Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Paperback. The author lost the price of a house betting against Capitec Bank, South Africa's most celebrated bank. Not once, but four times. Each bet was leveraged. Each bet was wrong, or at least early. He spent the next seven years finding out whether he was wrong, or the market was. This book is the result. Capitec is, by every metric the market watches, the most successful South African company of the post-apartheid era. Twenty-five million customers in twenty-five years. A share price that has compounded faster than any other on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. A market capitalisation that exceeds the combined value of several of its older competitors. The bank tells a simple story about its success: low fees, transparent products, a focus on the customers the big banks ignored. That story is true. It is also incomplete. Drawing on court filings, regulatory disclosures, audit memoranda, and the bank's own annual reports, this book examines what is happening inside one of South Africa's most opaque institutions. The accounting choices that supported earnings for nearly a decade before the standards changed. The remuneration structure that pays executives on the very metrics they themselves help determine. The insurance growth that diversifies the income statement without diversifying the risk. The foreign expansion now exposing South African depositors to credit conditions in jurisdictions they have never heard of. The regulatory environment that has, on more than one occasion, defended the bank against the people asking the hardest questions. The bankers in this story are not new. They learned their craft together at Stellenbosch University and built it across decades of business relationships, cross-shareholdings, board appointments, and shared loyalties. The same network that built Capitec built Steinhoff International, South Africa's biggest accounting fraud. Three hundred and fifty years ago, in 1672, Charles II of England stopped paying his debts. The bankers he had borrowed from lost everything. Their depositors lost everything. The reasons banks fail have not changed since. The bankers have just got better at hiding them. South Africa's banking miracle and greatest post-apartheid success story was built on lies. The Stellenbosch elite thought their secrets were buried forever. This item is printed on demand.
