Venture capital fund

Within our diversified group of companies we manage a localised Venture Capital Fund. Our fund mandate and focus remains in the development of the SMME sector within South Africa

Innovation and entrepreneurship are the seeds to an emergent economy. New businesses, however, are often perceived as high risk and cost-intensive ventures. Access to capital remains a challenge to start ups. Venture capital, therefore, allows startups to get off the ground and founders to fulfill their long term vision and aspirations whilst simultenously acting as drivers to a nations economy.

Our investments are primarily focused in the following sectors;

  • Mining
  • Renewable Energy
  • Education

We are also amenable to engage in respect of other sectors that will best serve in the up-skilling of our people and contributing to our country’s economic growth.

Our objective remains :

  • To work collaboratively to build strong, authentic symbiotic relationships with all stakeholders and partners.
  • To help clients reach their long-term financial goals through sound investments strategies 
  • To provide purpose-aligned capital to mobilise small to medium enterprises towards long-term sustainable growth.

Our core focus remain the ability to target Sovereign Wealth Funds on the continent more especially Pension Funds.

We seek through our partner to attain the following key objective to our African Pension Funds through international exposure namely;

Capital Preservation

  • Persistent high inflation erodes the real value of pension savings, resulting in pensioners being out of pocket at the time when the pension will be paid
  • The Pension Funds need to invest in assets that help to preserve their value of the fund over time.

     

Diversification Benefits

  • We understand that currently, the assets of Pension funds are mainly invested in assets in local markets.
  • This means that the pension funds are missing out on the opportunity to diversify away some of their risks from the local market exposure as a result of the low (or negative) correlation of the local market with the global markets.

Higher Returns

  • Besides the opportunity to bring diversification of the exposure of the fund, an overseas.
  • allocation will also bring the opportunity for the fund to earn higher returns
