INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES

Long-term capital, invested alongside GIG

GIG works with a select group of family offices, private investment companies and principals seeking direct exposure to private-market opportunities across Greater Southern Africa. We provide access to selected private equity, credit, infrastructure and real estate investments originated and structured through GIG's investment platform.

We do not provide discretionary wealth management, portfolio management or family-office services. Our relationship with families is investment-led and principal-to-principal. GIG evaluates opportunities, commits its own capital where appropriate and, for selected transactions, invites aligned families and principals to participate alongside us. Our current focus is on small and mid-market businesses, infrastructure projects and real estate opportunities, with transaction sizes ranging from approximately US$1 million to US$5 billion. We seek investments with credible counterparties, sound underlying economics, appropriate risk allocation and identifiable sources of long-term value.

ALIGNMENT OF HORIZONS

Family offices can invest with a longer time horizon than conventional institutional capital. GIG is being built with the same perspective.

This alignment allows us to consider investments beyond a conventional fund cycle while maintaining the underwriting discipline required for institutional-quality investing. We do not view patience as a substitute for investment discipline. We use it to give fundamentally sound businesses and assets sufficient time to develop, compound and realise their potential. Our objective is to build relationships with families whose investment horizons allow them to participate in opportunities where value creation may extend across multiple economic and investment cycles.

A PRINCIPAL-LED APPROACH

GIG approaches each investment from the perspective of a principal investor. We evaluate the underlying business or asset, determine the appropriate structure and assess the risks before considering participation by external investors.

Where an opportunity is suitable for co-investment, GIG may commit its own balance sheet alongside selected family offices and principals. The investment is presented with its structure, economics, risks and assumptions clearly defined, allowing each investor to make an independent investment decision.

We do not seek to maximise the number of opportunities available to our network. We seek to build a portfolio of investments that can support durable long-term returns and a strong institutional track record.

OUR INVESTMENT DISCIPLINE

Every investment is evaluated through GIG's investment platform. Artelligence, our proprietary intelligence and underwriting platform, supports analysis across company fundamentals, credit risk, asset value, market conditions, capital structure and transaction risk.

Our discipline is consistent across asset classes.

Capital Preservation. We structure investments with particular attention to downside protection, appropriate seniority, security, leverage and liquidity. In private equity, this includes disciplined entry valuations and clearly identified value-creation opportunities. In credit, we focus on repayment sources, collateral and covenant protection. In infrastructure, we assess contractual strength, counterparties, construction risk and revenue resilience. In real estate, we consider asset value, income durability, leverage and development risk.

Long-Term Value Creation. We seek returns that are supported by the performance of the underlying business or asset rather than reliance on financial engineering or market timing. This may involve operational improvement and expansion in private equity, productive investment in infrastructure, income generation in real estate or disciplined deployment and repayment in credit.

Risk Management. We evaluate each investment against the market, regulatory, currency, sovereign and operating risks relevant to the jurisdiction and asset. Artelligence supports scenario analysis and stress testing so that investment decisions are based on a range of potential outcomes rather than a single forecast.

CURRENT INVESTMENT FOCUS

Private Equity. We invest in control and significant minority positions in small and mid-market companies with defensible market positions, capable management teams and identifiable opportunities for growth and operational improvement.

Credit. We provide senior and structured capital to established businesses, infrastructure sponsors and asset-backed opportunities. We focus on identifiable repayment sources, appropriate security and attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Infrastructure. We invest in and finance energy, transportation, telecommunications and other essential infrastructure where durable demand, strong counterparties and resilient cash flows can support long-term value.

Real Estate. We invest in commercial, industrial, logistics, digital infrastructure and healthcare real estate where structural demand, tangible asset value and durable income provide a clear basis for investment.

SELECTIVITY

GIG's family-office relationships are selective by design. We look for families and principals who share an interest in direct investment, disciplined underwriting and long-term capital allocation.

The same selectivity applies to investments. We consider the quality of the counterparty, underlying economics, valuation, structure, capital requirements, downside protection and potential for long-term value creation before presenting an opportunity for co-investment. Our current geographic focus is Greater Southern Africa, with selective opportunities elsewhere in Africa where GIG has the relationships, expertise and investment capability to underwrite effectively.

BUILDING THE RELATIONSHIP

GIG is building a permanent investment platform across private equity, credit, infrastructure and real estate. As the platform develops, we expect the scale and range of opportunities available to aligned family offices and principals to expand.

For families, the relationship provides access to selected investments originated by GIG and evaluated through our own investment process. For GIG, it provides the opportunity to build long-term relationships with investors whose capital can operate across economic cycles and alongside the development of the platform itself. We believe the strongest relationships are built around shared economics, clear responsibilities and a common investment horizon.

We invest alongside families who share our long-term approach to capital.
