Hamiworth Fund I — targeting final close in Q1 2028.
Our first closed-end vehicle takes the Group's operating model and puts capital behind it: raise, invest in Africa, build the business, create value, return it. Fund size will be announced at first close.
We publish only what is confirmed. Terms, size and jurisdictional detail are shared under NDA with qualified investors during formation.

Confirmed at first close
Four disciplines the fund will not trade away.
Control, not passive exposure
We take positions we can govern. Where the Group already controls the platform — as with Ubuntu Africa Group and Visal International — capital sits alongside execution rather than above it.
Trade infrastructure first
Ports and logistics, digital trade rails, project finance for construction, energy, mining and agriculture. Assets that move goods, not narratives.
Operator underwriting
Every mandate is underwritten by people who have built and run businesses in these markets, against written standards and a named delivery plan.
Governed and screened
Investment committee approval, independent Sharia screening at fund and asset level, and structured periodic reporting to limited partners.
Formation-stage conversations are open.
Nothing on this page is an offer or a solicitation. Participation is by invitation and subject to eligibility, documentation and jurisdictional restrictions.
Institutional allocators
Development finance institutions, pension and sovereign capital seeking governed African exposure with named delivery accountability.
