African Pioneer Group
Investment Structure
The African Pioneer Group has a diverse portfolio of passive and active investments.
Passive investments include businesses where the Group holds shares without operational contribution, such as Coca Cola Beverages South Africa and Woodlands Dairy. These companies have:
- Clearly defined vision for its future.
- Strong capital base and market position.
- Reliable and capable management.
- Profitability and excellent returns.
Active Investments are investments with substantial operating activities where the Group contributes knowledge and expertise to create value in the associated companies. In this, the Group ensures hands-on control of the investments.
One of the African Pioneer Group’s objectives is for management to continually identify investment opportunities, which will add value to the group, through prudent and strategic investment in well-managed businesses, listed or unlisted, which offer capital growth and competitive returns. This is reinforced by the management team continually monitoring the overall market, thereby securing lucrative investment opportunities.
