WIPHOLD’s investment philosophy is about both building and enhancing shareholder value. The strategic imperatives that underpin this investment philosophy are values-based and seek to: 
•  influence the economic landscape in order to unlock opportunities for women;
•  create the pathways for talented black women to achieve success in the business world; and
•  promote innovative ways to economically uplift rural and peri-urban communities.

Our investment philosophy is founded on these core principles:
•  We play the long game and are patiently committed to building enduring value.
•  We are intentional and strategic – acquiring stakes in businesses with proven success.
•  We look beyond profit and value businesses on the quality of their organisational leadership  and market stature.
•  We look to leverage opportunities that offer us strategic and operational influence to meet our objectives for shareholder value.
