Frequently asked questions
What was the structural reason for PSG Group delisting in 2022?
The September 2022 delisting from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange was executed through a transaction the firm says unlocked significant value for its shareholders. The move converted PSG Group into an unlisted investment holding company, now PSG Alpha, freeing it from quarterly reporting requirements and enabling longer-duration capital deployment into early-stage South African businesses.
What investment stages does PSG Alpha target?
PSG Alpha focuses predominantly on early-stage South African businesses with high growth potential. The firm operates across venture and growth equity, building companies alongside management teams rather than functioning as a passive portfolio holder.
Which sectors does PSG Alpha invest in?
The firm's current investments operate across a diverse range of industries which include energy, education, and retirement lifestyle villages. All known portfolio exposures remain concentrated in South Africa.
How large is PSG Alpha's investment portfolio?
The firm reports its investment portfolio is worth more than R6bn. No public AUM or total capital commitments figure has been disclosed, and the firm does not provide a breakdown of the portfolio's composition beyond the R6bn aggregate.
Does PSG Alpha maintain its own philanthropic arm?
PSG Alpha does not make direct donations or provide sponsorships. The firm states that as an investment holding company its income is limited to dividend income from investees, and it instead encourages its portfolio companies to invest in and make a difference in the communities where they operate.
