MIC has current assets under management of over R10 billion and was awarded the BusinessMap Top Unlisted BEE Company of the year in 2006, and the Barloworld / WBS Top BEE Deal (Peermont) in 2008.

- To influence the strategic direction of the
companies it invests in through active
participation at executive level, driving
the change of ownership, decision making
and management structures in line with the
country’s black economic advancement
and empowerment agenda - To engage fully in the process of workplace
transformation by facilitating the
conceptualisation and implementation of
well considered and far reaching employment
equity plans, and the implementation of
affirmative procurement policies and procedures - To identify, source and secure a portfolio of
assets that provides a consistent and
sustainable cash flow
