Africa's Sovereign Wealth Funds and State-owned Investors are helping lead the charge to grow and diversify their countries' economies. They are investing in infrastructure, industries and jobs; and they are leveraging their assets to crowd-in private capital, co-investors and project partners.

This website is dedicated to tracking, profiling and analysing the commercial transactions and impact investments of African SWFs.
It is also the leading platform for thought leadership on state-owned investors and state-sponsored investment vehicles in Africa.
