About
African Rainbow Capital (ARC) is a fully black owned and controlled investment company focusing on the South African and African financial services industry and businesses that deliver exceptional returns on equity. Ubuntu-Botho Investments was created in 2004 with its initial main purpose building black controlled capital through being Sanlam's empowerment partner. In addition the vision of Ubuntu-Botho Investments from the outset was to make a difference in the lives of ordinary South Africans by being the premier black-owned and controlled financial services entity. The first phase of realising this vision was the accumulation of capital in partnership with Sanlam. This objective has now largely been achieved, with Ubuntu-Botho Investments holding about 14.5% of Sanlam's issued shares and being valued at about R17bn at present.
