Terebinth evaluates ESG factors from both a top-down and bottom-up perspective. The first step is to correctly identify medium-term themes that are likely to impact the global economy and financial markets. We believe that such analysis anchors sound investment decisions. A range of potential ESG-related risks and opportunities that could affect particular issuers and industries are considered.
As a result, we follow a phased approach to the implementation of the above intentions, distinguishing between them as follows:
Clients come first. Without clients, we have no business. We are committed to fair treatment of all clients, irrespective of size or vehicle through which they access our investment products. Focusing on building long-term sustainable client relationships and on producing investment performance over meaningful periods that meets our clients’ investment objectives and expectations.
We engage with clients on an ongoing basis through various means and respond to all queries in the shortest possible time. Terebinth Capital is dedicated to the protection of clients’ personal information and therefore ensures that business processes are protected through appropriate governance, controls and sufficient checks and balances. Product performance and views are published weekly and monthly.
ESG needs to be a tangible enabler of investment outcomes. We are a fiduciary to our clients – their interest comes first – always. We speak with the courage of our convictions. We have a responsibility to be the voice of investors, and we represent each client fairly and equally.
We appreciate that ESG allows investment managers to reduce risk to investment asset valuations (short-termism, passing on externalities, etc), as well as potentially improve long-term risk adjusted returns, to meet beneficiary liabilities better.

The African Scholars Fund, through awards and guidance, assists promising youth school children form the most needy homes to complete their secondary education.

“Believe in me and I will rise to the top”
“The fund works with about 290 primary (feeder) schools and financially supports learners at 63 high schools every year – schools which are often lacking in resources and funding. About half of our learners, taken from these under-resourced circumstances, will succeed at tertiary level. The other half will go into skills training, most of them through TVET (Technical Vocational Education and Training) Colleges.”
The Hemel-en-Aarde Education Project (HEAEP) opened in January of 2017 and consists of an early childhood development centre focused on the growth and development of children aged 3 months and older and the very first Pebbles Academy which opened in 2019 after the closure of the local government school due to lack of funding which teaches grade R – grade 7.
The main emphasis is education. The project focuses on enriching the lives of disadvantaged children and families, the entire life of a child and the challenging circumstances they face.
“A world of opportunities for empowered communities”
We challenge HOW we learn, WHAT we learn, and WHO has access to learning. We are reimagining education in South Africa to use it as a tool for a future of abundance, not exclusion.
Our goal is to deliver wonder-filled 21st century learning opportunities to rural, previously excluded communities.
To export the GWF model as a sustainable model for future rural education that can be scaled to other parts of sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere in the world. Each cluster of Digital Learning Campuses will be 80% self-funded, 100% community-powered and 75% women-led.
GWF’s staffing is based on a local management model. They believe in building platforms for rural women, as well as rural men, who value and believe communities that are made better through inclusivity and diversity.
