What We Do

The ethos of private equity

Ethos recently closed fundraising for Ethos Mid Market Fund I at over R2.5bn. This Fund is already over 50% invested and continues to attract significant deal interest.

Our large buyout fund, Ethos Fund VI (one of the largest pools of third-party capital in Africa with c.R8.4bn (US$800 million) in commitments) is now fully invested. We recently began capital raising for Ethos Fund VII, together with our innovative artificial intelligence offering, Ethos Ai Fund I. Both Funds have held their first close.

Our private equity funds specialise in control and joint-control acquisitions and expansion capital, in medium-to-large businesses. To date, Ethos has made 108 investments and exited 96.

Mid Market Buyouts

Ethos Mid Market Fund I
