    Rockcastle has its primary listing on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius (SEM) and a secondary listing in Johannesburg.

    The company said it will retain its primary listing on the SEM along with a primary listing on the JSE's main board.

    Rockcastle was listed by the Resilient group in August 2012 and has seen its market capitalisation climb from R83m at listing to R11.4bn. It recently held a private share placement in which it raised R2.51bn from South African investors and raised $4.6m on its Mauritian share register.

    It is seeking deals in Africa and Poland as it shifts to investing in the direct property market‚ and away from owning equity stakes in property funds.

    About 95% of the company's assets are equity stakes and only about 5% is in direct property. New Chief Executive Spiro Noussis wants to change this to an even split.
