Kagiso Trust Investments (KTI) was formed in December 1993 by the Kagiso Trust as a vehicle to generate sustainable, long-term financial support (dividends) to Kagiso Trust for purposes of community development and to achieve true economic empowerment through active, operational involvement in underlying strategic investments.

Kagiso Trust owns 50.32% of Kagiso Trust Investments (KTI), which is now worth approximately R4 billion.
