Therefore, all investment services and activities related to the Capital Market will be exclusively carried out by Financial Intermediation Agents, legally authorized by the CMC to operate in the Capital Market: (i) Securities Distribution Companies (SDVM); (ii) Securities Brokerage Companies (SCVM).

The entities authorized to operate in the referred market are available for consultation in CMC's official website (www.cmc.ao). This allows clients to select the entity with which they want to work in the future.

In turn, Banco de Fomento Angola, S.A., with the purpose of ensuring continuity in the quality of its services to its customers, in the referred Capital Market area, has set up "BFA Capital Markets SDVM, SA", Sociedade Distribuidora de Valores Mobiliários (SDVM).
