SP Aktif is about combining a certain business philosophy with a uniquely skilled team and investment capital to build wealth for its shareholders over the long term.

SP Aktif’s business philosophy centers around the following concepts:

• "Creating value": SP Aktif creates value by investing in under-valued assets, giving a new lease of life to tired businesses or changing outdated structures of whole sectors;

• "Building businesses": laying the bricks one by one, patiently, avoiding the quick fix, allowing for change of plan when necessary;

• "Sustainable investment": Building businesses that can stand the test of time, not necessarily following the latest 'fad'.

• "Active investment": This is what differentiates SP Aktif's investment style from many others - readiness and capability to influence and intervene at the management level.

• "Partnerships": Partnering with entrepreneurs and co-investors with whom we create long-term relationships benefiting all.

• "Long term investment": a preparedness to stick out the inevitable ups and downs of a business’s development cycles for long-term success.

SP Aktif’s unique skills base is reflected among its individual directors and shareholders who include individuals who have achieved success such as:

• CEO’s, executive directors and board members of successful companies of household name status in South Africa such as Sanlam, Pepkor, Avis and Teljoy;

• Transaction professionals who have concluded significant transactions in several industries, inclusive of landmark BEE transactions;

• Advisors and line executives who have consistently delivered effective business transformation and performance improvement at prominent businesses.
