Luminaris Securities and Capital Ltd. Receives Official Approval from South Africa’s FSCA
Dual Authorization Granted for ETF Issuance and Market-Making Operations, Marking a New Stage of Internationalization for South Africa’s Asset Management Industry
South Africa, 27th Nov 2025 – Luminaris Securities & Capital Ltd. has officially received approval from South Africa’s Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), authorizing the firm to issue, manage, and operate Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and to conduct market-making activities in the South African market. This milestone marks a major step forward for South Africa’s capital markets in the direction of internationalization, diversification, and transparency—enabling local investors to access global indices, diversified asset classes, and major industry growth opportunities at lower cost and higher efficiency.

Regulatory Breakthrough Under the FSCA Framework
Following FSCA authorization, Luminaris will launch multiple ETFs for local issuance, establish full compliance connectivity with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), and provide dual-currency investment options in both South African rand (ZAR) and US dollars (USD).
The ETF product suite will include:
- Broad-based Index ETFs (JSE, S&P, global indices)
- Sector-themed funds (technology, resources, finance, telecom, consumer industries)
- Quant-driven active management ETFs
The company noted that the approval reflects strong recognition from South African regulators of its transparent operations, global-standard risk controls, and institutional asset management capabilities.
ETFs: A Catalyst for Market Liquidity and Structural Upgrading
ETFs have become mainstream investment vehicles worldwide. Global ETF AUM increased from USD 1 trillion in 2010 to USD 11 trillion in 2024, driven by low fees, transparency, and real-time tradability.
FSCA’s approval of Luminaris’ ETF programme is expected to:
- Enhance secondary market liquidity
- Broaden institutional investor participation
- Introduce index-based and quantitative investment tools
- Attract global capital inflows into the South African market
As one senior market economist commented,
“An ETF is not merely a fund — it is a structural upgrade to the market mechanism.”
Investment Outlook: Supporting South Africa’s Long-Term Growth
South Africa remains one of Africa’s most diversified and financially developed economies. Despite cyclical fluctuations, its financial system, trade foundation, and expanding middle class underpin long-term growth.
ETF and market-making operations are expected to bring three strategic advantages:
- Formation of long-duration capital — attracting pension, insurance, and bank-managed funds
- Market transparency and pricing efficiency — through index-based valuation frameworks
- Enhanced international capital access — enabling global investors to participate more easily in local market growth
Experts believe this development positions South Africa to evolve from an “emerging market” into a “global investment destination.”
First Batch of Flagship Products
Luminaris plans to introduce two flagship offerings:
South Africa Core Growth ETF (SACG)
Tracking leading South African enterprises while incorporating international weightings; suitable as a long-term portfolio core holding.
Market Maker Stock Intelligence System (MMSIS)
An automated market-making engine based on real-time order-book analytics and dynamic pricing models, designed to optimize liquidity, narrow spreads, stabilize market activity, and provide investors with more competitive execution.
These products will be registered within the FSCA and JSE regulatory frameworks. South African investors may subscribe directly through the Luminaris online trading platform, while Non-Resident South Africans (NRSA), overseas South African investors, and qualified foreign institutional investors (QFII) may participate upon approval.
Industry Response: “One of the Most Significant Market Innovations in Years”
Financial analysts describe the dual approval for ETF issuance and market-making as one of South Africa’s most impactful capital-market upgrades in recent years.
“ETF adoption aligns South Africa with global investment standards,” said a senior economist at the South African Capital Markets Research Center. “We will see more international inflows, more AI-driven advisory tools, and more structured investment products entering this high-potential market.”

Nelson Kamwaro Commits to Buying Avocados From Bungoma Farmers as Imara Avocado Factory Expands Regional Partnerships

