The investment process

The process of selecting a new investment strategy begins with a “macro phase” in which New Frontier Capital Partners searches East Africa to find regions with favorable macro elements, such as economic growth, political stability, and promising demographics. The investment selection process is intensive. In a complex and dynamic economy such as Ethiopia’s, for example, New Frontier Capital Partners has tracked macro trends for years — gathering insights through both formal and informal contacts with experts.

Once a region has been identified as having favorable macro-dynamics, New Frontier Capital Partners enters its “micro phase,” and studies the area for an extended period in order to devise a particular strategy to capitalize on the specific investment opportunity which has the potential to realize superior returns. Based on knowledge and experience, New Frontier Capital Partners selects the strategy most appropriate for a specific opportunity, whether it is equity, quasi-equity, debt, or structured finance.
