The gap
Africa’s allocation gap is a coverage gap.
Every input an institution needs already exists. Almost none of it is comparable. So African exposure gets sized slowly, unevenly, and often not at all.
Where Africa stands
<2%
Africa’s share of $130T+ in global institutional assets under management.
The continent receives less institutional capital than its fundamentals warrant. The gap is structural, and much of it is informational.
40-60%
longer deal evaluation than emerging Asia, where it runs 15-20%.
28%
of key indicators update monthly, against 70%+ in Latin America and Asia.
2x
higher forecast deviation where information is inconsistent across sources.
The cost
Uneven information becomes a risk premium on African capital.

Who it is for
For the institutions shaping how capital moves to and across Africa.
Asset managers, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, development finance institutions, endowments and foundations, family offices, advisors, sophisticated investors, and research and policy teams. Whether they allocate capital, advise on it, analyze it, or shape the conditions around it, the work runs on the same standard.
One system for where capital should move, when conditions shift, and how African markets evolve.
