Context Matters

The effective deployment of capital in businesses and other organisations in growth markets requires a local footprint, with the engagement of stakeholders who will be impacted. Africa and other growth markets have a deep bench of professionals. All projects undertaken by Aequalitas Capital Partners include specialist advisors in addition to team members who are entirely placed within the ecosystems being addressed from the perspective of having complementary geographic and domain expertise.

History + Innovation

Experience must be combined with a relentless inclusion of human-centred innovation and design thinking. This experience leads to more deeply understood issues, layered strategies, as well as practical implementation for better outcomes. The team at Aequalitas Capital Partners have relationships with professional networks, academia and think-tanks and we are continually developing our understanding of critical issues related to impact and ESG to evolve our approach in delivering effective solutions for our clients.

Collaboration + Partnership

The private sector, the public sector and Non-Governmental-Organisations as fundamental elements of our societies are often in silos. The complex ecosystems in which we live and operate require true collaboration and partnership, especially given limited resources and interdependencies. The Aequalitas Capital Partners methodology recognises this, applying a stakeholder lens to all projects, seeking opportunities for mutual success where these actors intersect.


The blue and purple colours used in our branding are inspired by Tanzanite, a precious and rare stone found in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa. Tanzanite is pleochroic: it appears to be different colours when viewed from different perspectives. And changing perspectives is exactly what Aequalitas Capital Partners wants to do in how capital is invested and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is implemented for the next horizon of growth, creating capital for inclusion in a just economy.

We believe perspective is multifaceted. The same rare Tanzanite gem, seen from different angles.
