KEY TOPICS
Deal-making
African private equity delivered about $2bn in 2022, about a third of the $6.3bn closed across all asset classes in 2022. What type of companies are investors looking to back in the next 18 months, and how are GPs expected to create value and underwrite risk?
Fundraising
Africa’s private equity fundraising plummeted 62% year-on-year, sliding to its lowest level in eight years. Which fund managers will be in the market in the next 18 months and which LPs are expected to back them?
Exits & Returns
Private equity dealers delivered $7.3 billion worth of exits in Africa in 2022, the highest level in four years – beating deals closed in year. How are returns fairing and what are the expectations in the near term?
Venture Capital
Venture capital deal making in Africa dropped off in 2022, shedding almost $400 million in aggregate deal values year-on-year, weighed down by a slump in late-stage deals. Meanwhile about 45% global LPs are finding venture capital technology investments less attractive due to volatility. What is the outlook for the industry in the next 18 months?
Private Credit
African private credit deal-making has hit a record high touching almost $1bn in 2022. The 300% year-on-year spike boosted the $6.3bn invested across all assets in the year, and is about half the $2bn brought in by private equity in the year. What is driving the spike, and where are investors expected to deploy capital in the next 18 months?
