Investment thesis
The firm invests across Africa using a disciplined, quality-focused approach spanning both private and public markets. Through its two complementary funds (operated under the Paladin Africa brand), it backs proven, profitable and cash-generating African technology businesses in private markets, and maintains a concentrated portfolio of 12-20 high-quality African public companies with strong moats, compelling growth and reasonable valuations. Beyond capital, it provides commercial and operational support to help scale investee companies, and intentionally funds social impact initiatives addressing Africa's social and development needs. It seeks long-term partnerships with both high-net-worth investors and founders seeking a durable steward.
