Track record proves our value

Metier's leaders have over three decades of managed equity experience as principals across over 90 late stage investments, putting more than R8 billion of equity capital to work across a wide range of industries and through various capitalisation structures.


The table below sets out our investments - taking into account fund vintages and industry sectors. Each of these transactions has a story of its own and our team members are able to give more details in terms of how the deals were sourced, priced, structured, built up, improved and ultimately realised.

Investment partnerships, as with most aspects of life, provide a rich diversity of experience. This is not something that can be captured in a set of numbers. Over the years we have developed a particular Metier style which we bring to transactions. Where capital and risk are shared between investors and entrepreneurial management. Rewards too must strike a balance between fairness and self interest. Because we bridge the divide between institutional investors and entrepreneurs, we are able to do this in a way that stands up to scrutiny and meets good governance principles.
