Sesfikile BCI Property Fund Tier 1 Tier 1


We have reviewed the rating on the Sesfikile BCI Property Fund and decided to retain the Tier 1 rating.

 

The Royal Investment Managers deal (RIM bought 25% stake in the business, see our note on the deal here) concluded in 2016 appears to be paying off for Sesfikile, with the minority shareholder providing significant business & operational support. One of our concerns before was around the operational capacity of the business, so we see the added support as a positive for the growing business. Sesfikile will also be expanding the team, with a new analyst starting in February 2018 and another expected hire later in the year.
