About Acorn
The Acorn Group was founded by Pierre Malan in April 2009 after his tenure as the CEO of the recently listed Paladin Capital.
Acorn has subsequently grown into a well-balanced, dynamic and energetic team with expert market knowledge and commendable track records. The team of executives has vast experience in various different sectors that complement each other well. The Acorn team will not take on undue risk and will aim to make investments that have relatively low risk in relation to the industry. Given the attractive pricing in the current markets the Acorn Funds are well positioned to take maximum advantage of acquiring equity stakes in profitable and growing entities without the need for undue risk.
Acorn has a modest fee structure and charges fees that are lower than most competitors.
Acorn currently has two live funds. Both funds are in fund raising mode and both funds are actively engaging potential portfolio companies.
