Who holds and safeguards Global Alpha Capital Limited's funds, how its board is appointed, and how conflicts of interest are disclosed. These facts apply across every fund Global Alpha Capital Limited runs.

Trustee / Custodian

CRDB Bank Plc

A limited liability company incorporated in Tanzania, licensed by the Bank of Tanzania as a commercial bank under the Banking and Financial Institutions Act, 1991, and licensed by the CMSA as a Securities Custodian. Acts as Trustee/Custodian for Alpha Halal Fund through its 'Al-Barakah Window' (Islamic banking window), consistent with the Fund's Shari'ah-compliant mandate. Principal duties per the Offer Document's section 10.4: take property of the Scheme into custody/control and hold cash and remittable assets in the name of or to the order of the Trustee; be liable for acts/omissions of agents holding bearer-form investments; take reasonable care that sale, issue, repurchase, redemption and cancellation of Units follow the constitutive documents; take reasonable care that the Manager's unit-valuation methods are adequate; carry out the Manager's investment instructions unless they conflict with the constitutive/offering documents; take reasonable care that investment and borrowing limits and authorisation conditions are complied with; advise the Manager, and independently advise the SAB, where an investment decision would contravene the Fund's investment policy; issue an annual report to Unitholders on the Manager's compliance; ensure Units are not credited/debited before subscription/redemption moneys are received/paid; ensure remittable investments are properly registered; keep electronically recorded entitlements separately identified; and supply the Authority with any information it considers necessary.

Board

Private company board of 6 directors, 3 of whom (including the Chairman) are Non-Executive: Dr Suleiman Rashid Mohamed, Mr Patrick N Kassera and Mr Godfrey Zephania are described in their own bios or the board summary as Non-Executive; Mr Imani Muhingo, Mr Geofrey Kamugisha and Ms Joan Kemigisha Kyejo are Executive Directors who also sit on the Alpha Capital Management Team. Mr Gerase Kamugisha is Secretary to the Board (not counted among the 6 directors). The document states the 3-non-executive/including-chairman split at the board-page header but does not individually label any one director's bio as 'Chairman' -- no specific name is asserted as Chairman here for that reason. Alpha Capital is self-managed: its own Board of Directors discharges all statutory obligations of a Manager under the Act, Regulations and the Trust Deed (no separate management company).
