"A network constituted of transaction referral agreements established with private equity funds, debt funds, investment banks and advisory firms."
Frontier Alliance
Frontier Alliance is a network of financial institutions and funds that specialise in the provision of transactional services including project funding, multi-currency debt management, structuring of investment instruments, advisory and corporate financing. Through this network of institutions and funds, the Alliance acts as a gateway that provides access to investors, distribution outlets for fixed income instruments and a sophisticated level of expertise in the execution of specific transactions.
Financial institutions which participate within the Alliance, include sub-Saharan desks of global investment banks, private equity funds, hedge funds, advisory firms and boutique firms looking to diversify their portfolios as well as start-up funds sourcing for investment opportunities that can provide targeted returns. On the deal-flow side, we source for transactions originated through credible channels that typically offer a 3-5 year return on investment. Some funds are sector specific others are non-sector specific.
​
The platform was formed out of the necessity to bridge the gap between investors sourcing for attractive investment opportunities within frontier markets and transactions yielding attractive returns. In a bid to overcome regional obstacles prevalent in frontier economies, the Alliance was structured specifically to include strategic firms that could execute complex mandates in challenging environments, who also possessed a high-level of market expertise to provide the requisite clarity of direction and expediency at the transactional review stage.
​
The Alliance also consists of funds that have recently been created by institutions for the sole purpose of investing in African economies. Achieving a perfectly weighted portfolio is a delicate task in an economic climate characterised by acute market fluctuations. For established or newly created funds, the Alliance provides a network for managers to communicate and fulfill their portfolio diversification objectives whilst satisfying defined risk parameters.
