Mauritian-based Ethos Capital, an investment entity offering capital market investors a unique, liquid platform to gain exposure to a diversified pool of unlisted private equity type investments, today successfully listed in the “Financials – Speciality Finance” sector of the main board of the securities exchange operated by the JSE.

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) says it has been reassured by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) that steps are in place to prevent a reoccurrence of a programming error, which resulted in incorrect data being reported.

Johannesburg, 24 July 2016: It has come to the JSE’s attention that due to a programming error affecting the manner in which it extracts statistical data from its core transactional systems, the non-resident (foreign trading) statistics for the Equity Market for the period 31 May to 20 July 2016, were incorrectly calculated.

Ethos Private Equity (EPE) was intending to list Ethos Capital on the JSE next month with an intention to raise as much as R2 billion in a stock placement, it said yesterday.
