The fund manager invests with a view to increase the earnings of portfolio companies, and play an active role in the boards of portfolio companies. Beyond strategic advice, business operations will be improved through value enhancing ESG initiatives including Black Economic Empowerment. Based on Medu Capital’s track record, portfolio companies can be expected to make strong contributions to job creation, skill improvement, and provision of economic opportunities to previously disadvantaged South Africans.
