Following on from the three regional funds in west, east and southern Africa, the Aureos Africa Fund is a private equity fund which will further develop the investment strategies of its predecessors, focusing particularly on building pan-African businesses. The fund invests in medium-sized companies, led by experienced management teams, that have the potential to become African market leaders. The investment strategy involves a hands-on-value enhancing approach, including institutional strengthening of portfolio companies, and is expected to deliver significant enterprise development benefits.
