Ethos Private Equity Africa (Pty) Ltd

Compiled from public sources

Ethos Private Equity Africa (Pty) Ltd is a Johannesburg-based alternative asset manager focused on buyout and growth equity transactions in Southern Africa and, selectively, across the broader sub-Saharan African market. Domiciled in South Africa, the firm was founded in 1984 and pioneered the local private equity industry by executing the country's first institutional management buyouts. The firm built a long-term investment strategy around securing controlling or significant minority equity stakes in mid- to large-cap market leaders, providing operational value-add, corporate governance enhancements, and geographic diversification. On 3 April 2023, the global emerging-markets asset manager The Rohatyn Group (TRG) finalised the acquisition of Ethos Private Equity, integrating its personnel, fund structures, and underlying platforms into TRG's international operational framework.
