Khulasande Restructure Partners

Khulasande Restructure Partners was formed in 2020 to take advantage of opportunities that presented themselves as a result of changes in market conditions, largely brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. The investment mandate of the Khulasande Restructure Fund is to make investments or partner desirable businesses that are over-geared and are currently or likely to undergo a capital restructure that may result in the requirement of a Black empowerment partner.
