“There was now a classic merger arbitrage opportunity in Curro shares. Buying Curro (COHJ.J in the table below) and shorting Capitec and PSG Financial Services (CPIJ.J and KSTJ.J, respectively) would yield a very attractive profit – more than 7%.”
Capitec Bank Holdings - HoldsBenguela Global SA Capped SWIX EquityJune 2026
“Capitec (overweight) Capitec contributed positively to performance in Q2, with a selection effect of +0.17% against an average active overweight of 0.98%. The bank reported another exceptional set of full-year results for the year to February 2026, with headline earnings up 23% to R16.8 billion, active clients growing 7% to 26 million, and a total dividend of R79.80 per share, itself up 23% year-on-year. Return on equity of 31% underscores the quality of the underlying franchise, and continued diversification into insurance, business banking and fintech (Capitec Connect) provides multiple avenues for growth beyond the core personal banking business. The shares reached a record high during the quarter before retreating modestly in early July. We regard Capitec as a core holding a quality compounder we seek to own at the heart of the portfolio.”
