Investment Strategy
Strategic Investment Approach
AGI Limited invests either in controlling interests or at least in influential stakes in both private businesses and publicly quoted companies. In the latter case, we aim to achieve private equity-style returns through rigorous active ownership. Our investment strategy is designed to build a portfolio focused on Africa to become an attractive, boutique African private equity company.
Portfolio Structuring and Flexibility
We are driven by investment in mature businesses yielding a return on investment via dividends and or interest-bearing loans. Our venture capital investment or early-stage investment projects are in partnership with associated company Agape Africa Holdings Limited or its subsidiary, the African Growth and Private Equity – Protected Cell Company.
Investment Focus and Transaction Size
AGI Limited targets transactions with an enterprise value of US$5m – US$50m, though both larger and smaller transactions will be considered. Our investment focus remains broad yet within core sectors, including but not limited to expansion or late-stage development capital situations, and management buy-outs and buy-ins. We back strong management teams and motivate them with equity participation in their companies. As active investors, we sit on the investee company boards to influence strategic decisions, accelerate growth, and drive value creation and transparency.
Long-term Capital Growth and Exit Strategy
AGI Limited structures its investments to provide seniority to existing equity investors and guarantee interim cash flows while retaining the full upside available to equity investors. This often involves using preference shares or convertible debt instruments. Consistent with our strategy of investing for long-term capital growth, we typically hold investments for around three to five years. However, we have no pre-defined constraints on the holding period and consider potential exits on a case-by-case basis. Where realistic value-creation plans require more time to implement, we may hold investments for a longer period.
