Umthelela helps Your business become empowered, sustainably
Sustainable EMPOWERMENT
Many untransformed white-owned businesses face business continuity risk if they don’t transform ownership and management.
Our fund provides target companies (typically majority white-owned) with authentic broad-based empowerment facilitating sustainable value creation for all stakeholders involved.
Investing FOR Social impact
Ownership requires capital for an investor to buy into equity. NPOs don’t readily have access to such capital resulting largely in their exclusion from empowerment transactions.
Our fund provides material economic upside for pre-qualified broad-based NPOs, without exposing them to risk.
Transformed fund management
The asset management industry in South Africa remains largely untransformed.
We're a majority black-owned and controlled fund manager, helping to broaden and rebalance the make-up of the South African asset management industry.
