Investment Philosophy
Our approach to investment is guided by the philosophy of Africapitalism, which is the private sector’s commitment to Africa’s development through long term investments that create economic prosperity and social wealth.
We are addressing Africa’s infrastructure deficit by mobilising global capital and allocating it to sectors that will power Africa to prosperity. Strong economic fundamentals and technological innovation have enabled us to build one of the largest pan-African banking networks, providing commercial and investment banking, asset management, and insurance services across the continent.
With an installed capacity of 2,000 megawatts, we supply 13-15% of Nigeria’s national grid powering millions of homes. Our 120,000-kilometer power distribution network extends our reach to over 1.8 million customers including Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, businesses, hospitals, and schools—empowering communities in Nigeria and beyond. As a member of the West African Power pool, we are further strengthening regional energy security and economic growth as we drive the continent’s industrialisation.
Our integrated energy strategy connects Africa’s rich resources to its people and economies through strategic investments in oil, gas, and power generation. As operator of OML 17, Heirs Energies has doubled production to 53,000 barrels of oil and 100 MMSCFD of gas per day, showcasing operational excellence. Our gas-to-power initiatives align with Nigeria’s domestic gas policy, delivering energy solutions that power homes and businesses. Rooted in Africapitalism, we drive industrial growth, energy security, and social impact, transforming communities and shaping Africa’s future.
We stand at the intersection of infrastructure, investment, and guest experience, driving economic growth and global tourism. As custodians of one of Africa’s largest land banks and property portfolios, our presence spans the 1,000-key Transcorp Hilton Abuja and prime commercial and residential developments across Nigeria. With travel rebounding and lifestyle-driven spaces on the rise, the sector is evolving—embracing technology, sustainability, and unique guest experiences. With the launch of Abuja’s first-of-its-kind 5,000-capacity event space, Transcorp Centre, we have again set a new benchmark in luxury, hospitality, and world-class service, reinforcing Africa’s position as a global hub for hospitality and real estate investment.
By integrating technology and medical expertise, we are contributing to a healthier Africa, where world-class care is within reach for all. Through Avon HMO, we have impacted over 230,000 lives, providing coverage across 2,500 hospitals worldwide and introducing specialised health plans to combat critical illnesses, ensuring people live healthier, fuller lives. Avon Medical is redefining patient care, with a 27-bed hospital situated in the heart of Lagos and 7 on-site clinics, we have treated over 43,000 patients, while our Avon Dialysis Centre has delivered over 45,000 life-saving dialysis sessions.
Driving Africa’s digital transformation requires cutting-edge technology solutions and a robust payment infrastructure. By equipping businesses with the tools to scale and innovate, and enabling seamless, secure, and inclusive electronic payments, the foundation for a thriving digital economy is being built. With investments in technical expertise and next-generation solutions, technology is shaping a future that empowers businesses and individuals across Africa.
