PSG Group was founded in November 1995 by Jannie Mouton and Chris Otto, with a dream of building a financial services conglomerate. They progressed well through undertaking various highly innovative transactions, always with the primary aim to create shareholder value. In the early 2000’s, PSG Group’s model changed to more closely resemble that of an investment holding company.
