Introduction
The fiduciary world expends much effort and resources in
establishing suitable structures for the migration of wealth out of
Africa, particularly South Africa. However, little thought is given
to the vast opportunities for inward investment into the African
continent itself, investment that will also require structures.
Over the past few years Dixcart has seen a steady stream of
enquiries for structuring investments into the Africa for family
offices, Private Equity (PE) Houses and groups of mutual interest
investors. Structures are usually bespoke and often feature an ESG
(environment, social and governance) investment strategy.
What has been particularly interesting is the high number of
acquisitions or investments targeted at the sub-Saharan region
ranging from process and production facilities, mining and mineral
exploration, through to infrastructure projects such as renewable
energy and water.
