Stellar Capital Partners Ltd

Detailed Description

Stellar Capital Partners Limited is no longer investing. It is a principal investment firm specializing in investments in a portfolio of equity, debt and hybrid securities, in listed and unlisted businesses, unconstrained by any particular market or sector. The firm also seeks to invest in growth and early-maturity stage businesses in which management teams remain equity incentivised throughout the investment life cycle. It prefers to invest in financial services, technology sector, industrials and support services, financials and disruptive opportunities across all markets. The firm seeks to invest in companies based in South Africa with focused international operations with the ability to over time invest in foreign based investments also. It prefers to take strategic or controlling interests in its portfolio companies, establishing primarily large minority equity holdings, but retain the ability to hold majority holdings, particularly during the initial stage of the investment. The firm seeks board representation within its investees' reporting structures without establishing board control for prolonged periods of the investment cycle. The firm prefers not to retain operational management of its investees for prolonged periods, but will hold the ability do so during the initial stage of the investment or as is deemed necessary. The firm seeks to opportunistically utilise its balance sheet to generate fees for shareholders through corporate finance strategies in support of investee companies or on a standalone basis. It was formerly known as ConvergeNet Holdings Limited. Stellar Capital Partners Limited was founded in 2005 and is based in Cape Town, South Africa with an additional office in Centurion, South Africa.
