What we invest in

Businesses that produce here and sell everywhere.

We invest in medium- and large-scale enterprises that make locally what Malawi imports, earn foreign exchange and create lasting jobs.

What we look for

Medium to large scale

Established businesses, or new ventures with the backing to reach scale.

Local production

Making in Malawi what the country imports today.

Export potential

A credible route to earning foreign exchange.

Strong operators

Management teams we can build alongside for the long term.

Agriculture & agro-processing
01 / 05

Agriculture & agro-processing

Malawi’s economy is built on the land. When crops leave the country unprocessed, the value, and the jobs, leave with them. We back businesses that process, package and brand more of what Malawi grows.

We look for

  • Processing capacity that replaces imported finished goods
  • Strong outgrower and supplier networks
  • Products with a credible path to regional export
Manufacturing
02 / 05

Manufacturing

Every product made here instead of imported saves foreign exchange and builds industrial skill. We look for manufacturers ready to scale from serving a niche to serving the country and its neighbours.

We look for

  • Clear import-substitution opportunity
  • Experienced operators with a track record
  • Room to expand capacity with additional capital
Mining & minerals
03 / 05

Mining & minerals

Malawi’s mineral resources can become a major source of export earnings, if they are developed responsibly and more processing happens in-country. We take a long, careful view of the sector.

We look for

  • Credible environmental and community commitments
  • Local beneficiation or processing potential
  • Partners with sector-specific operating experience
Energy
04 / 05

Energy

No factory, farm or mine can grow without dependable power. We back energy businesses that make supply more reliable and affordable for the enterprises that depend on it.

We look for

  • Generation or distribution that serves productive users
  • Proven technology suited to local conditions
  • Contracted or clearly evidenced demand
Infrastructure & logistics
05 / 05

Infrastructure & logistics

For a landlocked country, the cost of moving goods shapes the competitiveness of everything else. We invest in storage, transport and logistics businesses that bring those costs down.

We look for

  • Assets that relieve a known bottleneck
  • Links to regional trade corridors
  • Operators who understand cross-border trade
