notwithstanding economic challenges, the company, through dint of hard work, had been able to grow its customer base from just one individual to 134 clients.
That, he said, included 10 institutional and corporate clients and “ our Funds Under Management (FUM) keeps increasing weekly.”
On future aspirations, Nana Addo-Dankwa said in the next five years, the company sought to become a household name for all investment solutions in the country. He lauded the loyalty of the company’s clients and urged them to continue to do more.
