Profile

Ethos Private Equity is a prominent South African alternative investment firm that specializes in private equity and credit strategies. Established in 1984, Ethos has a strong track record with over 150 investments, primarily targeting small- to mid-sized companies in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. The firm actively manages private equity funds and credit investment strategies, leveraging its market knowledge and operational expertise to enhance value and deliver returns for its investors.
