Capital Alliance Raises $200m For Investment
African Capital Alliance (ACA) has raised $200 million for Capital Alliance Private Equity III (CAPE III) for investment in critical sectors of the economy, a statement from the firm said.
CAPE III is a private equity fund that seeks to tap high potential opportunities in sectors such as financial services, oil and gas, power supply, communications, manufacturing and services in Nigeria and the West Africa sub-region.
ACA mobilises long-term capital from institutional investors to promote private sector-led investments.
With proceeds from the fund, CAPE III will seek to acquire significant interest in companies with high growth potential and up to 40 per cent of the fund may be invested in companies in the energy sector.
Investors in CAPE III comprise well known international development finance institutions such as the CDC group, European Investment Bank, the International Finance Corporation and the Nether lands Development Finance Corporation.
Commitments have also been made by Nigeria based institutional investors, including First Trustees Nigeria Plc, AIICO Insurance Plc, Africa Re-Insurance Corporation and some high net worth individuals.
Economic reforms and liberalisation in Nigeria and other West African Markets, a scarcity of capital and relative availability of attractive assets have created unique private equity investment opportunities.
CAPE III is the latest private equity fund by ACA since its lunch in 1997.
ACA currently manages over $500 million of aggregate capital, including $170 million real estate fund launched in 2008.
ACA is targeting a CAPE III final close with aggregate commitment of $350 million.
