Functions and Objectives Of The Company

The Malawi Stock Exchange was set to serve a critical need in the Malawi economy of offering an alternative avenue of raising capital for companies to grow and provide a link between capital raisers and investors seeking profitable investment. The Stock Exchange was also established as a vessel through which Government would successfully privatize companies into the hands of many Malawians. In pursuance to these functions, the Stock Exchange operates under the following objectives:

• Promoting development of the capital markets in Malawi by, inter alia, mobilization of savings and related funds for investment in long-term assets and other productive enterprises.
• Promoting just and equitable principles of securities trading.
• Preventing fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices by securities issuers, brokers, dealers, market markers, underwriters, and all participants in the market.
• Preventing and/or removing impediments to, and promote a free and open market.
• Protecting both investor and public interest in the market.
