What is the Inthuthuko Equity Fund (IEF)?

Equity Support Solutions ief
Unique to Tuhf Capital, the Intuthuko Equity Fund (IEF) was established in 2004 and is designed to meet the needs of previously disadvantaged individuals who want to enter the property investment market but face constraints in accessing the finance needed to do so.

In a nutshell, IEF is a mezzanine finance product that helps new property entrepreneurs access senior debt finance from Tuhf Capital.

In situations where previously disadvantaged entrepreneurs lack the equity – or deposit – needed to access senior debt finance, they can apply to IEF for a contribution towards the mandatory minimum equity or deposit required for loan approval by Tuhf Capital.

While entrepreneurs still need to contribute a portion of the equity requirement, the fund provides equity support to bridge the gap – up to a maximum amount of R2.5 million.

IEF finances deals that make business sense, are expected to generate a sustainable income, and can service both the IEF mezzanine loan facility and senior debt while making some profit for the entrepreneur.
