WELCOME TO FAIRTREE CAPITAL:

Fairtree Capital is an alternative fund management company based in Cape Town, South Africa.  The business is currently focused on managing hedge funds within the South African and other African equity markets.

Fairtree Capital was established on 1 January 2006 resulting from the acquisition by the fund managers of the hedge fund business managing the Fairtree Market Neutral Fund. This fund was started in 2003 and has been recognised as one of the leading hedge funds in South Africa, winning multiple performance awards.

On the back of the successes of the market neutral strategy,  Fairtree Capital has leveraged the investment and risk management skills in the business across other equity strategies and asset classes.  The result is a product portfolio which includes a number of different equity, fixed income and commodity mandates with combined assets, making Fairtree Capital one of the largest hedge fund mangers in South Africa. 

 

Our business is built on three core values: -Integrity, Excellence and Growth.  Each of the sixteen investment professionals employed by Fairtree Capital embrace these core values when performing their responsibilities. 

 

The mission of Fairtree Capital is to deliver high and consistent levels of performance for our investors as we set new standards of excellence in our industry.
