June 2011 VITAL CAPITAL'S Eytan Stibbe Addresses the Private Equity International (PEI) Africa Forum 2011 LONDON, UK – Vital Capital’s Chief Investment Officer and Founding Partner, Mr Eytan Stibbe, spoke to more than 200 private equity professionals assembled here for a two-day conference on investing in Africa. This year marks the third annual gathering for PEI’s growing Africa Forum. Last year, 2010, saw more than $1.48 billion raised for private equity funds for Africa, with promise for even larger commitments in 2011, as more investors look ever more deeply at this exciting and emerging market. Of particular interest to conference attendees this year is the identified need for more than $120 billion in infrastructure backlog in Africa.With a track record of more than 25 years of successfully undertaking complex infrastructure projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, Mr Stibbe was asked by PEI to address the Conference on his views on such market opportunities. Specifically, conference attendees were interested in what it takes to deliver projects of scale in Africa and how they are exited, how governments are partnering on such projects, and what types of projects are most of interest to private equity investors. Responding to a question from the audience on the subject of Impact Investing as an emerging asset class in infrastructure projects, Mr Stibbe said, “Impact Investing can only be profitable if you invest in people first, not just a market alone. We have experience in agriculture and housing at scale and we have been successful because we are focused on building communities. By building communities you create stability and commerce – you deliver in fact an economy. This is the way to develop emerging markets and it starts with an investment in people – then profit always will follow”. Vital Capital’s first portfolio investment, Kora Housing, is a home ownership project of 40,000 units in Angola. |
