Fedgroup

No whining over slow finance.
Fedgroup recently provided property funding to Blaauwklippen Vineyards Estate in Stellenbosch, one of South Africa’s oldest wine estates.

Founded in 1682, Blaauwklippen is now much more than a wine estate. It includes vineyards, hospitality, accommodation, events, a weekend market and residential development.

You can’t always bottle a complex asset into a standard funding model.

When a deal has many moving parts, it needs funding that can move with it.
That is where private capital can help: by offering speed, flexibility and structure around the real value of the asset.

Good wine takes time. Good funding shouldn’t have to.

Let’s be honest: finance can be boring.

Turning 150 000 waste tyres into fuel, eliminating the need for virgin fossil fuels, creating jobs, and building a circular manufacturing ecosystem? That’s not boring at all.

These are the kinds of businesses we’re proud to support through our Private Capital offering.

Did you know pistachio trees can take years before they produce fruit?
And once they do, they can live for up to 100 years.

The Karoo has the right ingredients to help South Africa become part of that global pistachio story.

Fedgroup is supporting this industry growth with flexible, patient finance.
