The Intuthuko Equity Fund (IEF) is a development finance company that provides equity financing to support entrepreneurs who wish to enter the residential rental property market but face funding constraints. Intuthuko provides these emerging entrepreneurs (who must also qualify for either a TUHF or uMaStandi senior mortgage loan), with equity in the form of a subordinate concessionary loan.
IEF centres on attracting people with experience and knowledge of property management and providing them with the means to purchase different types of buildings and convert them to quality affordable rental housing units. IEF enables access to funding for entrepreneurs that have traditionally been overlooked by other funders; and in doing so, drives transformation and inclusive economic growth in the property market.
