Pan-African Expertise
We are pan-African, recognising all of its idiosyncrasies in governance, culture and language. So we are able to access and use local knowledge.
We are a profit-for-purpose impact investor using Catalytic Capital focused on People, Planet, and Profit.
We invest primarily through Permanent Capital Vehicles (PCVs), believing their long-term structure is vital for Africa's development, unlike shorter-term private equity approaches. This allows us to mobilise institutional, commercial, and HNW investors with opportunities that have a real, beneficial impact.
Our focus is on Real Assets in essential sectors like agri-business, energy, infrastructure, healthcare, and real estate.
Within these areas, our capital deployment takes three primary forms:
We partner with businesses in Africa to resolve critical issues, whether operational, financial, or commercial and unlock critical value. Our purpose is to turn those challenges into growth opportunities—with discretion, clarity, and impact.
Through DARAJA, our specialist trading arm, we move essential commodities into and out of Africa. Our focus is on reliability, efficiency and trust, ensuring goods flow smoothly across borders to fuel industries, feed people, and power progress.
We are pan-African, recognising all of its idiosyncrasies in governance, culture and language. So we are able to access and use local knowledge.
We are educated in deploying global financial and governance standards and so both understand the risks that concern investors and understand how to mitigate them.
We have a strong flow of deals that match our catalytic capital / permanent capital vehicle / real asset requirements.
Our flexibility allows us to adapt quickly to evolving market conditions and tailor solutions to the unique needs of each client. We support the “Missing Middle” of African entrepreneurs by providing scalable solutions.
Data analytics drives informed decisions, optimizing performance and achieving measurable business success. We believe in catalytic capital and impact investing.
Our commitment to sustainable practices ensures environmental responsibility and business resilience. We are a profit for purpose business, committed to the 3 Ps (people, planet and profit) and aligned with the UNs sustainable development goals.
