Delivering for investors

We aim to deliver compelling diversification and long-term returns.
Investors are looking to diversify. But informed investors want more – they want exposure to undeserved and growing markets with strong risk mitigants. We help them achieve this.
We finance businesses in the MENA and Sub-Saharan African regions. You benefit from these opportunities with first- and second-loss protection provided by public investors.
We also enhance the quality of deals via our separately funded advisory & capacity building services.
Bridging the funding gap

We work with financial institutions to finance a wider range of credit-worthy MSMEs - the backbone of the markets we invest in.
We create systemic impact through funding that bridges the MSME financing gap and capacity building. This is how we help underserved markets grow sustainably.
Our specialists live and operate in the MENA and Sub-Saharan Africa regions. They work closely with our partners to direct financing to businesses that meet our impact criteria.
We also provide non-financial support via our advisory & capacity building services - providing education and consultancy, and contributing to market development.
