Our investment approach is disciplined, pragmatic and repeatable and we are careful stewards of our clients’ capital. We believe rigorous fundamental analysis, proprietary research and robust risk management are core to an enduring investment approach.
Based in Cape Town, South Africa, we are global investors who utilise our unique emerging markets perspectives to seek out opportunities across all asset classes and markets.
Perpetua is 85% owner-managed. Investment Managers Group, a subsidiary of JSE-listed Rand Merchant Investment Holdings Limited, owns 15% of Perpetua Investment Managers.
