MMEF’s strategic focus is on five key revenue streams:
By July 2023, MMEF made its first public offering, a significant milestone that allowed the fund to attract a broad range of investors. This move was part of a broader strategy to leverage deep industry insights and financial expertise to support and grow high-potential media projects.
As of May 2024, MMEF has deployed R 43,150,871.92 into the production of TV series, set to premiere on major streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon. This substantial investment underscores the fund’s commitment to fostering high-quality media content and supporting the growth of South Africa’s entertainment sector.
MMEF's performance has been impressive, with the fund yielding 8.69% in 2023 over just four and a half months and achieving a 7.59% return so far in 2024. For April 2024 alone, the fund reported a yield of 1.77%, demonstrating its consistent performance and robust investment strategy.
A pivotal moment in MMEF’s journey was its approval on April 23, 2024, by the JSE's Johannesburg Private Placements (JPP) platform (FSP: 51709). JPP is a strategic extension of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), designed to facilitate private placements and connect innovative projects with investors. This approval validates MMEF's strategic vision and opens up new avenues for raising capital, enabling the fund to attract more investments and scale its impact.
MMEF’s journey from inception to its current status as a high-performing fund is a testament to its strategic focus and the expertise of its management team. The fund not only aims for financial success but also champions inclusivity and sustainability through investments aligned with Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBB-EEE) principles.
As the fund continues to grow and invest in transformative media projects, it remains dedicated to delivering exceptional returns to its investors and contributing to the vibrant cultural fabric of South Africa. The approval by JPP further solidifies MMEF’s position as a key player in the industry, providing a secure and efficient environment for high-value investments
