Sonanz is a fund manager with a thematic focus on Essential Sectors in Growth Markets
in Africa, Asia and Latin America: renewable energy, sustainable food & agriculture, affordable healthcare and financial services.
The demand for essential products is massive among Emerging Consumers but remains largely unmet.
Businesses that offer solutions for this market segment will benefit from favourable macro prospects and strong demographics.
Through a fund-of-funds model, we invest in companies that adopt new technologies to improve access, quality or affordability of
essential products and services or that offer more sustainable alternatives to existing solutions.
Local businesses are ideally positioned to supply customers with the right services given their unique local market expertise.
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 private equity and venture capital fund managers that are
typically beyond the reach of most investors today.
Great importance is placed on environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards to reduce risk and to avoid exploitation of people and planet.
Our first fund, a private equity fund-of-funds with a focus on funds investing in 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.
