KYC & AML Verification Statement

Effective Date: 1 September 2026 | Framework: Credibility Before Commission

1. Commitment to Commercial Integrity

D-Portfolio Investments (Pty) Ltd ("The Portfolio", "the Company"), Registration Number 2024/004292/07, operates under the signature principle of Credibility Before Commission. We facilitate high-value commercial transactions, corporate real estate acquisitions, capital introductions, and commodity trades across South Africa, Africa, and international corridors.

To prevent fraud, eliminate non-performing intermediaries, protect principal parties, and adhere to global commercial standards, all transaction counterparties must undergo rigorous verification prior to introduction or commercial negotiation.

2. Counterparty Due Diligence Protocols

Before entering transaction discussions or presenting opportunities to our institutional network, The Portfolio conducts structured verification covering:

Principal Identity & Corporate KYC: Verification of company registration certificates (CIPC or foreign equivalent), ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO), registered directors, and tax status.
Mandate & Authority Verification: Certified board resolutions, power of attorney, or valid corporate mandate confirming that representative individuals possess legal authority to bind the entity.
Product & Asset Authentication: Verification of product origin, assay reports, refinery allocation letters, title deeds, mining licenses, or exploration permits from recognized accredited authorities.
Financial Capability & Capacity: Proof of Funds (POF), Bank Comfort Letters (BCL), or verified institutional funding capacity where appropriate for large-scale buy-side commitments.

3. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) & Sanctions Screening

The Company strictly avoids facilitating transactions involving funds, assets, or counterparties associated with illicit trade, bribery, corruption, money laundering, or terrorism financing. All international transactions are cross-checked against applicable global sanctions lists (including UN, OFAC, and EU sanctions registers where relevant).

4. Non-Circumvention & Confidentiality Standards

All preliminary submissions and commercial requirements are handled with complete executive discretion. Bilateral Non-Disclosure & Non-Circumvention Agreements (NCNDA) are executed prior to sharing sensitive corporate disclosures, technical models, or commercial contracts.

5. Right to Refuse or Discontinue Mandates

D-Portfolio Investments (Pty) Ltd reserves the absolute right to decline any transaction inquiry, seller offering, buyer requirement, or advisory mandate where counterparties fail to provide verifiable documentation, refuse KYC onboarding, or present unverified supply chains.
