Specific private equity club deals in Africa
Through its extensive network, MCF is seeking to identify and offer to its diversified financial investors’ base, special African investment opportunities in promising sectors with solid fundamentals along with reliable partners, entrepreneurs, and managers.
These special transactions target investment tickets superior to 10 million US dollars for majority stakes or significant minorities with strong influence on governance and a clear exit strategy over a 5 to 7 years horizon.
MCF handles the required due diligence and negotiates transaction terms. Once structured, such a transaction is syndicated with pre-identified potential co-investors.
Once the transaction is closed, MCF will manage and monitor the investment, will put in place the required qualified management, and also prepare for the exit.
