Dear Participant,
I am a student pursuing a Master’s Degree Programme, namely, Master of Management in Finance and Investment at the Wits Business School. As part of the requirements for the degree, I have embarked upon a research thesis entitled, “Development of a national Stock market in Lesotho; A response to structural challenges”. It involves investigating key stakeholders’ views in the finance and investment fields and potential investors in the stock market and gauge their expectations about the national stock market.
I am inviting potential companies that intent to list on the stock market and the finance and investment specialists to participate in this survey (and possibly schedule an interview). Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary and anonymous and can be completed using a computer or a smart device. I assure you that any information gathered in this study will be treated as confidential; it will be used for statistical purposes only and will be published at an aggregate level. It should take you about 7-10 minutes. Should you request further clarification on any of the questions, please feel free to email or call me using the details below.
Thank you for your assistance
Yours sincerely,
Marealeboha Puseletso Tau.
