About Us: Cross-Border Corporate Finance and M&A Advisory
Anatrica Partners is a corporate finance and M&A advisory firm specialising in cross-border transactions, with group companies operating in Türkiye and South Africa. Alongside our strong presence in the Türkiye–Africa corridor, we provide cross-border financial advisory services covering all countries.
In Brief: Who We Are
Founded on more than two decades of financial investment expertise, Anatrica Partners has its roots in Johannesburg, South Africa. We combine Vunani’s legacy with experienced financial advisory leadership from Istanbul.
In Türkiye, we advise on mergers and acquisitions, valuation and financial advisory mandates, and we advise buyers and sellers on cross-border transactions covering all countries, without geographic limits. The Türkiye–Africa corridor is one of our areas of strength: we help Turkish companies enter African markets and connect African investors with opportunities in Türkiye. Our network of relationships and on-the-ground experience give our clients direct access and deep market insight.
With headquarters in the global finance hubs of Johannesburg and Istanbul, we are positioned to access new opportunities in emerging markets.

Explore →The Road to Anatrica Partners
The firm’s roots go back to a chance meeting during the 2010 World Cup: Ethan Dube, CEO of Vunani Capital Partners, part of Vunani Group, one of the established groups in Africa’s financial services sector, met Abubekir Salim, Chairman of the DEİK Türkiye–South Africa Business Council and a mining entrepreneur in South Africa.
That encounter started a collaboration that grew into a series of successful ventures, revealing the untapped potential of the Anatolian and African markets.
Seeing how little the opportunities in these regions were understood, the founders combined their expertise and leadership 14 years later to establish Anatrica Partners. The firm was founded to provide specialised advisory services and to help businesses navigate and grow in these emerging markets.
