ASSET MANAGEMENT
SPICA ASSET MANAGEMENT
Spica Asset Management, a regulated asset manager, is the preferred manager of two funds on behalf of PIHL, providing fully compliant asset manager capabilities.
​
Spica Asset Management was founded in 2006. Originally established to acquire the management contracts for the Perpetual Metier Mutual Fund Ltd, a global macro fund, Spica was later restructured as a Segregated Portfolio Company Limited.
This restructuring enabled it to provide for multiple segregated funds with different mandates, objectives and risk profiles.
Today, Spica manages two funds: The LION Fund, launched in 2014, and The SAM Fund, launched in January 2018. Spica also provides advisory services to a third fund, The VM Fund, launched in December 2020.

Hethe-Mari Moolman
FINANCIAL MANAGER
Hethe-Mari has practised as a CA(SA) for 17 years. Her job titles span Group Accountant, Financial Manager, and Financial Director – let’s just say she knows her way around the finance department.
Personal integrity and honesty are sacred in the world of investing.
It’s all very well writing a set of corporate values. But it’s the people in your business that determine its culture. And when you have senior employees who don’t compromise on their moral code, this sets a higher bar for everyone else.
Hethe-Mari Moolman is one of those people.
