STJ Partners!

STJ  Partners  is  a  partnership  between  Financial  Services  Specialist  Basil  Mandil,   Creative   Network   Builder   Victoria   Kay   and   Business  Leader  Jacques  Steffens.    

 STJ  Partners  aims  to  actively  contribute  to  the  continued  delivery  and   acceleration   of   sustainable   economic   growth   in   Africa.   Our  vision  is  to  present  and  to  further  develop  the  potential  of  Africa  as   a   viable   and   attractive   investment   destination;   to   elevate   the  status   of   the   African   mid-­‐market   in   the   perception   of   investors,  media   and   the   general   public;   and   to   concurrently   contribute   to  the  growth  and  empowerment  of  the  middle  class  on  the  African  continent.    

 Our   belief   lies   in   the   strength   of   partnerships,   in   a   creative,  solution-­‐oriented   approach   to   relationship   building   and   in   the  creation  of  a  bespoke  portfolio  of  business  opportunities  for  our  investors.

STJ Partners: Our Vision & Mission!

STJ  Partners  is  a  small,  specialised  firm  focused  on  driving  profitable  investments  in  African  Small-­‐  and  Medium-­‐Sized  Enterprises  (SMEs).  

 We:    •  Identify  opportunities  which  have  the  

potential  to  deliver  sustainable  returns  for  investors.  

•  Source  these  opportunities  from  a  wide  range  of  geographies  and  industrial  sectors  across  Africa.  

•  Provide  initial  due-­‐diligence  of  the  quality  of  these  opportunities  through  our  internal  expertise  and  use  of  our  extensive  third  party  professional  network.  

•  Provide,  where  appropriate,  tailored  post-­‐acquisition  management  services.  

 

 

To  this  end  we  are:    •  Continually  identifying  and  looking  to  engage  

qualified  investors.  •  Actively  extending  our  existing  pipeline  of  

SME-­‐based  projects.    We  are  ideally  positioned  to  deliver  these  opportunities  through:  

•  Applying  our  knowledge  of  African  markets.  •  Engaging  our  extensive  on-­‐the-­‐ground  

network.  

•  Our  ability  to  identify,  facilitate  and  build  the  right  relationships.  

•  Our  specifc  blend  of  financial  and  industry  experience.

•  The  African  Economy,  worth  US$  1.8  trillion  today,  is  growing  faster  than  the  global  economy.  

–  African  Growth  stood  at  +4%  in  2013  versus  +3%  globally  (Africa  Economic  Outlook,  2014).  

•  Capital  is  returning  to  the  continent  (BCG  Survey,  2014).  •  Political  stability  and  governance  have  in  general  improved  dramatically  (BCG  Survey,  2014).

The  current  and  future  growth  of  Africa’s  private  sector  can  be  attributed  to  three  driving  factors:    Demographics  •  Forecasted  to  have  a  population  of  2.4bn.  by  2050,  up  from  1.1bn  today  (The  Economist/UNICEF,  August  2014).    •  A  young  population  with  an  average  age  of  20,  versus  32  in  the  BRICS  countries  and  40  in  Europe.  •  The  middle   class   represents  one   third  of   the  population  and   is  growing   faster   than  anywhere  else   in   the  world   (DNATA  

Survey,  2013).    Labour  &  Education  •  The  improved  and  improving  educational  infrastructure  is  supplying  Africa  with  a  youthful  and  better-­‐educated  workforce  

(BCG,  January  2014).  •  Within  30  years  Africa  will  have  a  larger  workforce  than  China  (Director  Magazine,  May  2014).  •  Manufacturing  plants  have  already  been  relocated  from  China  to  Africa  (e.g.  Ethiopia  &  Senegal.  WSJ,  May  2014).    Technology  •  On-­‐going  improvements  in  physical  and  digital  infrastructure  are  easing  the  challenges  of  doing  business  and  are  helping  to  

modernize  national  economies.  •  For  example,  In  Kenya,  the  total  value  of  transactions  made  by  mobile  phone  in  2013  was  around  $24  billion,  more  than  half  

the  country’s  GDP  (The  Economist,  September  2014).

