Sonanz is a fund manager with a thematic focus on sectors that are
essential for the future of society: financial services, renewable energy, sustainable food & agriculture and affordable healthcare.
We invest in businesses that adopt new technologies
to cater to the specific demands in Growth Markets.
The need for essential products is massive among emerging consumers but remains
largely underserved. Companies that meet this demand will generate competitive returns
to investors as well as value for society.
Local businesses are ideally positioned to supply customers with the right services.
In our view, the best way to reach and support these companies is to invest with the best
investment teams on the ground. Sonanz has developed relationships with a large number of
specialised fund managers that are beyond the reach of most investors today.
Great importance is placed on environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards to
avoid exploitation of people and planet. At Sonanz, we are motivated by the positive impact
generated by the portfolio companies and monitor it by tracking relevant indicators.
Our first fund, a private equity fund-of-funds with a focus on early- and growth-stage
companies in Asia, Africa and Latin America, was launched in 2017.
Our Advisory Board consists of exceptional persons providing us with hands-on support. All members are leading experts in their respective fields and share a strong interest in helping Sonanz reach its goals.
