Founder of YL Capital
“More than a decade ago, this visionary quickly realized his aptitude for numbers and passion for global markets. Having worked in various capacities with top Industry leaders there came a realization of existing gaps in the alternative investment market that could be filled by adopting a holistic approach to the real estate and infrastructure investment landscape. YL Capital was thus born, filling these gaps with ‘unique value’ and linking the various stakeholders of the burgeoning value chain within the real estate industry.”
Lucien Gounden; Founder and Managing Director of YL Capital (Pty) Ltd has always had a burning desire to equip families looking for alternative international investment solutions, with the knowledge and information relative to global markets.
A husband, and ‘Fur-Dad’ to two beautiful Great Danes, this family man’s journey has spanned across various markets and continents. With a focused approach on the African continent, Middle East and Europe Lucien’s fundamental reason for creating YL Capital was to build a business focused on hybrid strategies for families, giving them unique access to solutions that could not be achieved traditionally.
