OUR VISION

"To dispel the old image of Africa and embrace the Continent's growing opportunities in art and business. To showcase the many talents and achievements of our African brothers and sisters, and to focus attention on the positive aspects of Africa, too often neglected by the mainstream."

With the rapidly growing climate of change in the business arena, one entity that is continuing to prove a vital ingredient for success is creativity. Such creativity is also fundamental in art. With the belief that these two schools of thought share the same entity for success one can merge these to create a platform for change and success in Africa.

COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT
 
This is one of Africa Presents main focus at hand. We are trying to develop 'a collective investment scheme' in West Africa which will eventually filter through to the rest of Africa.
A collective investment scheme is a way of investing money with other people to participate in a wider range of investments than may be feasible for an individual investor, and to share the costs of doing so. A scheme currently being implemented in Ghana, with the appropriate regulatory boards......
 
 

Diversity and risk

One of the main advantages of collective investment is the reduction in investment risk (capital risk) by diversification. An investment in a single equity may do well, but it may collapse for investment or other reasons (e.g., Marconi, Enron). If your money is invested in such a failed holding you could lose your capital. By investing in a range of equities (or other securities) the capital risk is reduced.

  • The more diversified your capital, the lower the capital risk.

This investment principle is often referred to as spreading risk.

Collective investments by their nature tend to invest in a range of individual securities. However, if the securities are all in a similar type of asset class or market sector then there is a systematic risk that all the shares could be affected by adverse market changes. To avoid this systematic risk investment managers may diversify into different non-perfectly-correlated asset classes. For example, investors might hold their assets in equal parts in equities and fixed income securities.

Reduced dealing costs

If one investor were to buy a large number of direct investments, the amount they would be able to invest in each holding is likely to be small. Dealing costs are normally based on the number and size of each transaction, therefore the overall dealing costs would take a large chunk out of the capital (affecting future profits). Pooling money with that of other investors gives the advantage of buying in bulk, making dealing costs an insignificant part of the investment.
