Trinitas Private Equity


Trinitas is a black-empowered, independent private equity advisor, formed as a joint venture amongst the principals, Sasfin Bank and Peotona Group, to establish Trinitas Private Equity Fund. The principals of the Fund are Andrew Hall, John Stipinovich and Soteris Theorides, who have worked together as a private equity team since 2001.

The principals, Sasfin and Peotona bring together the various elements of a leading private equity advisor, ensuring access to proprietary deal flow. The Sasfin brand, value investing track-record and history of good governance, coupled with the principals' experience and successful history of sourcing, concluding and realising investments as a team, together with the brand, credibility and diverse network and reach of Peotona, culminated in Trinitas.
