AAC announces it is raising a new investment fund for African agriculture
Friday, 22 January 2010 00:00

AAC has today completed its Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) for the AAC Fund, a $25m Mauritius-domiciled closed end fund focused on providing capital to Small Growing Businesses (SGBs) operating in the agriculture value chain in East Africa.

The AAC Fund has been designed to deliver competitive financial returns to its investors, together with high social and developmental returns accruing from investing in a neglected but critical sector. It will invest between US$200,000 and US$2 million per SGB using a range of equity and quasi-equity instruments tailored to the needs of the individual investee.

The AAC Fund will be managed by AAC’s current management team, based in Kampala, Uganda.
