Investing in businesses and opportunities across East Africa

Nimble Investment Management invests its own capital across sectors and asset classes in Kenya and East Africa. We assess each opportunity on its merits and take an active role where our involvement can contribute to the business’s development.

Based in Kenya. Focused on East Africa.

Nimble is based in Kenya and considers investment opportunities across East Africa. Its regional focus reflects an interest in businesses and markets where it can develop a sound understanding of the opportunity and contribute through capital and active engagement.

An independent approach to investment

We consider opportunities across different sectors and stages of business development, and aim to build a clear understanding of the business before committing capital.

01

We start with the business

We examine the opportunity, the market it operates in, the people responsible for the business and the factors that will determine its prospects.

02

We decide on the merits

Nimble is not restricted to one sector. The decision depends on whether the investment fits the firm's objectives, capabilities and appetite for risk.

03

We stay involved

Where Nimble invests, its role may extend beyond providing capital, and may include working with owners and management on priorities for growth.
