ECP is the first private equity fund to raise $1.8 billion for investment in companies across Africa; over the past decade we have developed a unique and deep understanding of the African business and investment environment, which has only reinforced our confidence in the continent's prospects. As a testament to our unwavering conviction and belief in the African private equity market, we have invested ourselves both professionally and personally. Professionally, we back our belief in the opportunities in Africa by investing our personal capital alongside our investors. We prosper together with our investors as we strive to develop robust and successful businesses that not only yield significant returns, but also enhance the continent's economic prosperity. From a personal perspective, ECP proudly counts within its ranks multilingual team members from across the continent. Our colleagues are part of a new generation that is more determined than ever to help build a prosperous Africa, and therefore are fully invested in the economic and social successes of the region. Our alignment of interest with our investors is fundamental to the way ECP does business. We have established policies and compensation structures at the Fund and at the portfolio company level that provide incentives for management and staff to deliver the best results for our investors. The success of our portfolio companies and the commitment of our staff are at the heart of ECP's investment strategy to deliver superior returns to our investors. |
