Metier Private Equity

Metier uses its deal-making skills and capital to partner entrepreneurs, helping them to realise value and fulfil their strategic ambitions.

Metier is a proven leader in the area of private equity, alternative assets and related advisory services. The company was founded in 2004 and raised, at the time, South Africa’s largest private equity fund in terms of third party local commitments. It has an established team which ranks amongst the largest and most experienced in the industry. Metier has a strong track record in private equity investing and selective M&A advice that confirms its leadership status. From inception, the company's Commerce Square offices were a reflection of the brand - open, welcoming, and independent of spirit. Seeking a return to a more personal format, Thierry, Anthony and Paul settled on the setting up of an independent and private firm to capture the next wave of growth in the private equity and dealadvising arena. They were joined by long-time legal colleague Malcolm Ball and now-Libstar director, Robin Smith.
