Although listed on the JSE, the bulk of the operating assets of Tradehold Limited, an investment holding company, is located in the UK. These assets consist primarily of an 85% holding in the property-owning Moorgarth group of companies and an indirect holding, through Reward Investments Limited, of 63% in the two operating Reward LLP’s, Reward Capital and Reward Commercial Finance, which focus on short-term, asset-backed loans to small and medium-sized businesses and on invoice-discounting facilities to similar businesses respectively. By far the largest investment is in Moorgarth which manages a £77,4 million portfolio of retail, commercial and industrial buildings. In March 2014 Tradehold bought the South African financial services business Mettle, which will continue as a separate business within the Group. Considerable synergies exist between Mettle’s operations and those of Reward’s two subsidiaries.
