羅哈廷集團表示，它將收購南非Ethos Private Equity，以幫助這家美國投資公司在非洲大陸擴張。2021年5月21日，周四，在南非約翰內斯堡的一家屋頂酒吧，從天際線上俯瞰商業地產、住宅建築和摩天大樓辦公室。交易員們加大了對南非央行今年將收緊政策的押注，此前通脹加速超過預期，導致南非實際利率出現5年多來首次為負。羅哈廷集團(The Rohatyn Group)表示，它將收購南非Ethos私募股權公司，以幫助這家美國投資公司在非洲大陸擴張。Ethos首席執行官斯圖爾特·麥肯齊(Stuart MacKenzie)在接受采訪時說，此次收購將幫助這家總部位於紐約的公司創建一家擁有80億美元資產的公司。由南非大亨克裏斯托·威斯(chrito Wiese)支持的Brait Plc於2019年聘請Ethos來管理其投資組合，包括英國服裝連鎖店New Look和Virgin Active健身房。麥肯錫沒有透露此次收購的財務細節。注冊後，您將收到《金融郵報》每日的頭條新聞。《金融郵報》是Postmedia Network Inc.的一個部門。通過點擊注冊按鈕，您同意從Postmedia Network Inc.接收上述通訊。您可以隨時通過點擊我們電子郵件底部的退訂鏈接來退訂。 Postmedia Network Inc. | 365 Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M4W 3L4 | 416-383-2300 Thanks for signing up!

While there are about $2.5 trillion of public works in the pipeline on the continent, many won’t be completed because of lack of funding among other constraints, according to McKinsey & Co. That’s where companies such as Rohatyn can help. The deal will give New York-based Rohatyn access to one of the fastest growing regions in the world, said Nicolas Rohatyn, who started the business in 2002. Ethos, with offices in South Africa, Kenya and London, will continue to manage Brait’s portfolio. The advisory agreement between Brait and Ethos will be ceded to the Rohatyn group. Buyout firm Ethos also took over the management of Ninety One Plc’s Africa private equity funds in 2020, with assets in North, East and Southern Africa. —With assistance from Janice Kew.
