Business Environment

The Dominican Republic has five basic pillars: tourism, free trade zone, manufacturing, agriculture, real estate development and mining. All of them depend on the American and European economies. During the administration of President Medina, the country has experienced a steady growth, the financing of small agricultural producers has been encouraged, allowing them to modernize, adding value to their production. This program helped hundreds of small producers throughout the country, and favored better budgetary control of the government.

Imports from the Dominican Republic have increased over the past five years, partly as a result of the Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement, Central America and the United States of America (TLC). In relation to exports, most comes from free trade zones and the mining sector, with agriculture being a fundamental pillar.

Commercial legislation has significantly improved in the Dominican Republic in various aspects: customs procedures, tax information, and banking supervision.

The AFP´s: The Pension Fund Administrators (AFPs) are public limited companies that have the objective of administering a pension fund and granting their members the benefits established by law. They are financed through the collection of commissions from their affiliates and may increase their savings through investments.

However, it is good to keep in mind that in the whole world the pension systems and their reforms are in a state of continuous evolution motivated by changes in care, by changing reform needs and by modifications of the environment, which are a reflection of circumstances objective and the evolution of points of view and perceptions. The current global financial crisis and the adjustment to a new situation of normality still uncertain will make future pension systems different from the previous ones.

In the Dominican Republic, the Pension Fund Administrators, known by its acronym as AFP, are specialized entities and legally authorized to perform the function of managing the savings for workers’ pensions and managing the payment of benefits and benefits that the Law establishes. This pension fund administrator is a financial company, whose main objective is to manage the personal accounts of the affiliated workers and grant them a pension when they end their working life, whether due to retirement, disability, old age or occupational accident.

¿What is AFI?: An investment fund is an association destined to gather contributions from a group of natural or legal persons (investors and / or contributors) to form a common heritage, it must be regulated by a higher body as a superintendence, which is a regulatory body that ensures the state in investor protection, it can be said that it is a more or less simple way to ensure an optimal return on the savings of an investor, this will be managed by a third party, which must be qualified as a qualified connoisseur or an expert, has the advantage that allows investors to have access to various asset portfolios, which if done individually is risky since access is probably limited and even without the possibility of accessing the market.

Each fund is made up of a group of assets that can be from:

  • Bonds
  • Actions
  • Properties
  • Deposit Certificates and others

According to the type of asset that integrates it, they are classified as:

  • Fixed income assets
  • Equity assets
  • Real Estate
  • Fixed Term among others

The Funds are designed according to each profile of investors depending on the level of risk that the investor is willing to assume

In general, the funds do not guarantee the performance of the funds, they depend on market behavior.

Said common equity would simultaneously invest in several assets such as bonds, stocks, time deposits, real estate, and any other instrument that the law allows. The combination of several of these assets is what is called an investment portfolio.

The Investment Funds Administrator is that third expert, who, following established guidelines and procedures, will be in charge of the management and administration of the investment portfolio, seeking to obtain the highest profitability, observing the risk levels and controlling the costs generated to the fund , following the guidelines established in the Prospectus and in the Fund’s Investment Regulations.

The investment fund is divided into equal parts called participation fees, the fees reflect the net value of all the assets that make up the fund. Each installment includes a proportion of the different assets that make up the fund. Each investor can buy more or less installments depending on the money he contributes. The value of the fee is variable, that is, it can increase or decrease daily due to fluctuations in the prices of the instruments that make up the fund’s investment portfolio. These fluctuations in the value of the quota could positively or negatively affect your investment.

The returns obtained in the management of the fund are distributed proportionally among all the quotas that comprise it. In this way, contributors see the fruits of management without having to spend time following the behavior of financial markets, nor having to make decisions as to the type of assets in which to invest.

First position of AFI in the Dominican Republic: The Administrator of Popular Investment Funds (AFI Popular) is a subsidiary of Grupo Popular S.A., a financial group with more than 40 years in the Dominican Republic and which is a majority shareholder of the Company.

