The Superpower Africa Fund is Africa’s first hyper-precision investment fund, designed to provide quick and affordable capital to Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) and clean-tech businesses across Africa.

Unlike other funds, the Superpower Africa Fund finances at the individual customer or contract level. It utilizes real-time data analysis for better risk assessment and focuses on minigrid, C&I and other cleantech sectors.

Investors can expect returns of 8-12% in (real) USD terms.

Every asset or company included in the fund has a digital trail. The performance of each asset or investment can be monitored online in real-time, and metrics such as carbon mitigation are automated and fully traceable.

The fund leverages advanced data analytics techniques to aggregate high-value DRE customers and contracts into bankable assets. It diversifies investments across companies and geographies, reducing various risks. Additionally every loan is calculated including a factoring of the forecasted receivables. This means there is a ‘buffer’ that ensures that even if the receivables are significantly lower than forecast, the borrower is still receiving enough revenue to service the loan payments.

The fund achieves high-impact returns from only unlocking nodes of untapped economic potential in Africa that can also bring about economic and social benefits. We believe that achieving impact does not equate to lower financial returns. In fact, quite the opposite. For example, there is significant evidence to suggest that investing in female owned businesses can actually yield better returns than investments made into male owned businesses.
