Specialised agricultural and tourism investment strategies are not a common feature in most private equity funds; this offers Sampada a unique opportunity for early domination and realisation of significant margins and returns for our investors.
While endless opportunities present themselves, our investments are guided by a disciplined investment philosophy and process.
Investment Approach
As long-term investors, we prudently search, identify, invest, add value, create wealth and realise investment returns through well defined strategies.
We focus on investment opportunities offering improvement in quality of life in areas we invest in, creation of wealth and long-term sustainable value for our investors.
We only invest in opportunities that we clearly understand; those which have the highest probability of wealth creation and to which we can add the greatest value for our investors.
Our Retail Properties and Related Infrastructure Investment Focus
We invest in retail properties situated in areas across Southern Africa that have a high potential of success; these areas are generally underserved and underdeveloped or are niche urban locations;
We focus on properties and related infrastructural developments aimed at improving and supporting good quality of life, creating employment opportunities and promoting small to medium sized enterprises in underdeveloped communities.
We invest in the development of properties dominated by retail spaces occupied by growing and profitable large, medium and small sized retailers; and all our investments are supported by through investment cases and comprehensive due diligence exercise.

High impact private equity
Social issues brought by adverse economic conditions have divided our country into two categories the haves and the have-nots. The former is relatively prosperous and has ready access to a developed economy, health, safety, education and most importantly, access to capital. The latter, and larger demographic of South Africa is black, poor and lives under conditions of extreme social and economic vulnerability.
Do we care enough about the socially and economically vulnerable majority to make a focused effort to allow them to change their conditions more rapidly than possible if they solely depend on public funds? Sampada does!Legacy issues present not only an opportunity to play a meaningful role in uplifting society but an opportunity to make a significant return on investment.