In AFI Popular, funds are offered for each investor profile. Those who seek greater profitability should assume a higher level of risk. Each investment fund has an information leaflet and Internal Regulation available to the investing public, which stipulates the conditions of its operation, including the investment policy, which in turn determines the level of risk implicit in each product.

¿What is a Trust ?: The trust is a legal act, of trust, in which a person gives to another the ownership of some assets for the latter to administer for the benefit of a third party.

Definition of Trust: The trust contract is defined as the Legal business by virtue of which a person called a trustee transfers to another person named – trustee – as trust, one or more assets (which form the trust estate) for that at the expiration of a term or the fulfillment of a condition, it transmits the purpose or the result established by the former, in its favor or in favor of a third party called beneficiary or trustee.

What are an asset, liability and equity: Asset, liability and equity are the components of the balance sheet. Definition is these basic elements of accounting.

Active:

In accounting, the total resources available to the company to carry out its operations are named; Represents all assets and rights that are owned by the business.

Passive:

In accounting, the total debts and obligations contracted by the company, or business charge, are referred to as such.

Equity: (Stockholders’ equity)

This expression is used in accounting to refer to the sum of the contributions of the owners modified by the operating results of the company; It is the capital stock plus profits or less losses.

 

Intervening parties

Four parties are identified within the trust agreement:

A.- Trustee or trustor: It is who constitutes the trust, transferring ownership of the property or assets to the trustee. to fulfill the specific purpose of the trust.

B.- Fiduciary: In general, anyone can be. Therefore they can be natural or legal persons, public or private, national or foreign. etc. However, in the case of the financial trust, only financial entities subject to the respective law or legal entities expressly authorized for that purpose may offer their services as fiduciaries.

C.- Beneficiary: It is the one in whose favor the administration of the trust assets is exercised. It can be a natural or legal person that may not exist at the time of the contract or testament, as long as the data that allow its future individualization are recorded. More than one beneficiary and substitute beneficiaries may be appointed. If the beneficiary does not exist, does not accept, or waives, the beneficiary will be the trustee and failing that it will be the trustee.

D.- Trustee: It is he who receives the trust property once the trust is extinguished for compliance with the term or condition.

 

Advantages

Depending on the type of trust and the agreed clauses, certain advantages are obtained, then some that usually apply to all or most of the trust contracts:

  • Managed assets are unattachable.
  • Accounting and independent audits.
  • Tax benefits.
  • It can be used for the realization of unlimited purposes, as long as they are lawful.

 

There are four factors that explain the development of the trust:

1.- Commercial approach of the figure of the Trust: A figure that in its conceptual foundations is presented as a legal contract, transcends this discipline to become a commercial business and especially a banking business due to the importance that banks have granted to it as a business generating source. This means that the Trust has been put at the service of bank customers so that they can conduct new business using the advantages and versatility it offers.

2.- Purpose to be fulfilled: The second factor is that every trust necessarily implies an objective, that is, that every trust is made for something and for something. In a world where so many things start and not all of them come to an end, to believe that a business that has been proposed is carried out in the most faithful manner as it has been entrusted to a fiduciary, is a guarantee that instead of limit the possibilities of its development, it stimulates it and gives it a renewal impulse.

3.- Autonomous patrimony: The formation of an autonomous patrimony or of affectation constitutes one of the most outstanding elements of the trust, which allows that the resources put in trust are not confused accounting or juridically with those of the fiduciary itself, nor even with other resources trusts that he might have under his administration. The establishment of as many autonomous assets as trusts managed by a fiduciary, breaks with the classic principle of civil law referring to “one person, an estate” and gives the possibility that multiple businesses can be carried out with them.

4.- Elasticity of the figure: Finally, the enormous flexibility presented by the trust figure allows multiple businesses to be carried out according to the needs of the clients.
