Who we are

Remgro Limited is one of South Africa's most established investment holding companies, with a heritage dating back to its founding by Dr Anton Rupert in 1948. Listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, Remgro has built a reputation for patient capital, disciplined investment and long-term value creation. The company is chaired by Johann Rupert, continuing a legacy of strategic stewardship and entrepreneurial leadership. Remgro invests in reputable businesses that are aligned with its values and purpose, with sound management teams that have the potential to deliver superior earnings, sustainable cash flow generation and dividend growth over the long term.

Our default management philosophy is one of decentralised, empowered partnership with Remgro's commitment of management resources defined by the requirements of the portfolio at any point in time. This means that the investee companies have autonomous boards of directors and management teams, while Remgro adopts an active partnership approach in exerting its influence through its representation on the boards of these companies. As Remgro continues its portfolio optimisation efforts, our management philosophy has become more dynamic, adapting to the requirements of investee companies from time to time.
