Africa has a special place in Belvedere’s history, as its beginning was intimately linked to the continent. This is why we are focusing our impact efforts on what we consider to be one the main issues that slow down the realisation of the continent’s full potential: the financing gap.

It has become a recurring theme on the continent’s investment landscape: within the infrastructure sector alone, estimates of the financing needs currently they range from $100bn to $140bn p.a. with available resources only amouting to $50bn.

At Belvedere Advisory, we believe that alternative financing solutions and sources of funding are needed to tackle the Africa Financing Gap.

Our long-time exposure to both African and European markets has convinced us that Private Debt would be a perfect tool. While it is estimated that Private Debt represents around $700bn worldwide, the market remains mostly European/North American and almost inexistent in Africa.

OUR AMBITION

Our long-time exposure to both African and European markets has convinced us that Private Debt would be a perfect tool. While it is estimated that Private Debt represents around $700bn worldwide, the market remains mostly European/North American and almost inexistent in Africa.

We have therefore decided to put all our efforts to promote a nascent asset class: Private Debt

We work on fund strategies that will seek to match the needs of project holders looking for long term financing in hard currencies, and investors looking for exposure to real assets in African markets, within a conservative and diversified environment.

Not Afro-optimist, not Afro-pessimist: just Afro-convinced.
