We seek out unique and proprietary opportunities in expanding economies and sectors in Africa

What We Do

Founded in 2007, and based in London, we advise the investment manager of private equity fund ADP I (comprising African Development Partners I, LLC and ADP I LP) in its investments across Africa.

How We Do It

By combining over 50 years of the partners’ investment expertise with a disciplined, process-led approach, we seek out unique and exclusive opportunities in expanding economies and sectors in Africa. We are an engaged adviser working closely with the fund’s portfolio companies to create value and we keep our eyes on potential exits.

Why Africa?

Africa is undergoing a similar phenomenon already underway in China and India: a rapidly growing middle class. We believe that those companies, providing the goods and services demanded by Africa’s developing middle class, represent reliable and robust investment opportunities. The Fund may also give its investors exposure to Africa’s resource companies.

Our Team

Our partners, along with our investment team, have experience in originating, structuring, executing and exiting investments in Africa. We have professionals from several key parts of Africa. Our team speaks the major business languages of Africa: English, French and Arabic as well as many African languages.
