A statement issued by the company said the new owners have reconstituted its board for NDK Capital with Mr. Eric Nana Otoo (an Investment Banking Consultant), as chairman. Members of the board include Mrs. Eugenia Basheer (Managing Director, NDK Capital) and Mr. Mensah Seneadza (Country Manager and West Africa Business Head for Schweppes International). The rest are Mr. Kwabena Boamah (an international business consultant) and Dr. Justice D. Yankson (Medical Doctor and Lawyer).

“Our team, working in line with the new vision of the board, has earnestly begun repositioning the company to serve you, our clients, better, deliver greater value to you and make the company a financial beacon and investment gateway for Africa,” says Eugenia Basheer, Managing Director of NDK Capital, in the statement to clients of the company announcing the change in ownership.

“Over the next few months we shall undergo a renaming and a rebranding of the entity and introduce novelty in our services and range of products. These will reflect our new promise and vision, that has you, our client, as our ultimate focus.”

NDK Capital was established in May 2010 and received its license from the Securities and Exchange Commission a month later to operate as a fund manager and investment adviser.

The company launched the first ever bond index in Ghana, the NDK Aggregate Bond Index, in 2013.
