Africa Alternative Investment Intensive (AAII) – 4TH NY Forum | Africonomie | 19 September 2017 | Norton Rose Fulbright, New York, United States, Norton Rose Fulbright, 1301 Ave of the Americas, New York, NY 10019, United States

Although still a nascent industry, private equity is arguably the only alternative asset class well positioned to give institutional investors access to Africa's private markets. Infrastructure and real assets have struggled to attract significant institutional capital, whilst alternative credit and private debt are overlooked by debt funds. Given the limited data and knowledge, many have of these asset classes and markets, the confidence to distribute allocations is held back by the concern of undue risk exposure.
