Edit Request[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hello Wikipedia Editors, I have a conflict of interest with Alexander Forbes Group Holdings and I want to place some request for edit the page to keep it updated. 1. Please add the website alexanderforbes.co.za in the left top box

2. In the introductory segment please add "is a diversified financial services organization"

Evidence: https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/AFHJ.J and https://markets.ft.com/data/equities/tearsheet/profile?s=AFH:JNB

3. Please add after first paragraph, "Alexander Forbes Group Holdings has received many awards from different awarding bodies".

Evidence: https://www.listcorp.com/jse/afh/alexander-forbes/news/acceptance-of-an-award-by-a-director-2718748.html, https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/ALEXANDER-FORBES-GROUP-HO-18177620/news/Alexander-Forbes-Acceptance-of-an-award-by-a-prescribed-officer-39900082/

4. Replace "Alexander Forbes is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) and its clients span both the private and public sector market segments on the institutional side, and individual members, as well as the wider individual market, on the retail side" with "The company offers employee benefits consulting (including healthcare), investment management, insurance and wealth management solutions to both corporate clients and individual customers. It is listed on the JSE Limited (JSE) and its clients span both the private and public sector market segments on the institutional side, and individual members."

Reason: It is not clear what the company does, so it is necessary to be there.

Evidence: https://news.prudential.com/prudential-financial-and-leapfrog-investments-announce-intention-to-acquire-strategic-minority-interest-in-alexander-forbes-group-holdings-limited.htm, https://cfi.co/menu/corporate/2018/02/alexander-forbes-group-three-strategies-for-growth/

5. Please add after last sentence of the second para "The company’s principal geographic focus is South Africa (where it has been operating since 1935) sub-Saharan Africa and the Channel Islands."

Evidence: https://www.listcorp.com/jse/afh/alexander-forbes

6. Remove this section : "They derive the majority of their operating income (93%) and profit from operations (97%) from South Africa, with Emerging Markets remaining a key long-term growth prospect for the group. Recently Alexander Forbes plans to sell its insurance subsidiary in Namibia."

Reason: The link doesn't say it.

7. Please add a section with awards and add the following :

Partially done and closed. The awards mentioned in point 7 are not all notable ones. I have added some which appeared worth mentioning. If you still think something more needs to be added, you can do that by properly following the edit request format. Chirota (talk) 09:09, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
