  While headquartered in South Africa, JPP's digital platform enables it to serve private companies and investors across the African continent, positioning itself as a pan-African solution for private capital markets.

  The company's strategic location in Sandton places it at the heart of Africa's financial services ecosystem.

JPP's digital marketplace is powered through a strategic partnership with Globacap, a global fintech leader specializing in private capital markets technology.

This collaboration provides JPP with world-class infrastructure for managing the complete lifecycle of private placements, from deal origination through investor onboarding, transaction execution, and ongoing portfolio management.

  By leveraging Globacap's proven technology stack, JPP can offer a sophisticated digital experience comparable to global private placement platforms while maintaining localized expertise in African markets.

  This technology-first approach enables JPP to operate at a lower cost structure than traditional placement agents, passing savings on to both issuers and investors.

Since its launch, JSE Private Placements has established itself as Africa's largest private marketplace, facilitating connections between private companies and a substantial investor base.

The platform currently serves over R12 billion worth of private investors, representing significant capital available for deployment into African private companies.

As a subsidiary of JSE Limited, JPP benefits from the parent organization's 135+ years of market infrastructure experience and institutional credibility.

This association provides private companies and investors with confidence in the platform's governance, regulatory compliance, and operational reliability.

The platform's value proposition centers on three key differentiators: comprehensive due diligence on all listed companies, a faster capital-sourcing mechanism than traditional methods, and pricing that undercuts market averages.

These factors have contributed to JPP's positioning as the go-to private placement platform for African companies seeking alternatives to traditional bank financing or venture capital.

JSE Private Placements operates under comprehensive regulatory oversight as an authorized Financial Services Provider (FSP No. 51709) under South Africa's Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act (FAIS).

This authorization permits JPP to render Category I advisory services related to securities and instruments including shares.

The company maintains strict compliance protocols including:

• Professional indemnity and fidelity insurance coverage
• Full compliance with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) as an accountable institution
• Client identity verification and know-your-customer (KYC) procedures
• Suspicious transaction reporting obligations
• "Fit and Proper" certification for all key individuals and representatives

  JPP emphasizes that it has not authorized, approved, or appointed any external representatives to provide financial services on its behalf, directing all inquiries to its official support channels.

  This regulatory framework provides investor protection while enabling the platform to facilitate private placements with institutional credibility.

  The company's focus on African private markets addresses a critical gap in the continent's capital formation infrastructure, where small and medium-sized enterprises often struggle to access growth capital through traditional channels.
