Investment Opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa

Africa’s changing political and economic landscape over recent decades offers investment prospects worthy of consideration. In this report, we address the key opportunities and risks associated with public (long-only and hedge funds) and private market investing in sub-Saharan Africa, with an emphasis on Frontier Africa. We find that public markets exhibit attractively low correlations to global markets and valuations that do not appear stretched while private markets offer access to sectors and companies that should capture the rapid economic growth in the region.
