Dedicated to Sourcing the Best Opportunities on Behalf of Our Investors
We invest in companies that operate in business environments characterized by limited competition or in sectors in which Africa has a comparative advantage or an unmet need. This strategy maintains diversification within ECP’s investment portfolio and provides our investors with risk-adjusted returns that are generally uncorrelated to the US and other global markets.
