Founded in 1989, RMB Corvest is one of South Africa's most successful private equity firms. It provides on-balance-sheet funding for management buy-outs and buy-ins, leveraged buy-outs and buy-ins, growth and expansion capital, and funded BEE transactions, typically partnering with established businesses that have sustainable earnings and EBITDA above R40 million.

Because its funding sits on balance sheet, RMB Corvest invests without the exit-timing pressures of a traditional fund, allowing it to build long-term partnerships with the companies it backs. The firm has completed more than 200 transactions to date and is a subsidiary of FirstRand Bank Limited, with access to the wider RMB and FirstRand network.
