SAVCA Conference 2021: Day 2 in review:

Session 1: PE Re:imagined, the lasting impact of COVID – case studies:

In the first session of the day, which was moderated by Tanya van Lill, CEO of SAVCA, we looked at
an array of diverse Private Equity (PE) case studies that illustrated some of the ways in which the
industry is operating and had to adapt.

Session 2: Industry trends and SA Inc Panel:

Thereafter, the second platform session of the day kicked off with Cathy Goddard, CEO of FyreFem Fund Managers interviewing David Wilton, CEO of Zhang Partners.
David highlighted that SA used to be highly visible in the PE market as a crucial part of the BRICs five and a desirable destination to do PE in emerging markets. These days it’s no longer viewed as a standalone destination, it’s now seen as one part of the whole African continent.
