THE FIRM

Focused on the sustainable growth of African business

We are an Africa-focused multi-sector investment and advisory firm. Our team combines extensive global investment and transaction experience in Capital Markets, Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities - Africa's core industry and market driver. We align our interests with those of our investors and partners to accelerate growth and diversification across the continent.

 

We use our wealth of regional experience in structuring and deploying financial products for Africa. Through this experience, we have developed a set of nuanced strategies guided by our deep understanding of associated risks and opportunities.

The Altica Difference

SPECIALISM

We invest and assist clients in our areas of expertise only in markets where we understand their mechanics, political, and cultural nuances.

FOCUS

We focus on creating value for our clients and investors in areas we believe the most attractive opportunities lie.

EXPERIENCE

We combine decades of team experience in sourcing, structuring and executing high-quality proprietary transactions in the region helping our clients and partners achieve their objectives.

APPROACH

Investing across the credit spectrum enables us to withstand the short-term volatility associated with public bond markets. It protects us from many risks inherent in private and public equity. 

LOCAL EXPERTISE

Our team comprises professionals who have lived and worked in Africa and other growth markets with a distinct understanding of multiple local jurisdictions and sectors.

CULTURE

Adherence to our business principles which form the foundations of our culture is critical to our success. They were developed on the basis of considerable introspection. 

GUIDING CAPITAL, AIDING GROWTH, MITIGATING RISK.

We leverage unique structured processes underpinned by risk management techniques we have developed to originate and execute quality transactions. Where we inject capital, we use our expertise and networks to aid the development of portfolio companies.

Our investment and advisory teams work closely with coverage and portfolio monitoring executives on the ground who provide support and continuous intelligence in our target markets.

The impact of our activities in improving the lives of Africans is central to everything we do. We integrate responsible business practices incorporating environmental, social and governance standards (ESG) in our investment approach.
