Frequently asked questions
How is New GX Capital structured across its investment activities?
New GX Capital operates through four core platforms: Clean Tech (via Airnergize Capital), Digital Infrastructure (via Green Climate Ventures), Private Equity (via New GX Ventures SA in collaboration with RMB Ventures), and a Venture Capital platform. A fifth entity, the HM Pitje Foundation, is integrated across all platforms to drive community social investment and serve as a Black Economic Empowerment Partner.
Does New GX Capital raise external funds or invest proprietary capital?
The firm describes itself as an investment holding company rather than a traditional fund manager. It builds platforms directly and invites third-party investors to participate through structures like the HM Pitje Foundation. The specific balance of proprietary versus external capital has not been publicly disclosed.
What is the relationship between New GX Capital and the HM Pitje Foundation?
The HM Pitje Foundation is the community social investment arm embedded across all four of New GX Capital's platforms. It acts as a Black Economic Empowerment Partner and provides a structured pathway for long-term impact, aligning business growth with community development. Third-party investors are invited to co-invest through the Foundation.
Which sectors does New GX Capital explicitly target?
The firm targets clean technology (clean energy, gas, water infrastructure), digital infrastructure (fibre networks, towers, data centres), and traditional private equity sectors including technology, data analytics, supply chain, and logistics. The venture capital platform also supports early-stage businesses with disruptive value propositions.
How does New GX Capital approach private equity holding periods?
For its Private Equity platform (New GX Ventures SA), the firm states it holds portfolio companies for a period not longer than seven years. This suggests a defined exit horizon within its traditional PE operations, distinct from the longer-term infrastructure holdings under the Clean Tech and Digital Infrastructure platforms.
