ESG at the heart of our financings.

Financial performance and positive impact can — and must — go hand in hand: this conviction is reflected in our analytical process, in the structures we recommend and in the partners we select.
Our areas of expertise
01
Four practices. One shared standard.
From strategic scoping to execution, across the entire financing and transaction cycle.
Advisory to Governments and Corporates
The transactions we advise on commit public resources over decades, structure private wealth across generations, or reposition institutions at the scale of a continent. We bring to them sharp analytical acuity, technical mastery of complex financing, and the independence of judgement these decisions demand.
Financing Structuring
Structuring a financing means anticipating regulatory constraints, market uncertainties, lender requirements and the operational imperatives of the project. Every arrangement we design is built for the project, its stakeholders and the markets that will finance it — with the rigour such complex transactions demand.
Mergers & Acquisitions
An M&A transaction in Africa involves dimensions beyond methodological rigour alone: shareholding structures, local regulatory contexts, and relationship dynamics that condition access to opportunities and the outcome of negotiations. We act on both sides of the deal, with precise knowledge of these environments.
Fundraising
Fundraising is an exercise in conviction as much as technique. Convincing the right investors, with the right arguments, at the right time and in the right format. We act across the entire process — from building the financial narrative to final negotiations — mobilising a network of institutional and regional investors active in African markets.
Our sectors of focus
Multi-sector expertise in the service of the continent.
In our approach, financial mastery and sector knowledge are inseparable.
Energy
01
Energy & Natural Resources
Structuring of thermal, renewable, oil and gas projects.
Healthcare
02
Healthcare
Hospital infrastructure and large-scale public health projects.
Public
03
Infrastructure & Public Sector
Roads, transport, industrial buildings and public facilities.
Our clients
Demanding mandates. Clients who stake their reputation on them.
High-stakes transactions — financial, political, institutional. It is the nature of these mandates that defines the standards we set for ourselves.
Sovereign States and Governments
They have development commitments that span generations. We support them in designing and securing long-term financing, the strategic management of their public debt, and the structuring of operations that deploy national resources with rigour and discernment.
Public Agencies and Parapublic Entities
Acting as a bridge between political will and economic implementation, they undertake projects that neither the public sector alone nor the private market could finance on their own. We help them to develop innovative financing structures, ensure the bankability of their projects and navigate often complex regulatory environments.
Financial Institutions, Corporates and Groups
From raising capital to asset refinancing, including external growth initiatives, we support their regional development strategies with the same level of commitment as if it were our own project.
Sponsors and Project Developers
They devise and launch projects that transform African economies. We provide them with the financial rigour, organisational expertise and network that enable these projects to secure funding — and to succeed.
