Risks of investing in Zambia
- Currency (FX) risk. Zambia shares trade in ZMW. Your USD return moves with both the share price and the ZMW-to-USD exchange rate, which can help or hurt performance.
- Liquidity risk. Some LUSE-listed stocks trade thinly, so large orders can move the price and exits may take time. Frontier and emerging markets can be more volatile than developed ones.
- Dividends & withholding tax. Dividends may be subject to local withholding tax, which varies by country and any double-taxation treaty. Net dividends are converted to USD and credited to your wallet. Consult a tax adviser for your situation.
