Luminaris Securities and Capital Ltd. Receives Official Approval from South Africa’s FSCA

Published

on

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.”

About Luminaris Securities & Capital Ltd.

Luminaris Securities & Capital Ltd. is a multinational financial institution headquartered on Wall Street, with branches across Asia, Europe, and Africa. The firm specializes in ETF index investing, market-making and liquidity engineering, cross-border asset allocation, and institutional asset management, with over USD 200 billion in assets under management.

The South African regulatory approval marks a major milestone in the company’s Africa expansion strategy. Luminaris will introduce international-standard compliance frameworks and high-transparency disclosure practices to support South Africa’s continued integration with global financial markets.

Alyce Health Launches AI-Powered RTM Platform VIVO to Address Physical Therapy’s Critical Adherence Problem

Published

on

Up to 70% of U.S. patients fail to complete prescribed home exercises, driving poor outcomes and unnecessary healthcare costs

South Korea, 27th Nov 2025 — Alyce Health, an AI-driven digital health company, today announced the launch of VIVO, its Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) solution designed to dramatically improve patient adherence to physical therapy Home Exercise Programs (HEPs). VIVO leverages real-time artificial intelligence to provide personalized guidance and motivation, addressing one of the most persistent challenges in outpatient rehabilitation.

Studies show that only 30–35% of U.S. physical therapy patients consistently perform their home exercises as prescribed. This lack of adherence—commonly known as the “paper homework” problem—leads to slower recovery, treatment failure, and significant avoidable healthcare costs.

A major driver of this non-compliance is psychological. Patients frequently report feeling uncertain or anxious when performing exercises alone at home, often asking themselves, “Am I even doing this right?”

VIVO’s AI Coach directly addresses this barrier by delivering instant corrective and encouraging feedback during every exercise repetition. Patients receive clear, specific guidance such as “Straighten your knee a bit more” or “Great form—keep going.” This transforms home rehab from an isolating experience into one that feels supported, confidence-building, and engaging.

A Win-Win-Win for Patients, Providers, and Clinics

  • For Patients:
    Consistent, accurate exercise execution supports stronger clinical outcomes and accelerates recovery.
  • For Providers:
    High-quality, continuous exercise data enables more precise clinical decision-making.
  • For Clinics:
    VIVO helps naturally satisfy the 16+ days of monitoring required for RTM billing under CPT 98980/98981, improving operational efficiency and financial performance.

“Physical therapy success is often determined at home, not in the clinic,” said Dakyum Kang, CEO of Alyce Health. “Traditional paper instructions leave patients without the support they need. VIVO’s AI Coach acts as a digital partner, reducing anxiety, boosting motivation, and helping patients complete their care journey.”

Kang added, “Driving high patient adherence is the most important value VIVO delivers. It unlocks better clinical outcomes for patients and the full financial potential of RTM for providers.”

About Alyce Health

Alyce Health is an AI digital health company dedicated to improving rehabilitation outcomes through intelligent technology. Its platform, VIVO, combines real-time AI feedback, remote monitoring, and clinical insights to empower patients and support providers in delivering high-quality, evidence-based care.

Published

on

United States, 27th Nov 2025 – CalStudio, the leading no-code AI app builder platform, today unveiled Studios, an innovative new feature that enables creators to bundle multiple AI apps into a single branded storefront. This release allows creators to launch their own AI marketplaces, offering several tools under one cohesive brand with unified subscriptions and customizable domains.

With the growing adoption of AI-powered applications, creators are increasingly seeking ways to manage, monetize, and present multiple apps as part of a unified ecosystem. Studios address this need by providing a comprehensive platform for organizing, branding, and selling collections of AI apps, making it easier than ever for creators to reach users with a streamlined experience.

A Marketplace Experience for AI Apps

The Studios feature transforms the traditional app listing model into a marketplace-style experience. Creators can now organize multiple AI apps into a single, easy-to-navigate interface where users can browse, discover, and access different tools from one location. This approach not only enhances user engagement but also helps creators present a polished and professional digital storefront.

Simplified Subscription Management

Monetization is simplified through unified subscription management. Multiple apps within a Studio can be offered under a single subscription plan, allowing creators to manage billing and user access efficiently. This feature is particularly valuable for educators, developers, and businesses who want to monetize a suite of tools without forcing users to manage separate subscriptions for each app.

Custom Branding and Domain Support

Each Studio can be fully customized to reflect a creator’s brand identity. Logos, color schemes, layouts, and other design elements can be tailored to create a cohesive experience. In addition, creators can publish Studios on custom domains — such as footballgpt.io — providing a professional and recognizable web presence. Embeddable options are also planned for future updates, further enhancing the versatility of the platform.

Studios in Action

Early adopters are already leveraging Studios to launch their own branded AI ecosystems:

  • Science Studio – An educational Studio offering AI-powered learning tools that help students explore science interactively.
  • FootballGPT.io – A sports-focused Studio providing personalized GPT-based training assistants for athletes and coaches.

These examples demonstrate how Studios enables a wide range of use cases, from education and sports to business tools and productivity apps.

A New Era for AI App Creators

Studios turns CalStudio from an app builder into a full-fledged platform for creators,” said Aditya Saxena, Founder and CEO of CalStudio. “It allows anyone to create an entire branded ecosystem where users can access multiple AI apps in a consolidated manner. By combining no-code creation tools, integrated billing, analytics, and branding, we’re redefining how creators build and monetize AI products online.”
