Our Strategy and Objectives: Driven by Long-Term Sustainability

As a well-established and respected investment holding company, our strategy is guided by our vision for the future of the South African market. Subtropico’s investments are highly diversified, yet we keep a strong focus on investing in future-proof industries.

Food is and always will be a fundamental need, and the strong growth of the South African agriculture market reflects this.

In the world of investment, food is widely recognised as one of the biggest areas of opportunity, alongside artificial intelligence (AI) and space.

The outlook for Africa's agricultural sector is also a positive one. This is the type of long-term sustainability that aligns with Subtropico’s investment goals.

Future Prospects: Embracing Growth

As our Group grows in size and complexity, we are aware that we need to develop our management pool. We will need to do this in a way that allows us the time to grow and manage our investment portfolio, which in turn will deliver the sustainable earnings we have become known for.

We are committed to new approaches and new ways of thinking, to address potential problems and find sustainable solutions.

Innovation, collaboration and cooperation are values that will help us to continue the Subtropico Limited legacy of success.

Investing in South Africa’s Future

African Rainbow Capital Investments has acquired 25.1% in Subtropico, an investment that will strengthen our BEE ownership credentials and open the door to exciting opportunities across multiple industries.

We are proud to work with a number of BBBEE-accredited subsidiaries ranging between Level 5 and Level 8.

Our Values and Goals

Innovation and accountability are our core values. We empower our management by giving them the assets to manage and allowing them the freedom and authority to make their own operational decisions. This is a decentralised yet accountable environment.

We pride ourselves on a combination of careful planning, creative lateral thinking and the use of leading-edge technology to guide us towards sound investment decisions.

Our goal is to become the preferred sounding board and capital partner for managers and entrepreneurs who share our passion for innovation and service.
