The knock from Transaction Capital is nothing more than a blip in a well-structured and strategically positioned portfolio
I worked in the early 2000s with Peter Armitage, an analyst I rate highly.
I use this parable to aptly describe the market’s current irrationality on mid-cap investment holding company Sabvest Capital. The stock has an enviable long-term track record of returns. Simplistically, Sabvest is the family wealth office of businessman Christopher Seabrooke. Private investors can therefore co-invest via JSE-listed Sabvest into the connections, intuition and deal flow of a well-regarded, seasoned investor.
Much of this, I believe, is tied to its minor 5-million shareholding in Transaction Capital. That stake, as at the 2022 financial year-end, was worth R165.5m. At the time of writing, its value was R62.6m as TCP shocked the market in mid-March with an announcement about problems at its SA Taxi division.
The fastest-growing asset is Apex Partners, whose industrial portfolio is powering ahead, with its valuation rocketing 442% since 2019
