Nimble Investment Management Ltd deploys its own capital across sectors and asset classes in Kenya and East Africa, considering established businesses and early-stage ventures.
Nimble Investment Management Ltd is a Kenyan investment firm deploying principal capital across sectors and asset classes in Kenya and East Africa. The firm considers a range of opportunities rather than following a single-sector investment thesis.
Nimble’s approach is based on independent assessment, timely decision-making and an active understanding of the businesses in which it invests. The firm seeks opportunities where its capital and involvement have a clear purpose.
Investment opportunities differ in their scale, stage and requirements. Nimble assesses each one individually, considering the business, its market, its leadership and the work required to realise its potential. The firm’s role will vary from one investment to another, depending on the needs of the business and the terms of the investment.
Independent assessment of each opportunity.
We review the business model, market, financial position, leadership and plans for growth. The work required varies with the stage and complexity of each opportunity.
We consider both the potential for growth and the risks involved before committing capital.
We consider whether the opportunity fits Nimble’s objectives and whether the proposed terms reflect the risks and potential outcomes.
Involvement is shaped by the investment and the needs of the business, and may include working with owners and management on priorities for growth.
Based in Kenya, considering opportunities across East Africa.
