For those who think the heart of South Africa does not beat within its women, have not truly lived the African experience. This Women’s Month, alternative investment company, SV Capital, shines a light on the extraordinary resilience of South African women and their journey towards financial independence. Co-founders Ayanda Majola and Kagiso Tloubatla are passionate about making investment opportunities accessible and empowering for women across the nation. Through their innovative approach, they adopt a sense of independence and confidence among women investors.
Bridging the Financial Gender Gap
South African women are the backbone of their households, often juggling multiple roles and budgets with grace and grit. Yet, their participation in long-term investments remains disproportionately low. According to research conducted by the National Treasury of South Africa, while 70% of South African women actively manage household budgets, only 30% are involved in long-term investment decisions.
SV Capital is on a mission to change this. Majola says: “As an advocate for financial freedom for women, I believe that alternative investments can play a pivotal role in guiding women through this process. At SV Capital, we are dedicated to empowering women with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed investment decisions and build a secure financial future for themselves and their families.”
Diversified Investment Solutions
SV Capital offers a variety of alternative investment products designed to resonate with the South African market, here are two of the most ingenious ones:
Cattle Investment Fund
Imagine pooling your resources with others to invest in herds of cattle. Innovative? That’s what SV Capital is all about. It not only reduces individual risk but also maximises returns. The Cattle Investment Fund supports the agricultural sector while providing a steady income stream for investors. “Investments should be a source of empowerment, not stress,” says Majola. “We want women to feel confident and secure in their financial decisions.”
Delivery Bike Investment
This investment taps into the booming delivery service market, funding fleets of bikes rented to drivers on platforms like Mr Delivery and UberEats. It offers competitive returns while supporting an impactful economic sector. “We’re about making a difference, not just making money,” says Majola. “It’s about the long-term value of one’s investment and the positive change it can bring to our country.”
The Concept of Money Resilience
The concept of Money Resilience lies at the heart of SV Capital’s approach. It’s about having the financial strength to bounce back and thrive, no matter what life throws your way. This idea resonates deeply with South African women, who embody resilience in countless ways – from balancing work and family to overcoming socio-economic challenges. “Financial resilience means being able to stand tall and secure, knowing you have the resources to handle any situation,” says Majola.
Real Impact, Real Change
SV Capital’s commitment to financial empowerment is not just theoretical. It has created over 600 jobs through its investment portfolios, directly contributing to South Africa’s socio-economic development. Its investment products generate both financial returns and social value, demonstrating the positive impact of its unique approach.
Empowering Women to Take Charge
Starting an investment journey with SV Capital doesn’t require a hefty sum. With as little as R500, women can begin to grow their wealth. “Investments should be accessible to everyone,” says Tloubatla. “We designed our products to be relatable, ensuring that women from all walks of life can participate and benefit.”
