Hi Ianf, my name is Mbulelo- I'm one the co-founders of InvestSure. Firstly, thanks for the questions, it great to have an opportunity to engage with the Platinum Wealth community.
I short both the Resilient Group REITs companies (4 companies) and EOH would have been covered by the product.
The longer answer.
The product is designed specifically to protect investors from the negative effects of information around management fraud and dishonesty coming to light in companies in which they made investments in good faith. Management wrongdoing includes things like:
- Accounting fraud
- Breach of regulation or laws
- Deceptive, misleading or false statements
- Fraud
You've asked about deception which we've defined what we mean by more formally in the policy wording but what it comes down to is management deceiving the public and their shareholders by lying. making false representations, omitting material facts.
In the case of Resilient; they are accused of intentionally manipulating the share price of Resilient and it's 3 related companies in order to artificially prop the share prices. This accusation clearly falls under deception.
In EOH's case I'll assume you are referring to the most recent case, where they were accused of corruption relating to it's public sector business in December 2017. This is clearly an accusation of dishonest practices and would be covered by the product.
