Investing in Africa offers a unique opportunity for investors to take advantage of high risk-adjusted and diversified returns. Africa enjoys a range of favourable factors typically unavailable in other markets.
Africa Select Equity Fund is a long-only investment fund, focused on investing in publicly traded companies operating predominantly in Africa, excluding South Africa. The fund is opportunity-driven and has no sector or country bias.
The fund is long-term oriented and seeks to systematically invest in a limited number of high-quality, significantly undervalued businesses which offer the highest risk-adjusted returns to investors. The fund is also characterised by a low turnover.
The fund’s investment process is led by a detailed bottom-up analysis, and is complemented by regular management interviews and site visits. Its philosophy and investment process are centred on the margin of safety in order to protect investors’ capital. Sustainability is another key element in the research and selection process to ensure all risks are adequately accounted for.
The culture is characterised by diligence, discipline, and patience.
We look for well-managed, high-quality businesses offering strong and sustainable competitive advantages, good growth prospects and high returns on capital. We take a long-term view on companies, and our strategy is to maintain a portfolio consisting of 20-25 of the highest conviction investments with superior expected returns and limited downside risks.
Africa Select Equity Fund is regulated in Malta and is licensed by the Malta Financial Regulatory Authority (MFSA) as a UCITS Scheme.
The fund is supported by leading institutions in the financial sector: APEX, European Depositary Bank, Citibank, PwC, FFF Legal as well as an established network of brokers.
The Africa Select Equity Fund’s philosophy and processes include several aspects of risk management.
