The Fund's approach to take a majority stake in the investee is quite unique
The countries the fund is focusing on (W-Africa, Madagasc.) do not yet have local financial institutions that serves their need in equity finance.
The fund will invest in under-managed and inefficient SMEs. Adenia will acquire a majority stake and bring in their expertise to make the investee more sound, efficient. Often they change management , this is possible because of their majority stake in the business. Close coaching and training to portfolio companies.
