What We Do
Structuring the path from opportunity to execution
Our capabilities span the full investment lifecycle — from identifying and evaluating opportunities through to structuring capital, assembling the right partners and designing the vehicle through which value is created.
01
Deal Origination & Advisory
We are active originators of private market opportunities across our four focus sectors. Our origination capabilities are underpinned by long-standing relationships with project developers, government agencies, concession holders and operating companies across the continent. We conduct thorough commercial, financial and technical due diligence on every opportunity we bring to our partners, ensuring only transactions meeting our stringent quality criteria are presented for consideration.
Our advisory role extends to supporting clients in evaluating opportunities originated by third parties — providing independent assessment of deal merit, structure and risk profile.
02
Capital Stack Structuring
The architecture of capital is as important as its quantity. We work alongside our partners to design capital structures that appropriately apportion risk and return, optimise tax efficiency across multiple jurisdictions, and create the right incentive alignment between equity investors, lenders and operating partners.
Our experience spans senior debt, mezzanine financing, preferred equity and common equity structures, as well as blended finance vehicles that incorporate development finance institution participation where appropriate.
03
Syndication & Co-Investment
Our network of co-investment partners includes family offices, institutional investors, development finance institutions and strategic corporate investors with complementary capabilities and mandates. We curate syndication consortia with precision — assembling partners who bring not only capital but also sector knowledge, market relationships and governance capabilities to support successful execution.
We manage the syndication process from initial partner identification through to legal documentation and final close.
04
Investment Vehicle Design & Formation
We work with our partners and their legal and tax advisers to establish the most appropriate investment vehicles for each transaction — whether a special purpose vehicle, a co-investment fund, a joint venture structure or a more complex multi-tiered arrangement. We understand regulatory and tax environments across multiple African jurisdictions and key offshore financial centres, enabling us to design structures that are both commercially optimal and operationally robust.
05
Consulting & Strategic Advisory
Beyond transaction-specific mandates, we offer a broader strategic advisory capability to investors, family offices and operating businesses navigating the African private markets landscape. Our consulting work encompasses market entry strategy, sector analysis, partner identification, regulatory navigation and portfolio review.
We serve as a trusted sounding board for clients at every stage of their African investment journey — from first steps into the market to established investors seeking to optimise existing portfolios.
