dynamic wealth management zurich, Judges ratify curatorship application

Johannesburg. – Last year there were grounds to place the operations of Dynamic Wealth and some of its associate companies into curatorship.

The way in which the investments in its income portfolios were converted into preferential shares in Specialist Income Limited (SIL) alone constitute sufficient reason to grant the application for provisional curatorship.

This was the unanimous decision of five judges in the Supreme Court of Appeal last week.

In February 2010 the Financial Services Board (FSB) submitted an application to the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria for Dynamic Wealth and some of the other companies to be placed into curatorship under its control.

This application, based on an FSB inspection report regarding the activities of Dynamic Wealth, was dismissed eight months later.

In September last year then acting Judge Hennie de Vos decided that the inspection report was only secondary proof of the fact and did not adequately prove that curatorship was justified.

Dynamic Wealth Management Headlines: Zurich Financial Services profits up 20% in first half

ZURICH—Zurich Financial Services Ltd.’s profit climbed to $1.97 billion during the six months ended June 30, an increase of 20% compared with the same period of 2010, the Swiss insurer reported Thursday.

Although Zurich suffered catastrophe-related losses during the first six months of this year, it benefited from a gain of $441 million before tax on the sale of shares in Beijing-based New China Life Insurance Co. Ltd. Zurich said it reduced its stake in the Beijing-based life insurer to 15% from 20% in February.

Zurich’s gross written general insurance premiums and policy fees rose 5% to $18.88 billion during the first six months of 2011, compared with the same period last year. In its global life unit, premiums and policy fees gained 1% year over year to $13.11 billion in the first half. Meanwhile Zurich’s Farmers Management Services unit saw revenues fall 2% year over year to $1.34 billion between January and June.

Dynamic Wealth Management News, Tips and Advice

BHP Billiton will continue to source workers through external agencies despite a recent legal stoush over a rogue employment scam.

The mining giant was forced to take legal action through an arm of the United Nations earlier this year to combat a scam that solicited workers for BHP Billiton without the company’s knowledge.

According to legal documents filed to the World Intellectual Property Organisation, European-based scammers approached potential employees of BHP Billiton and advised them that the company considered them suitable for employment.

The approaches were made using the internet domain “bhp-plc.com” — an address strikingly similar to BHP Billiton’s trading name on the London Stock Exchange.

The culprits had no commercial relationship with BHP Billiton, and the company fears they may have issued “phoney employment contracts” that purport to be on behalf of BHP Billiton.

The scam sought to capitalise on an era of severe skills shortages in the resources sector, where most large mining companies — including BHP Billiton — rely on external agencies to help supply labour.

BHP Billiton believes the approaches were an attempt to scam unsuspecting victims of personal information, rather than an unauthorised attempt to supply labour in a freelance capacity.
