Investment Focus (On-balance sheet investments)

The objective of Vantage Capital investments is to identify and structure opportunities for Vantage Capital and other BEE entities to participate in genuine broad-based empowerment.

Vantage Capital executives take a hands-on role to identify and canvas potential BEE participants and structure optimum arrangements for all transaction participants. This is done with the emphasis on realistic pricing, optimum levels of debt and equity funding to ensure effective transfer of economic ownership to BEE entities.

Vantage Capital Investments applies the Group philosophy of hands-on involvement that adds real value (contributions going deep rather than spread thin). Therefore, it targets key strategic transactions that enable the Group to play a meaningful role. Areas of focus are: Financial Services, Resources, Construction, Manufacturing and Services.

Comcorp was established in 1993 and began trading as a financial services business focused on bridging finance in the residential property market. In 1999 Comcorp used the technological competence it had built up in managing its finance business to develop a software business focused on mortgage origination. A decision was taken to sell the bridging finance business and focus on mortgage software. Comcorp Online (Pty) Ltd was formed for this purpose.

To date Comcorp Online has processed over 1 000 000 loan application submissions to our banking partners worth over R400bn. At present in excess of 60 000 applications are submitted monthly valued at R30bn. More than 1 500 people from 400 companies have been trained on Comcorp’s BondTrak Mortgage Software.

In 2004 Comcorp Holdings (Pty) Ltd was registered. Comcorp Holdings is used to house the various subsidiary companies of the Comcorp Group. Currently this consists of Comcorp Online and Comcorp Solutions. In January 2005 Comcorp Solutions (Pty) Ltd was formed to focus on Digital Pen and Paper Solutions.

Vantage Capital Investments acquired 25.1% in Comcorp in December 2005.
