Our core strategy is acquiring significant but non-controlling stakes in investee companies with a minimum Enterprise Valuation of R250 million.
We look for companies with a strong management team with who we can partner to deliver tangible results within a shared framework of long-term growth.
We aim to enhance top line growth in investee companies by leveraging off our existing investments using a portfolio approach to drive returns.
Our investment focus is on quality cash generative businesses who are niche players in their respective market segments.
Typically, we utilize gearing in our transactions to maximize the use of capital and generate above market returns.
Being 100% black managed and owned, we additionally contribute to the BEE scorecard of our investee companies.
Through our existing portfolio, we have direct investments in Sub Saharan Africa.
This includes primary and secondary schooling in Kenya, tile manufacturing facilities in Tanzania, Zambia and Kenya, as well as cross continent freight forwarding and clearing capabilities.
Typically, we invest with South African trade players or investee companies to provide capital and the necessary expertise to scale and unlock growth within the context of the local market.
We continue to have a keen interest in expanding our investment portfolio footprint with a specific focus on stable high growth countries in East and West Africa.
