NCL's unique investment model focuses on positive socio-economic impacts, such as green economy initiatives and financial inclusion, consequently stimulating South Africa's GDP growth and job creation.

"Their exceptional work in enhancing SMEs while achieving predictable investment outcomes for their investors makes NCL an undeniable standout in South Africa's asset management sector," stated Brett Hurll, Executive Editor at GFM Review. "We are honoured to present this award to a firm that not only prioritizes investor returns but also plays an integral part in the economic growth of South Africa."

NCL, now incorporating the expertise of nReach, Capitis Equities, and Laysan, has already invested in over 40 SMEs with ZAR1.6 billion deployed. Their innovative approach incorporates a unique blend of equity-like and debt-like investment instruments, resulting in steady growth even during challenging economic times, such as the Covid-19 pandemic.

"From the outset, our goal has been to support the growth of SMEs in South Africa while ensuring a predictable outcome for our investors," shared Dr. Johann Kritzinger, co-founder and Executive Director of nReach. "Winning this prestigious award acknowledges our team's hard work, dedication, and our unique investment methodology, Contract for Yield (CFYTM), which has been the cornerstone of our successful investment approach."
