Regional Association Memberships
AMEDA
Strate became a member of the African and Middle-Eastern Depositories Association
(AMEDA) in 2007. AMEDA's main purpose is to be a forum for the exchange of
information and experiences among its members in a spirit of mutual cooperation
and to promote best practice recommendations in services such as securities
depository, clearance, settlement, and risk management. AMEDA's goal is also to
support local markets in their efforts to adopt securities market regulations, while
considering their specific circumstances and to serve as a dialogue channel with
other organizations worldwide. AMEDA is formed for the benefit of its Member
community, as an elective, inter-professional and regional facility to foster a spirit of
cooperation, reciprocity and harmony among members, to achieve those objectives it
determines from time to time.
ACSDA
Strate is a member of The American Central Securities Depository Association
(ACSDA). Strate was invited to join ACSDA as South Africa shares a common
interest with the emerging South American markets. ACSDA is made up of CSDs in
North, Central and South America.
ACSDA's main purpose is to be a forum for the exchange of information and
experiences among its members in a spirit of mutual co-operation and to promote the
best practice recommendations in services such as securities depository, clearing,
settlement and risk management.
The benefits for Strate to be part of these two international associations are:-
- The attendance of yearly conferences regarding the latest issues, trends and developments in the industry;
- Contact with other CSDs for advice and recommendations;
- forum to discuss issues affecting emerging markets;
- As the USA and Canada are leading the way forward in terms of industry initiatives, this will allow Strate to learn from their experiences without the need to reinvent what already exists in this industry; and
- Representation at an international forum
