Infrastructure

We are one of the largest investors in infrastructure in South Africa, managing over R10 billion of infrastructural assets on behalf of Old Mutual and third party investors. The team specialises in originating, structuring, developing and executing infrastructure investment transactions and managing the asset thereafter.

The social imperative in the South African context is the upliftment of the broader community through economic development. This necessitates direct fixed investment in the economic drivers of an economy. Infrastructure provides the enabling platform on which all other economic activity can be based. For example, in tangible terms, our investments in South African world-class toll road infrastructure are vital for both imports and exports of manufactured goods. Similarly our investment in Southern African rail assets enables commodities to be railed to port. Major investments include:

• Transport infrastructure (N3 Toll Concession, Bakwena Platinum Corridor; Trans African Concession, Lekki, New Limpopo Bridge);
• Social Infrastructure (Bloemfontein Correctional Contracts, DTI Campus, DoE Campus);
• Power and Gas (Kelvin Power Station, Matola Gas Pipeline);
• Renewable Energy (Umoya Wind Farm);
• Housing (Afhco);and
• Township and Rural Retail (Gugulethu Square Shopping Centre, Bushbuck Ridge Shopping Centre, Setsing Crescent and Plaza in Phutaditjhaba).

The core of our team has over 85 years of combined investment experience and an impressive depth and breadth of skills.
