Trustco Group Holdings Ltd has outlined plans to raise N$2.4 billion from shareholders, signalling its commitment to harness Namibia’s economic potential.

In a media release on Tuesday, the group announced ongoing negotiations with significant investors, underscoring its confidence in Namibia’s promising economic future and Trustco’s proven ability to channel capital into high-growth sectors.

In the first deal, Trustco and the US fund Riskowitz Value Fund LP (RVF) are poised to invest up to N$950 million in cash into Trustco, solidifying RVF’s role as a foreign anchor investor.
