JSE & FSB
The South African investment landscape provides for two main groups of investment intermediaries, one group being JSE members regulated by the JSE, the other being financial services providers, such as investment managers, regulated by the Financial Services Board (FSB).
In certain instances, JSE members can also operate as FSB authorised and regulated financial services providers, in which case they comply with both the exchange and the FSB’s licensing requirements. This would typically occur where the JSE member is providing investment services in financial products not regulated by the JSE, such as unlisted shares. Read more.
