A Century of Vision, Growth,
and Success in Private Equity Investments

Our roadmap has been marked by several milestones that have shaped our growth and success

In 1920 Messrs Goldschmidt, Gerber and Griesbach began their entrepreneurial trading activities from offices in Cape Town and Berlin. Despite the 1920′s depression and its dramatic aftermath, the business continued to grow with new offices being established in London in 1924, Japan in 1934 and New York in 1937 and survived the traumatic disruption of World War II.

The post-war years saw many expansionary ventures following changing trade patterns including the opening of offices in Zimbabwe, swiftly followed by offices in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Zambia, Netherlands, Switzerland and France and more recently in Korea, China, Canada, Mexico and Chile.

Over time the group became focused on providing trade finance which was sold to Reichmans and the Group then turned its attention to private equity investments.
