Private Equity & Assets Management

The principals of Emason Finance believe that the firm is well placed to serve as a ‘bridge’ between Africa, on the one hand, and Europe and North America, on the other and that our approach will yield opportunities to spawn attractive risk-adjusted returns in the complex but relatively inefficient and uncompetitive region while, at the same time, contributing to the socio-economic development of the continent.

Emason Finance Private Equity is a pan-African focused private investment arm of the group. Established over 10 years ago and led by co-founding partners, it is one of the leading Independent private equity firms focusing on Africa.

The investment experience of the members of our team has been gained from decades of collective experience in private equity, in some of the world’s most competitive and demanding markets

Our team has significant experience in private equity investing across a broad range of industries and investment types – leveraged buyouts, recapitalisations, joint ventures, seed-stage venture capital, restructurings, and strategic equity investments.

Equally significantly, members of our team possess important operational expertise derived from our collective involvement in the conceptualisation, creation and development of several new businesses in various markets and from having played critical operating roles in corporate turnaround situations.

We believe that Emason Finance’s blend of deep knowledge of the African market, extensive investment experience, the capability to add value to portfolio company operations, and strong network of reliable and trusted local financial, industrial and governmental contacts positions us well to identify and execute on attractive investment opportunities in the region.
