BOUTIQUE FUND MANAGER

We combine on-the-ground research with extensive local market knowledge to seek investment opportunities. Our skills in share selection, combined with disciplined portfolio construction and risk management processes have delivered superior risk adjusted returns over time.

Above all, we put our clients first.

Laurium Capital manages R50billion in assets with a team of 36 people, based in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Operating since 2008, it is one of the leading boutique investment houses in South Africa. We are large enough to be credible, but small enough to be nimble. Our firm is owner managed (the business is 100% owned by the team) and we eat our own cooking (we are all heavily invested alongside clients). Our philosophy is to do detailed research and analysis on the companies that we invest in. The performance track records of our funds rank highly against our peers as well as against benchmarks like inflation and cash. Environmental, social and governance issues all form an integral part of our decision making processes and we pride ourselves on investing responsibly.

Transformation

We are a Level 1 B-BBEE Contributor in terms of the Financial Sector Charter. Becoming a Level 1 BEE company deepens our transformational role in South Africa, but it doesn’t stop here. We remain committed to making a positive impact across all our ongoing transformation initiatives and further strengthening the diversity and inclusivity within the team.
