Supreme Ventures announces intended strategic divestment of Evolve Loan Co

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Supreme Ventures says initial discussions are underway with Dolla Financial Services Limited aimed at the intended divestment of Evolve Loan Co’s loan portfolio and selected assets, including its digital lending solutions, to the company.

In a release on Wednesday, the organisation shared that the planned transaction represents a deliberate capital management initiative aimed at optimising group balance sheet efficiency, reducing credit risk concentration and improving risk-adjusted returns, while maintaining exposure to future value creation in the loan portfolio.

Following the divestment, Evolve will pivot toward an asset-light operating model with a strategic focus on loan origination, digital enablement and fee-based income streams. This shift is expected to improve returns on capital while reducing balance sheet risk.

The acquisition supports Dolla’s growth strategy by expanding scale and strengthening its lending platform.

“This intended acquisition meaningfully expands our microcredit footprint and reinforces our commitment to inclusive financing. We believe it will have a positive and far-reaching impact on our loan book by improving balance, scale and growth potential,” said Dolla Financial Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kenroy Kerr.

For Supreme Ventures, the transaction enhances capital flexibility while preserving participation in future value creation through its 15 per cent equity ownership in Dolla Financial Services Limited.

“This transaction reflects disciplined capital allocation and a clear focus on shareholder value,” said Executive Chairman of Supreme Ventures, Gary Peart. “We are strengthening the group’s financial position today while preserving long-term upside through a more scalable and capital-efficient structure.”

Details of the transaction are currently being finalised and are subject to the Bank of Jamaica’s approval.
