The frontier markets of Africa are some of the best performing non-correlated markets in the emerging markets sector. With important changes taking place on the continent politically and economically much of the risk in Africa is perceived risk other than actual risk. We are at the forefront of providing a service that will enable investors to navigate investment opportunities in Africa on a single platform. Through a network of trusted partners in sub-Saharan Africa, we provide a multi-user platform where individual and institutional investors can take a hands-on approach utilising our team of specialised consultants. For investors that wish to take a passive role we can provide a tailor-made solution through our network of professionals who will identify the most profitable investments and actively manage them on your behalf through rigorous risk management and a common sense approach to investment allocation.


At Springwood Capital we specialise in emerging African markets and we have identified core areas which we believe offer the best opportunities for growth. We provide short term investors access to African equities, fixed income, and currency trading. For those with a long term view we provide all the instruments to enable successful private equity investments. Wireless telecommunications and clean energy form part of our core private equity strategy. The frontier markets provide some of the most profitable real estate and infrastructure investments. We provide tailor-made solutions for investors that wish to incorporate real estate in their portfolio.
