"Development Partners International LLP (DPI) is the investment
adviser to ADP I, a private equity fund that invests across Africa.
Our focus is on companies benefiting from the fast-growing emerging
middle class. We work throughout Africa and see the benefits of
investing in the fast-growing and newly liberalising countries in
Africa.
Our Focus
We expect the fund to invest in a wide variety of companies across
the continent, with a view towards not concentrating on any one country,
region or industry. We have a focus on companies that provide products
and services for the fast-emerging African middle class, which we
believe offer the most compelling investment profiles.
These include, but are not limited to the following industries:
financial services, fast moving consumer goods, pharmaceutical and
health and housing. We also expect the fund to take advantage of
strategic opportunities with significant upside, including, among
others, resource-based businesses to take advantage of Africa’s oil,
natural gas and mineral riches.
Where We Invest
ADP I can invest throughout Africa, with a focus on increasing
investments in the fast-growing post-conflict and newly liberalising
African countries.
Our Criteria for Investment
We consider profitable or cash-flow positive companies which are
growing either organically or through acquisitions, or partnering with
established corporations expanding into new regions in Africa. They
should offer ADP I the ability to exit over the lifetime of the
investment.
The companies’ management must be experienced, and committed to
transparency; with a clear corporate strategy designed to create value
for shareholders...."
