  3. Capital allocation

Disciplined funding across the group

Disciplined allocation of group capital across businesses, tied to agreed targets and reviewed against cashflow.

Overview

Disciplined funding across the group

A group grows well when each pula goes where it earns the most for the least risk, and when that is checked regularly rather than assumed.

We allocate capital across the businesses in the group against targets they have agreed, and review returns and cashflow on a regular rhythm. Matters of size and risk are reserved to the board.

What it covers

In practice

  • Funding released against agreed performance
  • One view of capital across the group
  • Regular review of returns and cashflow
  • Matters of size and risk reserved to the board

How it works

Four steps from request to repayment

  1. Set targets

    Each business sets measurable targets and states the capital it needs to reach them.

  2. Rank uses of capital

    The investment committee compares proposals on return, risk and fit.

  3. Release in tranches

    Funding is released in stages as targets are met.

  4. Review and recycle

    We review cashflow and returns, and move capital to where it works hardest.

What we look for

What makes a strong case

  • Targets that can be measured
  • Monthly cashflow reporting
  • A named owner for every number
  • Evidence of demand behind each plan
  • Honest reporting of misses as well as wins
  • Returns that justify the cost of the capital

In context

Why it matters now

Inflation of 7.8% in September 2026 and a 5.5% policy rate mean capital costs more, so each pula has to work harder.
