Specialists in African and Caribbean Markets
Headquartered in the U.S., with offices in Africa, GIP offers institutional and high net worth investors a platform to get exposure to what we believe are the last investment frontiers. Africa and the Caribbean have a reservoir of untapped potential across all sectors and an acute shortage of growth capital.
We have built expertise and a disciplined process to effectively deploy patient investment capital into well researched, founder led companies that offer the greatest promise in creating a large footprint and becoming leading industry players in the future.
Our Investment Team is Made Up of a Tried and Tested Team of Experts with Diverse Backgrounds and Wide Ranging Experience in Different Sectors
Most of them have previously founded and run their own companies, which gives them unique perspective, insight and operational expertise. This strengthens our overall in-house portfolio selection capability.
In addition to investing, we parlay our best-in-class industry knowledge, hands-on experience and investing acumen to offer advisory and consultancy services to our diverse clientele that includes investors, family offices, private companies, pension funds, public institutions and governments. We understand what it takes to support our clients and their needs and have made attention to detail and excellent customer service the hallmarks of our service delivery.
Our Values
Our Vision
To Become The Investment Vehicle of Choice for Global Investors Looking for Value and Returns in Frontier Markets.
We believe and see it every day that Africa is ready for significant investment as one of the last remaining frontier markets and the only region expected to have rising growth rates over the next 20 years.
Our Mission
To Put our Expertise in Frontier Markets to Work in Building World Class Companies With High Risk Adjusted Returns.
We aim to change Africa’s future one investment at a time and build the next generation of global companies. Currently, there is a secular wealth shift from developed to developing countries. Africa is slowly awakening and taking its position at the forefront of this capital movement.
