OUR VALUES

Key values that shape our business initiatives in Africa and dealings with global clients and partners include:

Discipline:

We are singularly dedicated to delivering superior returns to investors through disciplined investing and partnering. We employ a disciplined investment approach to create portfolios that seek to maximize returns and minimize risk through diversification. When we seek potential strategic partners and target companies in which to employ our own or affiliate capital, we are unwavering in our insistence on characteristics that meet our opportunity selection matrix. It is a commitment to value investing with a focus on quality.

Integrity & Trust:

Long before coming to ACP, our advisory and key management personnel were already professionals of integrity who for years earned the trust and loyalty of clients whose portfolios they profitably managed in East Africa, Europe and the United States. This personal integrity translates into a mirror of trust at ACP.

Authenticity:

Even though our senior managing partners boast U.S. training and work experience totaling decades, all are natives of Africa. This enables us to combine regional knowledge with global standards to offer effective leadership in the African markets. This positions us ahead of all North American Emerging Markets players in analyzing indigenous factors and trends that are bound to impact on regional markets.

Customization:

Tailored service is key to our philosophy. We do not sell one-size-fits-all products. We go out of our way to tailor our services to customer requirements. Separate accounts can be customized for client preferences toward risk, benchmarks, countries and industries.

Teamwork:

Our management style is teamwork. Although key strategists lead specific taskforces and provide leadership on individual accounts, we consolidate our talents, strengths and synergies into developing all client products.

Ethics & Excellence:

We strive for high ethical standards in all our dealings.

Client satisfaction:

Our clients come first, period.
