About the Platform
What the African Markets Platform covers
The African Markets Platform (AMP) is Veri's institutional data and portfolio management environment for African listed equities. It covers 1,662 listed companies across 16 African stock exchanges, priced in 40 currencies, with every instrument checked and audited every working night. The platform is built for asset managers, pension administrators, investment advisers, custodians, and family offices that need reliable, current data on African markets.
The data engine sources closing prices from each exchange, applies a multi-step validation process, and flags any price that falls outside expected ranges, has missing volume, or fails reconciliation. Clients receive a daily audit trail showing which prices were accepted, flagged, or estimated, so portfolio valuations are always traceable to a source.
The toolkit layer covers security research, portfolio construction, back-testing against the AM100, AM200, and AM300 pan-African equity indices, compliance approval workflows, and client reporting. The approval workflow is designed for regulated environments: a portfolio manager proposes a trade, a second approver reviews it, and the system logs the full audit chain before any instruction reaches the dealing desk.
The platform is operated from Mauritius by Gravitas Finance LLC, an FSC-licensed investment adviser with a Global Business Licence, which provides the regulated administration layer for cross-border African equity mandates. Client assets are held through custodians in each market, with the platform managing reconciliation, settlement monitoring, and consolidated performance attribution across jurisdictions. The Mauritius base gives clients access to a treaty network spanning 46 countries, covering the majority of African markets where cross-border withholding tax treatment matters for net returns.
