Why was it important to establish the AZOFA?
According to Mhere, one of the key objectives for AZOFA is to provide a recognised central organisation for all Zimbabwe Offshore Financial Advisers in order to safeguard the interests of the investing community and promote the professional and ethical conduct of Financial Advisers.
The Association intends to assure the investing community of the existence of a class of Offshore Financial Advisers who can be relied on as being trustworthy and duly qualified to perform their duties.
Furthermore, the Association aims to watch over legislation affecting Offshore Financial Advisers, and to legitimately promote, support and assist the carrying into effect of any legislation with the objective of keeping the common good of members and the general public in mind.
Why this particular selection of members?
The council is predominantly made up of individuals identified as key players in the industry, based on their experience and expertise to provide guidance to the Association.
What is the benefit of partnering with SECZIM?
It is very important for the Association to engage as a partner with the Securities & Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe (SECZIM) and other relevant organisations to ensure fair and proportionate regulation for Members.
