Our Company

Rooted in history.
Nurturing growth.

We evolved from a corporate finance advisory practice into an institutional alternative asset manager with in excess of R4 billion in Assets Under Management.

Our Story

Building enduring value across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Nisela Capital initially operated as an advisory firm with added corporate finance related services. This active presence in corporate advisory allowed the firm to gain access to a significant number of high-potential companies requiring recapitalisation, growth capital, or balance-sheet optimization.

Over time, Nisela gradually transformed to include asset management as the firm's core capability. Today, Nisela Fund Managers operates as a Category II Licensed FSP (FSP 43636) and a Level 1 BEE Service Provider, managing segregated institutional alternative asset and discretionary wealth mandates.

Our next phase of evolution involves the formation of a flagship private equity fund, establishing our position as a prominent black-owned financial services company operating across the Sub-Saharan African continent.
