Aureos West Africa Fund was one of three regional funds established by Aureos Capital in 2003 for the purpose of making equity and quasi-equity investments in SMEs in Sub-Saharan Africa with strong potential for profitable growth and regional expansion. The fund is now fully invested and supported investments in SMEs across a range of businesses and services in Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal. The successes of the three regional Aureos funds have led to the establishment of the successor “Aureos Africa Fund” in 2008.
