CATALYST FUND MANAGERS
Catalyst Fund Managers was established in 2001 as a specialist in managing listed real estate investments. Real estate investment, both South African and global, is our speciality and our passion. It’s what energises us and keeps us motivated.
The business was borne out of a firm belief in the distinctive benefits of including this asset class in an investment portfolio. In addition to our specialist expertise and experience, we manage our clients’ money like our own, always considering that there are individual goals, specific needs and hopes behind every investment.
Investment team
Our investment team consists of dedicated real estate specialists with direct real estate market experience. This first-hand exposure to developing, financing, leasing and managing real estate provides our team with unique insight into the risk-and-return opportunities in the companies we cover and differentiates us from our peers. Real estate is a unique asset class that is best understood with direct real estate experience
The funds are managed by Jamie Boyes and Marcus Erlank who between them have over 25 years experience in global and local real estate and financial markets. Jamie joined Catalyst Fund Managers in 2007 and Marcus joined in 2017.
