Our companies

Invests equity and quasi-equity alongside strategic partners. Since inception, Africa50 Principal Investment Fund has deployed more than US$200 million of equity and quasi equity, investing in infrastructure projects at or near financial close as well as in growth capital transactions.

• Investing equity and quasi-equity in private and PPP infrastructure transactions.
• Seeking attractive risk-adjusted returns while having a development impact.
• Sourcing projects externally and through Africa50 – Project Development.
• Catalyzing external capital from other commercial investors and institutions to mobilize long-term savings.

Mobilization of capital into African infrastructure is one of Africa50’s strategic mandates, and as a result, the Africa50 Infrastructure Acceleration Fund (IAF) - a 12 year closeended infrastructure private equity fund was launched. Through the IAF, Africa50 is mobilizing large scale and long-term institutional capital from African and international institutions. The IAF will make equity and quasi-equity investments and take mostly majority stakes in infrastructure projects across the continent. Achieving first close for our first sponsored investment vehicle was critically important to our strategic goal to mobilize institutional investor capital for investments into African infrastructure.
