The Kipuka Treasury Model didn’t come out of theory. It grew out of experience, institutional foresight – and the courage to rethink existing mechanisms.
One individual was crucial:
Jacques de Groote, former Managing Director of the World Bank, developed tools in the 1980s to use equity as a prudential collateral instrument – a pioneer in the question of how to economically activate and mobilise hidden reserves. His approach to intelligent capital allocation remains a key foundation of the Treasury Model to this day.
The Kipuka Treasury Model approach is not a whim of the market – it is the result of decades of work on a central question.