Collectively,   these  developments  have  helped   create   an   emerging   class  of  African   consumers  with  more  discretionary   income   to   spend   relative   to   other   geographies.   In   addition,   it   is   estimated   that   consumer  spending  will  triple  by  2030  (DNATA  Survey,  2013).    

Most   economies   and   sectors   on   the   continent   are   poised   to   take   full   advantage   of   these   significant  changes.

1.1: Assessing Africa’s Competitiveness in an International Context

18 | The Africa Competitiveness Report 2013

Box 1: Evolution of key emergent competitive industries and jobs in Africa

A number of emergent sectors of African economies show ample growth potential, as indicated by the widespread growth across various sectors in 2002–07. Figure A shows that the resource sector has been the main driver of economic growth in these years. This is followed closely by the wholesale and retail sector, which is projected to generate

revenues of more than US$1,380 billion by 2020, effectively overtaking the resource sector (Figure B).

Thus, Africa’s consumer sector presents a major opportunity for growth. Other labor-intensive sectors, such as agri-business and infrastructure, are also projected to offer opportunities for further growth and employment creation.

•  Resources,  despite  being  of  primary  importance,  are  no  longer  the  main  driver  of  African  economies.  •  Successful  African  economies  are  supported  by  significant  and  accelerating  growth  in  other  sectors  such  

as  FMCG,  ICT  and  Agriculture.  •  Significant  presence  and  growth  of  the  consuming  class  across  the  continent.

WHY AFRICAN SMEs?!

Strong   economic   development   is   driving   rapid  growth  of  the  Middle  Class.    

This   in   turn   is   leading  to  a  surge   in  the  creation  of  new   African   start-­‐ups   and   the   rapid   growth   of  existing,  well  established  SMEs.  Both  are  uniquely  positioned   to   exploit   the   significant   growth  opportunities  in  coming  years.  

 STJ   Partners   focuses   on   established   SMEs.   These  companies  offer  a  range  of  attractive  attributes  for  potential  investors/partners  including:  

•  Smart,  innovative,  and  aggressive.  

•  In   possession   of   protected   intellectual  property.  

•  Unmatched  local  market  knowledge.  

•  First-­‐mover  advantage  in  a  growing  market.  

•  Proven   business  models   capable   of   and   ready  for  expansion.  

These   companies,   despite   significant   and   ongoing  improvements,  still  face  some  local  challenges  that  in  turn  present  investors  with  a  real  opportunity:  

 

•  Access  To  Capital:  African  SMEs  are  too  often  not   adequately   serviced   by   local   investment  channe ls ,   inc lud ing   investment   and  commercial  banks.  

•  Human   Resources:   Limitations   of   training,  professional   management   availability   and  financing   means   that   senior   teams   may   have  limited  experience  and  require  support.  

•  Governance:  Policies  in  many  countries  are  still  catching   up   with   the   new   and   accelerating  economic   growth.   The   private   sector   in  genera l   and   SMEs   in   part icu lar   are  instrumental  in  driving  policy  development.    

 

There  are  thousands  of  investment  opportunities  in  Africa  –  the  challenge  for  any  investor  is  

identifying  the  right  ones.

Page 9: STJ Presentation June 2015 long lr (2)

Africa,  its  markets,  industry  sectors  and  SME  landscape  are  vast  and  diverse.  It  is  essential  for  any  investor  to   be   able   to   identify   economies,   industries   and   sectors   that   present   the   best   risk-­‐adjusted   growth  prospects  for  them.  

STJ  is  uniquely  positioned  to  help  investors  identify  these  prospects.  We  identify  premium  opportunities  and  offer  bespoke  solutions  for  investors.  We  know  where  to  go,  what  to  do;  we  help  you  achieve  your  goals.
