Empowering black property developers: insights from Reside Conference We're proud to share that Mr Joel Mphela, Acting Divisional Executive of Venture Capital and Corporate Finance at the NEF, recently participated in a dynamic panel discussion at the Reside Summit Conference. The session, focusing on residential property as an investment class, brought together industry leaders to explore international and local case studies. Key points addressed by Mr Mphela include the following: "There's a critical need for commercial banks to increase funding for black residential property developers. This is essential to address the housing shortage in South Africa." "To facilitate meaningful participation, banks could consider reducing equity requirements to 10%-20%, compared to the standard 30%-40%. This adjustment would enable more black emerging developers to access funding, leveraging the solid assets and robust cash flow of residential properties." "At the NEF, financing residential property goes beyond financial returns; it's about transforming value chains. We prioritise procurement from black-owned SMEs and provide market access, fostering growth in the sector. Supporting such developments not only unlocks opportunities for SMEs but also encourages new entrants." "Looking ahead, the NEF aims to collaborate with other funders to expand social housing initiatives. By unlocking opportunities for black individuals and SMEs, we can collectively drive inclusive economic growth." #NEF #PropertyDevelopment #InclusiveGrowth #ResideConference

Really important advice from Vasiliki (Vass) B. and Denise Hearn about how we should think about Rogers owning everything. These are the systemic risks that must be confronted. "These structures challenge the trope of Canada being a handful of companies in a trenchcoat. Perhaps - ahead of retiring the tired cliche altogether - we should start asking about the constellation of assets underneath each company’s cinched trench. This would allow us to be more realistic about how the composition of companies challenges our traditional approaches to competition policy. Right now, enforcers are reliant on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICs), which the Competition Bureau has acknowledged that these “do not align with the usual practices of competition law analysis and enforcement.” These codes classify companies in single industries, but today’s biggest companies often collect assets across industries, becoming everything companies." And: Concentrations of ownership don’t just happen at the company level, but also at the shareholder level. Legal scholar Allan Hutchison has determined that “around 80 per cent of all publicly traded corporations in Canada are controlled by a handful of people; this compares with about 20 per cent in the United States.” https://lnkd.in/g_WnCuce

Our Managing Director, Glenn King, recently spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's impressive progress in 2024. Over the last year, Oakmount & Partners transitioned from raising expansion capital for third parties to building its diverse asset bank. With a current company valuation between £15 and £18 million, we aim to achieve a valuation of 4/5 times this amount over the next 5 years. Glenn discussed our recent acquisition of over £4 million in real estate, which reflects our robust portfolio expansion and is targeted at staycation and holiday letting retreats, traditional buy-to-lets, and commercial property. King highlighted our five-year plan to raise £50 million, primarily for investments in property, green technologies, and transformative industries. We are strategically acquiring distressed properties and considering additional exposure to green technology investments as part of our broader sustainability goals. Additionally, King mentioned the launch of Oakmount's product offerings on an FCA-regulated platform, targeting high-net-worth individuals, IFA's and wealth managers. Under FCA regulation, we are also pursuing expansion into the commercial finance side of the market to become a full-service institution. Our focus remains on maximising shareholder returns and preparing for a potential IPO or private acquisition to create significant returns for our investors, complementing our stable fixed-income offerings.

  Josh McCathie, lead fund manager of the VT Downing Small & Mid-Cap Income Fund, tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion he is optimistic about current market conditions, particularly in the UK. McCathie noted that challenges such as inflation and interest rates are subsiding, potentially shifting to support the market. He highlighted the significant opportunity in the UK's small and mid-cap sectors, citing that the FTSE 250 is trading at a 22% discount compared to its long-term average and at a steep discount relative to the FTSE 100—a scenario seen only twice in the past 20 years, historically followed by strong performance in small and mid-cap stocks. McCathie acknowledged threats from geopolitical tensions but emphasized the greater potential returns in the small and mid-cap space, pointing to expected earnings growth and dividend returns. He differentiated the VT Downing Small & Mid Cap Income Fund by its exclusive... Watch at #Proactive #ProactiveInvestors http://ow.ly/Q4vk105pZeh
