Addressing the media, company CEO Kenneth Sharpe said by listing on the attractive bourse, the company was affording ordinary Zimbabweans a safe investment vehicle free from the general worries of losing valuable savings through inflation. Sharpe said:
In this day and age where the majority are crying over eroded pensions and banked money losing its value; we provide the best and safest way of keeping and growing the value of your money.
For an example, if you invest as little as US$50 with us, you are assured that the amount will not depreciate.
We will not charge you handling fees.
We are an alternative to the formal banking system.
We have a goal of taking our company from the current annual sales of US$40 million to over US$100 million within seven years and to create a balance sheet that will exceed US$1 billion in value which is more than 5 times the one today.
