Goals & Objectives
1. The Investment Analysts in Africa community will strive to establish itself as the champion of professional standards within the African Investment Analysts community.
2. Members aim to raise awareness of regional companies, exchanges, investments & opportunities.
3. Members aim to improve the quality of our investment analysis in growing the confidence levels in our markets.
4. The forum links market participants operating on the continent to promote knowledge sharing, professional development and career opportunities.
In the current climate of increasing competition for global investment, we remain focused on this goal.
Join the professional network that is developing both the financial field through knowledge sharing, collective idea development and market research collaboration; our regional economies, stock markets and our professional and business relationships with one another.
By setting benchmarks for investment analysis, raising our standards in corporate disclosure, and extending our networks, we can achieve the objectives to attract increased portfolio investment, optimise our company valuations, improve liquidity in our markets, and lower the cost of capital in boosting the commercial success of African business initiatives, PPPs, start-ups, IPOs and exchange listed companies.

The network of professionals is designed to facilitate interaction on investment ideas and market themes, as well as mentoring analysts and fund managers, in support of a Pan-African Stock Exchange, African stockbrokers and African investment banks.
Primarily, members are engaged in the decision-making processes in the field of finance, investment management and research. Financial professionals include CFAs, directors of research, sell-side analysts, buy-side research analysts, quantitative analysts, chief investment officers, asset managers or portfolio managers (mutual & hedge), traders, stockbrokers, private equity and venture capital specialists, investment bankers, corporate financiers, investment vendors, consultants and equity traders involved in investment research and public listings.
The network of security analysts promotes awareness and understanding of securities analysis of regional companies, infrastructural investment in Africa, debt financing, and the operation, rules and incentives of regional securities markets.
It also focuses on the application of new and innovative techniques in finance -new metrics, analytic tools, methodologies, and benchmarks - with particular emphasis on the use of quantitative techniques in analyzing investment portfolios, asset allocation, measuring financial performance and risk management.
It promotes ethical and professional standards within the investment industry, encourages professional development, and facilitates the open exchange of information, opinions and African investment opportunities.
