Found in tropical and desert like regions, the “Acacia” is one of the world’s most valuable trees. The tree is often looked upon as a “Tree of Life” due to its ability to tolerate extreme conditions of heat and drought, as its sturdy roots grow deep underground to reach untapped sources of water. The tree also provides some insects and animals with nourishment, while these same insects and animals protect the tree from its predators.

The Acacia Tree embodies the mission of Khumovest – to provide a dedicated service that is sustainable and value adding to our clients and their stakeholders. At Khumovest we believe that the symbiotic relationship between our stakeholders and ourselves is the cornerstone of success. We believe that by providing the same technical ability and professionalism of larger financial institutions but with the dedicated service of a boutique outfit, we can provide a client centric service which benefits all parties.

Khumovest was founded by Thurstan Moodley, CFA and Ratirelo Mothobi, CA(SA), two investment professionals with combined investment experience in excess of 21 years. Prior to founding Khumovest, Thurstan and Ratirelo together managed the Public Investment Corporation SOC Limited’s (“PIC’s”) Private Equity (Mid & Large cap) and Structured Investment Product Portfolio. The PIC is Africa’s largest asset manager with more than USD 157 billion in assets under management.
