Nedbank CIB Private Equity

Nedbank CIB Private Equity is a division of Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking, focusing on private equity investments in mid-market unlisted companies. The firm invests equity capital in acquisitions, buyouts, and the expansion of these companies, operating similarly to an independent private equity fund manager but utilizing Nedbank Group's balance sheet. This structure allows for flexibility without the typical investment and disposal time horizon pressures. The investment strategy emphasizes a strong partnership philosophy, adhering to high moral and ethical standards, and a concerted focus on environmental, social, and governance issues. The firm seeks to acquire significant minority shareholdings in attractive growth companies and collaborates closely with management teams to support strategic growth initiatives. Leveraging extensive resources and support from across the Nedbank Group, Nedbank CIB Private Equity adds value to its investee companies. In 2025, Nedbank CIB Private Equity extended its sustainable finance offering to Senegal by providing a €19.4 million sustainability-linked development and term loan to Kasada, an independent real estate private equity platform dedicated to the hospitality sector in Africa. This investment underscores the firm's commitment to supporting sustainable development and growth in the African hospitality industry.
