Magic Markets Ep91: Investing in Solar

Magic Markets2022-08-31T22:50:51+02:00

In the investment equivalent of chasing the sun, we meet the team at Westbrooke responsible for the solar investment strategy. Clearly, this is an asset class that resonates with South Africans who are used to being in the dark. Ryan Rittoff and Saul Maserow are passionate about what they are doing. In typical Westbrooke fashion, the group is investing and gaining real-world experience in this space before opening it up to external investors.

The talented finance professionals at Westbrooke Alternative Asset Management have been doing a wonderful job of educating the Magic Markets audience about asset classes like private debt and venture capital. In the latest show, we welcome Dino Zuccollo and Richard Asherson back to Magic Markets to discuss the concept of “hybrid capital” – a debt-led private equity approach that uses different instruments to achieve a level of return between debt and equity.

Magic Markets Ep76: Private Equity – there’s more to investing

Magic Markets2022-05-18T23:17:35+02:00

On the equity investment spectrum from venture capital at one end to public markets at the other, private equity occupies a vast area in the middle. A successful private equity strategy is a hybrid of those concepts, with venture capital influences like growth and scale and public market influences like strong cash flows and solid assets. Each market is different. In South Africa, the private equity industry is based on relationships and the best deals are done in an elite club. In the UK, the market is far more welcoming to a new entrant and there is a wide network of [...]
