The private equity (PE) industry is one of the most dynamic and competitive sectors in investing. With its potential to shape industries and impact economies globally, it’s no wonder that many aspiring professionals look to PE as the pinnacle of a successful investment career. However, succeeding in private equity requires more than just technical expertise; it demands a unique combination of leadership, strategic thinking, and the ability to drive transformation in a rapidly changing world. 

As the industry evolves, empowering the next generation of private equity leaders becomes crucial.

This is according to Cami Mbulawa, Head of Alternative Investment Services at RisCura. In the latest SAVCA Private Capital Magazine 2025, she highlights key areas for building the next generation of private equity professionals, which include  fostering diversity and inclusion.  

The article also outlines how RisCura’s SAICA Chartered Accountant Training Programme contributes to talent development across the investment industry. Over the course of the programme’s six-year history, alumni have gone on to contribute to investment banking, private equity, and asset management, demonstrating the programme’s value in building a strong talent pipeline.
