Ecsponent Financial Services Information

We are an African financial services group, diversified by our operational footprint and the spread of industries in which we invest. The group’s focus is on quality investments in niche industries with innovative value propositions that have high barriers to entry. Operationally, the Ecsponent group creates wealth by investing in companies that offer a range of niche financial services in South Africa and Africa, offering targeted investment services, credit solutions and enterprise development initiatives that improve financial inclusion for SMEs. We balance the short-term cash generative operational activities through our Equity Holdings business unit, which invests in listed and private equity with a longer-term investment horizon. Since inception, we have expanded through a combination of substantial organic growth and a series of strategic acquisitions. Today, we’re an African financial services group with core activities in four African countries and a spread of investments across multiple territories, currencies and investment sectors. Our investment mix and experienced management team have built a strong track record through organic growth, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate actions since 2010.
