PCM Capital Partners

PCM Capital Partners ('PCP") manages the West African Emerging Markets Growth Fund ("WAEMGF"). Founded in 2010, PCP is an affiliate of Phoenix Capital Management SA ("PCM"), one of the leading full-service investment banks in the West African Economic and Monetary Union ("WAEMU"), with leadership positions in Asset Management. PCP is domiciled in Mauritius and has an advisory agreement with PCM Capital Advisors (“PCA”), headquartered in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire with a representative office in Accra, Ghana. PCA acts as the “on the ground” entity responsible for deal origination all the way through to exits of the Fund’s investments.

Investment Strategy and Philosophy

Through straight and quasi-equity structures, PCP seeks to be as hands-on as possible, helping its companies improve governance, transparency, operational efficiency and human resources. PCP’s investment philosophy is focused on growth capital, which is most often a minority investment in companies that are looking for capital to expand or restructure operations, enter new markets or finance a significant acquisition without a change of control of the business. These companies will often do so in order to finance a transformational event in their life cycle. They are likely to be mature and generate revenue and operating profits but unable to generate sufficient cash to fund major expansions, acquisitions or other investments.
