Our Investment Philosophy

Partnership and alignment underpin ACW’s investment philosophy. We have a track record of partnering with exceptional entrepreneurs/management teams, and seek to complement them by deploying patient capital, and applying our global network of relationships and extensive strategic and corporate finance expertise.

icon

The investment team maintains direct, frequent contact with entrepreneurs/management teams, functioning as a trusted advisor and additional resource to the operational management, particularly in the context of considering significant strategic and financial matters.

icon

The ACW team also deploys its decades of experience in the region to assist entrepreneurs/management teams to enhance business practices; access markets, finance and technology; improve efficiencies; and build business networks and global relationships.

As owners and founders of our own business, we are able to identify strongly with entrepreneurs and the challenges that may be encountered in the drive for further growth/expansion.

Benefits of the Africa Capitalworks Model of Deploying Permanent Capital

icon
Enables implementation of long‐term strategic decisions and provides opportunity to capture multiple stages of growth, leading to a stronger alignment of interests with entrepreneurs/management teams and better partnerships.
icon
Empowers the company’s management to focus on delivering strong operational performance, rather than facilitating a private equity/another shareholder’s exit.
icon
Allows for incremental investment and does not crowd out other sources of private capital by requiring an exit within a fixed fund life, which is especially important in Africa, where private capital is particularly scarce.
