OUR HISTORY<br />

Exodus & <strong>Company</strong> (Pvt) Ltd is a Zimbabwean<br />

registered company, which commenced<br />

operations in December 2007. The company is<br />

registered as a private company, under<br />

registration number 32378/2007 and is wholly<br />

owned by indigenous Zimbabweans.<br />

Our original business model involved the provision of<br />

specialised advisory and investment services, with a major<br />

focus on managing the investment needs of the family<br />

members and close relatives. As a major component of<br />

financing the company start up costs, the owners of the<br />

company divested their 28% ownership from Premier<br />

Finance Group Limited, now Ecobank Zimbabwe.<br />

In pursuit of growth, we acquired NDH Equities (Private)<br />

Limited in January 2010 from NDH Holdings Limited. The<br />

company, operating since 1999, is a registered member of<br />

the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange and is licensed by the<br />

Securities Commission of Zimbabwe in terms of the<br />

Securities Act (Chapter 24:25). The company has since been<br />

rebranded to Platinum Securities (Private Limited.<br />

In April 2010, we made another acquisition of MBCA Capital<br />

Management (Private) Limited, a fund and wealth<br />

management company. It is registered in terms of the Asset<br />

Management Act, (Chapter 24:26) and the Securities Act<br />

(Chapter 24:25) and is regulated by the Securities<br />

Commission of Zimbabwe. The company was founded in<br />

1999, as the asset management division of MBCA Holdings<br />

Zimbabwe (a subsidiary of Nedbank SA). The fund manager<br />

has been rebranded to Platinum Investment managers<br />

(Private) Limited.<br />

During the period we agreed on the above acquisitions, it<br />

became necessary to restructure the business. In the<br />

process, we formed a new brand, Platinum Groupe (Pvt)<br />

Ltd, and transferred all investment management activities<br />

and financial advisory services of Exodus & <strong>Company</strong> (Pvt)<br />

Ltd, MBCA Capital Management (Pvt) Ltd and NDH Equities<br />

(Pvt) Ltd to operate as subsidiaries of Platinum Groupe (Pvt)<br />

Ltd.<br />

Following this restructuring of the business in 2010, Exodus<br />

& <strong>Company</strong> (Pvt) Ltd refocused its business model to a real<br />

estate development and infrastructure construction<br />

company.<br />
