About Us
An enduring investment business, built on tax expertise.
Who we are
Simplified tax-enhanced investing
ANUVA is a South African investment manager with more than a decade of experience creating, structuring and managing tax-enhanced alternative investments for private investors.
ANUVA began as a Section 12J investment vehicle, raising more than R2.3 billion from over 850 private investors. Through this experience, ANUVA developed specialised expertise in pooling private investor capital; sourcing, developing and investing in qualifying assets; and structuring investments around established tax legislation, while managing the complexities of compliance on behalf of investors.
After the sun set on Section 12J, ANUVA applied this experience to Section 12B renewable energy investments, pooling private investor capital through dedicated partnerships to fund solar PV and backup-power projects that are sourced, developed and managed on their behalf.

Philosophy
Structuring enhances an investment. But it can't make it great.
While good structuring can enhance an investment's return or limit its downside, it seldom turns a fundamentally weak asset into a good one - particularly over the long-term.
That is why ANUVA starts with the fundamentals. We focus on quality assets, proven technology, financially sound offtakers and effective long-term asset management. Only then do we apply tax-efficient structuring to enhance the investment outcome.
Expertise
Tax is our competitive advantage.
ANUVA has a long track record in tax-enhanced investing, supported by deep in-house tax and structuring expertise. That experience is embedded into every Section 12B investment we offer.
From structuring the investment correctly to preparing the supporting documentation and navigating the deduction process, our objective is to make claiming your Section 12B deduction as straightforward, well-supported and seamless as possible.
Founders
Meet the Founders.
Neill and Greig founded ANUVA around a simple idea: investors should look beyond marginal savings with tax dedutions to the far greater potential that tax-enhanced investing can have on long-term wealth creation.
Their ambition was to make tax-enhanced investing more accessible. ANUVA combines strong investment fundamentals with tax expertise to create investment opportunities that provide immediate tax deductions and long term returns.
That philosophy has always extended beyond financial returns. Through ANUVA Investments Limited, capital has been invested into businesses and assets that support job creation, economic growth and development. ANUVA Green Energy continues that narrative by investing in renewable energy infrastructure that contributes to a greener future while also helping South African businesses access reliable, lower-cost energy.
