Our Standing

The lion is the “King of the jungle”, and part of Africa’s big five. The lion is a symbol of strength, courage, fearlessness, and leadership. Lions are communal, loyal, territorial and passionate. The pride is important to teamwork, community and a sense of belonging. Being part of the pride offers protection, nurturing for the young, hunting together, and provides a protective family unit. Pride in being South African and African, pride in pursuing the national agenda and pride in contributing to the economic renaissance of Africa.

Impact Investing

The LionPride Investment Holdings main focus is on Impact Investing. This offers diverse and viable opportunities for investors to advance social and environmental solutions through investments that also produce financial returns.



We will invest with a purpose and cover some of the key SDGs. We aim at investing in companies that can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations as a framework for our IMPACT investing approach. Our goal is not to focus on only one or two themes, but to seek out sustainable investing across the board to maximize triple bottom line returns (planet, people, and profit).

Impact investments come in many different forms of capital and investment vehicles. Like any other type of investment class, impact investments provide investors with a range of possibilities when it comes to returns. But the most important thing is that these investments offer both a financial return and are in line with the investor's conscience.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals

LionPride will work with its partners and associates across Africa to ensure the investment areas above are aligned with the UN SDG.  This will also form the basis of measurement on the funds impact on the lives of millions of fellow Africans and on the planet.

Gender Equality

We will seek to support women led businesses and to campaign for gender equality in the companies we invest in. 

Quality Education

We will look to invest in remote learning opportunities that will focus on early childhood development and the sciences in teen and adult years. We will invest in companies that will provide some local support for education initiatives of their employees and their dependents.

Good Health and Wellbeing

Investment in healthcare and remote healthcare which cover acute and chronic care/support, delivery of medicines, virtual doctor consultations and support of village clinics is the key for providing coverage of vast geographies. The fund will be careful to invest in companies that provide some sort of basic health care to employees and their families.

Affordable and Clean Energy

We believe that renewable energy is one key way of achieving supply of power as a basic human right for Africans. The continent has bountiful supply of sunlight, hence solar projects and supply to local and remote communities will be the key projects we will be looking at investing in.

Decent Work and Economic Growth

In considering of investing in companies we will abide by acceptable international standards of labour practices, even if that may exceed the local government requirements. This will always be viewed within the commercial viability of the investment.
