Greenpoint Capital

Greenpoint Capital is a specialist private credit investment management firm that has been providing credit-led capital solutions to Southern African mid-market corporates for over a decade. Their objective is to generate income and consistently high returns while protecting against downside for their investors. They focus on creating sustainable capital structures that give their portfolio companies a stable platform from which to achieve their goals.

The firm manages two private credit investment strategies: direct lending and special situations. The direct lending strategy focuses on investing in debt instruments that fund healthy or growth-related events of mid-market corporates in Southern Africa, such as organic expansion, corporate acquisitions, shareholder reorganisations, or refinancings/dividend recapitalisations. The special situations strategy targets stressed or distressed capital structures, providing credit-led finance solutions to support the financial restructuring of Southern African businesses facing short-term financial challenges.

Greenpoint Capital has a track record of over 12 years, managing more than R3.7 billion in total invested capital across 71 private credit investments with 56 realisations. Their portfolio includes 15 companies across various sectors, demonstrating their commitment to supporting and growing businesses across Southern Africa. The firm's disciplined investment process has been time-tested over 12 years and in over 70 transactions, carefully balancing risk and return to achieve attractive, yield-based, risk-adjusted returns through privately negotiated transactions structured with an emphasis on sustainability and downside protection.
