Around the clock and across the globe with focus on Africa, we invest in great ideas-but great ideas don’t invent themselves. We empower people to build expertise, challenge consensus, and bring their ideas to life.

What We Do-

COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE

Axe Capital an Africa centric and multi-strategy asset management firm focused on value-oriented investment opportunities in the African region. As an equity long-short firm with a macro-overlay focusing primarily on Africa. The firm’s objective is to maximise risk-adjusted absolute returns, requiring a balance of capital appreciation and capital protection. We seek to achieve this objective by providing debt financing in high-quality Africa-focused companies at the right price and for the long term, while using short stock and macro positions to generate returns and protect capital, allowing the firm to hold conviction long positions through the hard times..
