Local expertise, global reach

As a leading African Corporate and Investment bank, we have an extensive relationship network with leading providers of capital across Africa and globally. Our highly skilled Private Capital team members are based in London, Johannesburg, Mumbai and Lagos to ensure close proximity to our clients across Africa and to the providers of capital in international markets.

Our Private Capital team collaborates with specialist teams on transactions, depending on sector and geography, to create tailored investment solutions for our clients. An equity fund raise for a Nigerian fintech would, for example, typically include sector specialists from our tech team, country specialists from Nigeria and advisers from South Africa to take a comprehensive and insightful narrative on the investment opportunity for marketing to the relevant investor community.

We believe that private capital as an investment class, can play a crucial role in unlocking Africa’s potential. It can accelerate growth by providing the necessary capital, expertise, and support for businesses to thrive.
