The central premise of the team’s rigorous impact framework is that investing in innovative, technology-enabled companies that create private-sector jobs can generate long-term sustainable social impact and superior financial returns for investors.
Our approach
Frontier markets have, for a long time, offered the promise of high returns driven by structural dynamics. However, investor returns have historically failed to match this structurally higher GDP growth, due to the elevated macro volatility associated with these markets.
Sturgeon believes that resilient businesses driven by secular trends can deliver superior returns in-line with high GDP growth irrespective of any economic volatility. To find out more about our approach to investing in frontier markets and current funds, please get in touch.
