Towards wealth

We are the investor of choice for small
and growing agribusiness.

East Africa – investment opportunities

The under-served investment market in East Africa is immense. East Africa is clearly outgrowing the developed world in terms of GDP. New business models are emerging to address the barriers to financial inclusion. Achieving success in reaching the underserved with appropriate and services tailored to their needs includes focusing on enterprising individuals and small & growing businesses.

Our highly experienced team has both African roots and experience in the international financial sector, they speak the local languages and they are familiar with the respective cultural, economic and political nuances. This gives them a profound understanding of investing in the African context.
