VENTURES AFRICA – Private Equity Africa (PEA), the industry publication for fund managers, investors and advisors, today announced its inaugural fundraising forum to educate struggling managers on fundraising.
The forum ‘Executing a Successful Fundraising Strategy’ which will be held in London next week will bring together leading industry experts, investors and advisors from some of Europe and Africa’s top private equity firms, fund-of-fund managers and law firms to discuss the latest trends and best practice in: fundraising, fund marketing, due diligence and investor and media relations.
Despite the opportunities that Africa offers as one of the great frontier markets, many fund managers “find it difficult to raise funds for Africa,” with over 200 managers looking to raise funds in excess of $5 billion for Africa.
“We are delighted to be announcing our first ever conference which will provide fund managers with valuable insight into how to successfully raise an Africa fund,” Gail Mwamba, Editor of Private Equity Africa said.
The conference will include a fundraising masterclass which will cover best practice in fund marketing regulations, compliance and reporting.
The masterclass will be followed by a series of presentations and panel discussions led by industry specialists, analysis of LP allocation strategies and case studies from leading funds on how they have successfully raised money.
