Our Solutions
Investment Mandate
The fund identifies proprietary investment opportunities that align with our Venture Capital and Private Equity criteria in Africa, along with tailored Private Credit prospects within South Africa. We prioritise corporate carve-out opportunities in the secondary market and specialised ventures in the technology sector as primary sources of deal origination.
Additionally, our bespoke midmarket credit facility strategically supports our fund return balance sheet, ensuring consistent financial performance. This allows us to leverage unique market insights while contributing to the growth of innovative businesses across the region.
Venture Capital Strategy & Private Equity
Africa has a growing technology sector, particularly in IT SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), and our fund offers significant investment opportunities. As businesses across various sectors transition to digital platforms, demand for innovative, scalable SaaS solutions is increasing. Management teams require venture capital funding to accelerate product development and market penetration.
A VC-backed portfolio enables VC investments to meet the high capital needed for growth, scaling, and infrastructure, particularly since VC investments typically require more equity capital to grow rapidly. Our Africa portfolio comprises companies with domain-specific management teams whose solutions have an appeal broader than just their home country.
Private Equity Strategy
A key focus of this strategy is capitalising on the many corporates carve-out opportunities within large, listed South African companies. As many corporations seek to streamline operations by divesting non-core business units, we identify and acquire these underutilised assets.
Our approach involves restructuring and repositioning these divisions to unlock their growth potential and we bring additional value through our dedicated Business Development division. This enables us to transform undervalued divisions into competitive, growth-oriented businesses, positioning them for eventual exit into a thriving and robust secondary market – both locally and abroad – and through dedicated private equity disposal channels.
Private Credit Strategy
This pool includes credit-related investments, typically low-risk and focused on providing debt financing rather than equity stakes. These assets may be more stable compared to equity investments. We offer competitively structured credit solutions to promising firms in need of specialised financing to enhance client value, enable business growth, and provide a balance sheet runway for operations. Each transaction is uniquely structured based on the firm's needs and our risk appetite.
Midmarket factoring is preferred as it provides the fund with a collateralised opportunity to diversify lending and deliver immediate and ongoing returns. Collateralised lending only, backed by accessible assets and provable forward load – and debt-to-equity structured agreements upon defaults.
