Who is our customer
Founded in 1994, AfricInvest is one of the most experienced private equity investors in Africa. AfricInvest III is the third fund in the firm's pan-African fund family, with a mandate to invest across all sectors, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa.
What is our funding objective?
AfricInvest III will invest in a diversified portfolio of SMEs and mid-market companies across Africa. The portfolio composition is expected to reflect the firm's local presence in Abidjan, Lagos and Nairobi (as well as Algiers, Casablanca and Tunis), as well as its experience in supporting entrepreneurs across a range of sectors through growth capital investments.
Why do we fund this investment?
FMO participated in the fund's first closing due to AfricInvest's proven track record in generating market returns in SME investments across Africa with due attention to ESG risk management and value creation (e.g. by means of resource efficiency).
