ISSUE 01 | INFINITE UPDATES
FROM THE DESK OF THE CEO
Forward momentum. Built on experience. Positioned for what comes next.
We are delighted to introduce the refreshed Infinite Partners branding.
This is not a reinvention of who we are. Rather, it is a clearer articulation of how we operate and what our vision for our future entails. Our branding now reflects our momentum. It signals forward movement grounded in discipline and intent. It captures the confidence we have in our Infinite Growth strategy, the progress we have made, and the energy of our team.
Momentum is not a slogan; it is the outcome of alignment. Shared direction across capital and teams unlocks lasting impact. Our refreshed identity makes this principle visible.
Our branding is grounded in the clarity that guides every decision we make. We back differentiated businesses with structural growth tailwinds. We partner with proven and visionary management teams. We seek enduring competitive advantages to support operational scale and expansion. We invest with patience and conviction.
Our refreshed visual identity and messaging also reflect our role in the mid market. It shows that we are deeply experienced South African investors that understand local dynamics. It illustrates how we support founder-led businesses, and that we know what it takes to scale responsibly.
It also reflects progress. In a little over three years as an independent manager, we have built a platform defined by focus and execution. We have raised capital from strong investor partners, deployed into high conviction opportunities, and embedded sustainability into our investment process.
Building our portfolio
Our Core Equity Fund II has surpassed the halfway mark toward its R2.5 billion target, with built-in flexibility to invest up to R500 million per business. The current investments in the fund, e4 (vertical SaaS) and CYNK (digital infrastructure), represent disciplined asset selection true to our strategy, and are both delivering tangible outcomes.
The capital we have raised has supported the management team’s strategy of expanding e4’s client base and the enhancement of its product offering, as well as funding its entry into the United Kingdom. So far, e4 has facilitated more than 157,000 home loan transactions, thus enabling more South Africans to attain their dream of owning their own home.
CYNK operates in digital infrastructure – a sector characterised by high barriers to entry – to support commercial expansion and broader economic inclusivity. Through CYNK, more than 480,000 homes and 225 schools have access to fibre, supporting around 225,000 school-aged children in their education and enabling economic participation for thousands of adults.
Across the portfolio, more than 100 direct jobs have been created. More than 90 percent of these roles are filled by Black South Africans and over 40 percent are filled by women. Approximately 500 indirect roles have also been supported.
Responsible growth in action
Our sustainability approach, which we formalised last year, focuses on creating decent work, developing scalable businesses with longevity, and advancing DEI. These measures are embedded into everything we do.
Looking ahead, we are focused on closing Core Equity Fund II in June. We will continue to deploy capital into high quality businesses with structural growth. We will deepen our partnerships with founders and management teams. We will continue building a culture that attracts and retains exceptional people.
Our refreshed brand is a signal. It communicates discipline and ambition while encapsulating forward momentum grounded in experience.
But, while our branding looks new, our core belief has not changed: when people, capital, and purpose align, momentum follows.
Edward Pitsi,
Co-founder and CEO
We invite you to explore our relaunched website and follow us on LinkedIn, to discover more about how we are shaping South Africa’s evolving private markets.
Growing our team
Momentum is evident in our people as much as in our portfolio and, as our business matures, so too does our team. We have always invested in attracting and capacitating exceptional professionals, and over the last year we welcomed Masechaba Makhura as Senior Associate in our Investment Team, and Amanda Alves as Executive Assistant and Office Manager. Kim West has joined us in Investor Relations as we invest in capability to ensure we meet our investors’ needs.
Our people philosophy is simple: performance thrives when talent is empowered, and collaboration accelerates results. By fostering expertise, deepening skills, and creating a culture of ownership, we ensure that our business continues to evolve from a strong foundation into a high-quality fund manager.
Industry leadership
We are participating in the SAVCA PE Conference 2026, where Titi Sekhukhune will contribute to a timely and important industry debate: the evolving role of private market asset classes in investor portfolios.
The discussion will examine the relative merits and strategic positioning of private equity, private debt, private infrastructure, and other alternative asset classes in today’s environment, from risk-return dynamics to liquidity considerations and long-term capital formation.
Our active participation in forums like SAVCA ensures that we remain connected to the broader market dialogue and remain accountable to the highest standards of our industry. The role that Edward Pitsi fills on the SAVCA board further reinforces our engagement with industry governance and standards, and the continued development of the private equity ecosystem.
The conference is happening on 10 and 11 March. We hope to see you there.
