Company profile

The Johannesburg office, within close proximity to the one of the world's largest resources belts, provides the firm with a competitive edge in assessing resources companies.

The team comprises nine individuals covering the areas of fund management, equity research, quantitative research, risk management and sales and operations.
In November 2003, Craton launched its first product, a long-only precious metals fund, which has provided investors with returns well in excess of most other asset classes. The Craton Capital Global Resources Fund was launched on 1st December 2008 and has produced good returns. The Craton Capital Renewable, Alternative and Sustainable Resources Fund, was launched at the beginning of August 2009 and offers a useful single-point entry to an exciting new area.
Our ambition is to grow organically into a leading specialist global asset manager, offering a number of equity products in the precious metal, commodity and energy sectors.
We aim to position our products at the top end of the performance rankings by delivering superior returns to our clients.
