Purpose-Driven Services for Africa’s Growth
Investment | Unlocking Africa’s Growth
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.
Advisory | Solving Problems, Creating Opportunities
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.
Trading | Connecting Africa with the World
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.