Kenya, 27th Nov 2025 – Imara Avocado Factory Director Nelson Kamwaro has officially announced the company’s long- term commitment to buy avocados directly from farmers in Bungoma County, signaling a major step toward strengthening market access, stabilizing prices, and empowering growers in one of Kenya’s most promising avocado-producing regions. The announcement follows Imara’s active participation in the recent Bungoma Avocado Industry Engagement Forum, where farmers, cooperatives, county leaders, and agribusiness stakeholders convened to chart the future of the avocado value chain.
Speaking at the event, Elazia Clide said Imara Avocado Factory is ready to create a structured and reliable off-take program that will give Bungoma farmers confidence to invest more in their orchards and improve their production quality. He highlighted that the company’s regional expansion strategy is built on partnerships, transparency, and shared economic benefits between processors and farmers.
“Bungoma farmers have shown enormous potential, commitment, and resilience. Imara Avocado Factory is making a clear, long-term commitment to buy from this region and support farmers with fair pricing, dependable logistics, and guaranteed demand,” Kamwaro said. “Our vision is to strengthen the avocado value chain by ensuring that the people who grow the fruit can earn consistently and sustainably.”
According to Nelson Kamwaro, the company plans to work directly with farmer groups, SACCOs, and community-based organizations to streamline delivery schedules, improve aggregation points, and establish predictable purchasing cycles. Imara also intends to introduce quality-assurance guidelines that will help farmers increase their earnings by reducing post-harvest losses and meeting export-grade oil extraction standards.
The director noted that the company’s larger strategic plan—scaling production lines, expanding cold-chain networks, and improving traceability systems can only work if farmers across regions like Bungoma, Meru, Murang’a, and Nandi are fully integrated into the supply chain.
Elazia, Imara Avocado Factory’s Sales and Project Manager, pushed on the factories commitment and emphasized the company’s intention to build trust and long-standing relationships with farmers in the county.
“Our goal is to create a partnership framework where farmers know that when they produce, Imara will show up every season, every cycle,” Elazia said. “This isn’t a one-off engagement. We plan to
work closely with Bungoma farmers, offer them clear communication, reliable pick-up schedules, and a stable market they can depend on.”
Elazia added that the company saw firsthand the enthusiasm of Bungoma farmers during the avocado event and recognized the need for a buyer who is consistent, organized, and willing to invest in the region’s long-term prosperity. Imara intends to begin structured procurement from Bungoma in the upcoming harvest cycle, with plans to scale the volumes gradually as relationships strengthen.
The commitment aligns with Imara Avocado Factory’s broader mission of becoming one of East Africa’s most farmer-centered and value-driven avocado oil producers. By expanding its sourcing footprint into Bungoma, the company aims not only to increase its production capacity but also to uplift communities through predictable income, agricultural training, and fair market access.
As demand for avocado oil continues to rise globally, Kamwaro emphasized that Kenya’s success depends on building strong, transparent partnerships with farmers. Imara’s new commitment in Bungoma marks a significant step in that direction—and sets the tone for deeper collaborations across the region.

SwiftProxy.net Bolsters Cybersecurity Defenses with Anonymous Threat Hunting
Security teams leverage SwiftProxy.net’s residential IP network to proactively investigate cyber threats, track threat actor activity, and analyze malware sources without revealing their organizational identity.
Hong Kong S.A.R., 27th Nov 2025 – In the escalating arms race of cybersecurity, anonymity is a critical asset. SwiftProxy is emerging as a vital tool for security professionals, enabling them to conduct offensive security research and threat hunting from behind the veil of authentic residential IP addresses. This allows corporate security teams to scan for vulnerabilities, infiltrate hacker forums, and track malicious infrastructure without exposing their company’s digital footprint or triggering alerts among adversary groups.
The platform provides a crucial layer of operational security (OPSEC) for these sensitive activities. By routing traffic through SwiftProxyt‘s diverse pool of residential IPs, security analysts can mimic organic internet traffic from various global locations. This makes it exceptionally difficult for threat actors to identify, block, or retaliate against the investigating organization. This method is essential for gathering intelligence on emerging ransomware groups, phishing campaigns, and zero-day exploits directly from the sources where they are advertised and discussed.
Leading SOC (Security Operations Center) teams report that using SwiftProxy has enhanced their proactive threat detection capabilities. “Attribution is a two-way street. While we work to attribute attacks to threat actors, they also try to identify who is hunting them,” explained a Chief Information Security Officer. “SwiftProxy allows our team to gather crucial intelligence on dark web markets and emerging threats while maintaining our anonymity, fundamentally changing our proactive defense posture.

SwiftProxy Ensures Flawless Global User Experience for Digital Platforms
App developers and streaming services use SwiftProxy to verify content localization, test user interface functionality, and ensure consistent performance across different geographic regions.
Hong Kong S.A.R., 27th Nov 2025 – For global digital platforms, a seamless user experience in every market is non-negotiable. SwiftProxy is becoming the go-to solution for quality assurance (QA) teams at major streaming services, software companies, and gaming platforms to test their products as real users experience them around the world. The service allows them to confirm that localized content is delivered correctly, in-app purchases process accurately, and that geo-specific features function as intended.
The challenge these teams face is that content delivery networks (CDNs) and app stores often serve different versions of an application or website based on the user’s IP address. Without a tool like SwiftProxy, a QA tester in California cannot see the exact same version of an app that a user in Japan or Germany receives. This can lead to undetected bugs, broken localization, and a poor user experience in key international markets, ultimately impacting adoption and revenue.
By providing real residential IPs from target countries, SwiftProxy eliminates this blind spot. “Before integrating SwiftProxy into our QA process, we’d sometimes hear about localization bugs from our users abroad. Now, we catch them before they ever reach production,” shared a QA Lead for a major streaming service. “The ability to instantly view our service from a residential IP in Seoul or São Paulo is invaluable for delivering a truly polished global product.
