 🎉 🎉 We are very glad to announce a new investment, through our SocialAlpha-Bastion Investment Fund (SAIF). The company is 4G Capital, a leading fintech in Kenya, committed to delivering products and services that bridge the finance gap for Micro, Small and Medium enterprises ( MSMEs) in Africa. This catalytic investment aims to bolster 4G Capital’s mission of empowering underserved entrepreneurs through innovative financial solutions and business training. 📈 According to the IFC’s SME Finance Forum, Africa’s MSME finance gap is USD $331 billion; in Kenya, the finance gap is USD $19 billion. Without access to institutional capital, 72% of MSMEs rely on family or friends for loans and 30% fail due to funding shortages. 🎯 4G Capital provides instant access to unsecured cash loans combined with enterprise training, enabling business growth. This model addresses critical barriers to financial inclusion, such as the lack of collateral and credit assessments, and helps clients establish sustainable and profitable ventures. ✨ To date, the company has positively impacted over one million people and currently serves 177,200 active micro-entrepreneurs, 68% of whom are women. ✨Its clients predominantly operate in agriculture and household consumer goods, leveraging loans to restock inventory or purchase raw materials, ultimately improving their business revenue and household incomes. ✨ By 2030, the company aims to expand its impact to 100 million people. "4G Capital exemplifies how innovation and impact can go hand in hand. Our partnership reflects a mutual dedication to creating scalable solutions that address critical gaps in Africa’s informal economy.” states Delck Wahome, Senior Investment Analyst at AlphaMundi Group Ltd 👏👏 🔗 Learn more about this impactful partnership in https://lnkd.in/eqydzUh9 and more about 4G Capital in www.4g-capital.com #ImpactInvesting #FinancialInclusion #WomenEmpowerment #SustainableDevelopment #AlphaMundiGroup #4GCredit #Kenya #MSMEs #InclusiveFinance

AlphaMundi joins the Impact Europe network!   From November 26–29, AlphaMundi Group Ltd proudly participated in the Impact Week 2024 in Bilbao, organized by Impact Europe. Our Managing Partner, Tim Radjy, and Institutional Partnerships Manager, Juan Pedro Coello de Portugal, engaged in dynamic discussions on topics such as gender and inclusion, Greentech, affordable housing, innovation, and AI, while exploring collaborations with like-minded organizations to strengthen impact investment ecosystems in Europe and Emerging Markets.   A highlight of the week was the unveiling of the European Impact Investing Consortium's market-sizing report (https://zurl.co/qLML) , which revealed that: the European private impact investing market continues its rapid growth (+20% in 2023), now estimated at €190 billion, representing just 2.5% of the €7.6 trillion eligible for impact investing in Europe. The public impact investing market is valued at €40 billion, underscoring the need for more catalytic capital to accelerate progress, as only 17% of the UN SDGs are currently on track.   The conference was enriched by inspiring side events and preceded by the Impact Equity Forum, organized by the European Investment Fund (EIF), European Commission, and European Investment Bank (EIB) - a full day dedicated to advancing impact investments across the region.   This week also marked an exciting milestone for AlphaMundi as we officially joined the Impact Europe network, reinforcing our dedication to market-building initiatives and the growth of impact investing across Europe.   Thank you to Impact Europe, Ship2B Foundation, Social Nest Foundation, Zubi Group, Global Social Impact Investments, and all the incredible organizers and participants who made this week a truly inspiring experience. We look forward to exploring new collaborations and amplifying our shared impact!   #ImpactWeek2024 #ImpactEurope #AlphaMundi #ImpactInvesting #Sustainability #Ship2B #SocialNestFoundation #ZubiGroup #GlobalSocialImpact

AlphaMundi at the FT Africa Summit 2024: “Driving Sustainable Growth across Africa.”    The Financial Times Africa Summit took place on October 29-30, 2024, at London’s Peninsula Hotel, bringing together global leaders, investors, and innovators under the theme of “Driving Sustainable Growth across Africa.” Over a hundred delegates joined to discuss the immense opportunities and pressing challenges facing the continent.    With Africa standing at a pivotal moment, the Summit tackled key topics such as climate resilience, sustainable urban growth, and the potential of the continent’s young, vibrant population. A special highlight of the event was the inaugural Africa Sustainable Futures Awards, co-hosted by the Financial Times and the The World Bank Group's Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency. Recognizing transformative innovation and entrepreneurship, the winners included Sun King, a company transforming the landscape of clean energy access in Sub-Saharan Africa. Sun King secured the Clean Energy Access Finance award for its pioneering KES 130M renewable energy securitization deal. AlphaMundi’s Role and Future Strategy    AlphaMundi Group Ltd’s Managing Partner Tim Radjy attended the summit’s opening day, engaging with the leaders of sustainable development efforts in Africa. AMG’s first Africa-only fund, AlphaJiri, a Mauritius-domiciled debt and equity fund, reached the end of its allocation period in 2023. AMG is now crafting its next investment strategy for Africa, with a focus on sustainable cities and youth employment. With a target launch in 2026, it will mark a pivotal next step in AMG’s engagement across the African continent.    “The top priority is jobs,” emphasized Dr. Paul Collier from the University of Oxford, highlighting also the importance of a vibrant private sector: “What we need is risk capital for African companies, guarantees should apply to entire portfolios and not individual projects. The attempt to avoid risk is a delusion.” This call aligns with AlphaMundi’s investment approach, prioritizing projects that create meaningful employment opportunities. Since 2012, AlphaMundi has invested more than USD 50 million in clean energy, sustainable food and financial inclusion in Sub-Saharan Africa, with portfolio companies creating 155,000 jobs with 38% going to women, avoiding 284,000 CO2 tons, and improving the lives of over 5,5 million beneficiaries.    With thought-provoking statements from leaders like Mo Ibrahim, who stressed the impact of illicit financial flows on Africa’s development, to insights from Dr. Collier on the value of vocational training, and the showcasing of innovative financing models such as 4G Capital’s pioneering approach to financial inclusion, the summit brought together powerful insights for Africa’s future.    Africa stands ready for transformative growth, and AlphaMundi is honored to be part of this journey. #ImpactInvesting #Finance #FinanceTheSDGs #Africa #Development #FinancialTimes

🚨 Achieving the United Nations #SDGs by 2030 seems increasingly out of reach. But by mobilizing traditional assets and shifting from ESG screening to true #ImpactInvesting strategies, we can unlock significant hidden value while averting critical thresholds for humanity and the planet.    In his latest article, published today by ImpactAlpha, Tim Radjy, Founder and Managing Partner of AlphaMundi Group Ltd, analyses the current status of impact investing, the need for a shift in how we value companies, and the importance of regulatory support to scale impact capital.    Impact investing has already proven its ability to deliver competitive returns. From 2020 to 2022, private equity impact investments delivered 25% gross realized returns—surpassing market benchmarks. Yet only 1% of global assets are invested with measurable impact, leaving untapped potential to scale solutions for poverty, climate, and inequality.    To fully realize this potential, we must change how we measure equity value. Traditional valuations fail to account for externalities like carbon emissions, plastic pollution, and deforestation. If corporations had to internalize these costs, this would drastically reshape the financial landscape.    As Tim argues in his article for ImpactAlpha, the next era of investing must go beyond profit and integrate the true environmental and social impacts of business.     Let’s leverage finance as a force for good. https://lnkd.in/dddjCa2D   #ImpactFinance #Sustainability #AlphaMundi #SDG2030 #ESG #EmergingMarkets #Externalities #EquityValue
