Solar power after sunset? ☀️🌙

ACWA Power Redstone stores the sun’s heat for up to 12 hours, delivering clean power to South Africa when demand peaks in the evening. A 20-year power purchase agreement with Eskom gives it contracted, long-term revenue.

The Prescient Clean Energy & Infrastructure Debt Fund is one of its senior lenders.

Keep an eye out for the launch of our 2026 Responsible Investing Report.

AI isn’t just changing jobs. It could change how retirement is funded.

Yesterday, our team was at the GEPF Annual Thought Leadership Conference 2026, where Bastian Teichgreeber moderated a panel on AI, employment and pension fund contributions.

The key point: when workers are displaced, the contributions they make go with them. Responsible AI governance and planning for fund sustainability matter more than ever.

Congratulations to Thuwaybah Bassier and Shakila Africa from the University of Cape Town, the winners of our 4th annual Prescient Coding Challenge! 🎉

This year’s challenge brought together talented students from universities across Cape Town, each tackling real-world problems with code.

We welcomed our winners to the office for breakfast, where they had the opportunity to sit with some of our investment teams and see first-hand how data and technology shape the decisions we make every day. They also collected their prizes.

Thank you to every student who took part. Here’s to the next generation of problem-solvers! 💡

Growing boldly starts with seeing what’s possible.

We welcomed Grade 10 and 11 girls as part of the CFA Society South Africa’s Day of the Girl Job Shadowing Initiative.
