moving beyond private equity
SAVCA, as the industry representative for private equity and venture capital in Southern Africa, extended its reach even further during the past year. I am pleased that our organisation, which this year celebrates its seventeenth anniversary, now counts 89 private equity fund managers as full members, and has 50 fi rms registered as associate members.
The increasing diversity and scope of the SAVCA membership is refl ected in this 2015 SAVCA Members’ Directory, which lists funds across the spectrum of size, geography, industry and nature of funding provided. The modest but steady rise in the number of SAVCA’s full members over the past year bears out the view that the industry continues to recover, and that more managers are tapping into the institutional funding available for private equity and venture capital in Southern Africa and in neighbouring regions. SAVCA continues to promote this alternative asset class to investors and to expand its reach to potential Limited Partners.

Notable, too, is growth in the number of SAVCA’s associate members, who fulfi l essential advisory functions tothe private equity and venture capital market. Legal, compliance, corporate fi nance, structuring, audit, tax, environmental and other services are represented by associate members listed in this directory. They collectively signify the depth of talent and expertise available to the local industry.
The bringing together of a record number of members into this single publication is symbolic of SAVCA’s role in connecting industry players and providing a unifi ed industry voice.
In fulfi lling its mandate of promoting the private equity and venture capital industry in Southern Africa, building its membership base, covering legal and regulatory developments affecting the industry and producing high-quality research and training for its members, SAVCA over the past year generated numerous networking, information and training sessions for members, key stakeholders and institutional investors.
SAVCA also has published a range of research publications touching on subjects such as the economic impact of private equity, institutional investors’ views on African private equity, remuneration in the local industry, the three-decade history of private equity in South Africa and a compilation of case studies from private equity portfolio companies which demonstrate the positive impact that the industry has on the economy, environment, society and governance.
SAVCA’s representatives have spent hours researching legal and regulatory developments and meeting with senior policymakers and legislators on key matters affecting the industry. SAVCA has communicated with members and stakeholders across a variety of platforms and at regular intervals on industry developments.
This work is underpinned by SAVCA’s board of directors, formally selected by members and representing a diversity of fund managers. These fourteen directors, thirteen of whom are non-executive, commit substantial time to serve the industry with integrity and passion.
We thank all our members and the broader stakeholder community for their support of SAVCA and for their role in cultivating an industry that is a force for good, through active stewardship and positive impact on businesses and economies, and by ensuring sustainable returns for investors.

We are currently investing Ethos Fund VI, with R7,9 billion of committed capital.Our team consists of 24 dedicated investment professionals with over 150 years of combined private equity experience.

Ultimately, we build better businesses. For more information, visit www.ethos.co.za.
Ethos’ investment conviction is grounded in meticulous
analysis, creative insight and practical solutions accumulated
over the months prior to concluding a transaction.
Most importantly, experience has taught us that the pace
of performance is fast-tracked when we have constructive
collaboration with executive teams during this pre-deal phase.
Accordingly, Ethos - together with AutoZone’s management
- tested strategic concepts and initiated plans to accelerate
growth long before we announced our investment into the
business - South Africa’s largest privately-owned aftermarket
auto parts retailer and wholesaler.
Why are we so passionate about disciplined pre-deal analysis?
Because our role is to anticipate and influence the field of play
from the onset.
We achieve this by collectively crafting a high-performance
playbook focusing on execution agility, leadership capacity,
business scalability, sustainability and growth. This thoughtful,
creative and pre-emptive game plan is our differentiator and a
principal reason why business managers choose Ethos when
they aspire to lift their game.
After all, we play to win.

REMARKS: Metier has a track record of outstanding performance in private equity, with team members having concluded over 80 deals and having achieved a greater than 30% annual internal rate of return over the past three decades. It has an active and effective culture and is ideally positioned to partner investors and portfolio companies alike. We believe that private equity requires the deep involvement of experienced managers putting their own skills, energy and capital at risk alongside institutional investors.
The Capital Growth Funds focus on taking substantial equity positions, including control, in medium sized to large companies that have strong management teams, an earnings history and good growth prospects. Investments are targeted in sectors set to benefi t from demographic trends such as population growth and increased urbanisation, and the accompanying consumer spend from the emerging middle class and which are advantageously exposed to the multiplier effects of rising capital spend on infrastructure and increasing intra-regional and international trade.
The Lereko Metier Sustainable practice has garnered traction since its inception with a total of funds under management now approaching R1.5 billion. The primary fund, being Lereko Metier Sustainable Capital (LMSC), targets investment in energy effi ciency, renewables, water and waste management businesses and projects supporting the region’s development objectives and environmental commitments. Primarily with the support of its investors LMSC has created two co-investment vehicles which augment LMSC’s holdings in the assets the fund is committed to.

REMARKS: We focus on small to medium-sized enterprises that make up the “missing middle” market in Africa. Musa believes in an active management approach, which combines fi nancial capital with human capital development, strategic planning, strict governance structures and operational support at the executive level to maximise investment. The fi rm tends to limit its active portfolio base to allow its senior team to become fully engaged in value creation at the operational level, which is facilitated by our controlling positions taken in investments. We have a holistic investment philosophy which emphasizes fi nancial returns to investors, sponsors, stakeholders and the communities in which the portfolio companies operate. This approach has resulted in a net IRR of 20% for the Musa Kingdom Fund (“Fund 1”) and a partially realized 17% IRR in the Musa Kubu Fund (“Fund 2”), which is vintage 2008.
