Launched in 2010, the Alquity Africa Fund gives investors access to the dynamism and unparalleled growth potential of an evolving region.
In a continent of 54 diverse countries, the importance of local knowledge cannot be overstated, and the sustainable competitive advantage enjoyed by companies with established market share and operations is significant. Investment in our Africa Fund also affords compelling optionality, against the backdrop of Egypt’s revenue rejuvenating reforms and the potential for a leadership change to unlock South Africa’s potential.
Unique in character but consistent in approach, each of our funds exemplifies Alquity’s investment principles. Our multi-faceted analysis, combining macro and micro factors and long-term themes, alongside key engagement with our firms, establishes high conviction portfolios with a responsibly competitive edge.
