Private Equity Desk

CDH Capital has recently set up a Private Equity Desk which offers, as a part of its Capital Market services, Private Equity as a new service specially to local, large and medium size companies looking to raise equity / quasi-equity from financial investors locally, regionally and internationally.

Private equity services have been gathering momentum in Rwanda as the Government encourages local businesses to boost local production and services to manage macroeconomic indicators.

What is Private Equity? – These are investments, amongst others, in private companies / businesses where private investors believe high future growth potential exists. These private investors bring in additional capital and expertise to help them grow. Private investors have the choice either to stay or exit by selling their private stakes to existing or new investors.

CDH has been involved in several significant private deals.

Our approach is to build a platform to allow large and medium size private entities to interact with potential private investors with CDH as intermediary. We offer investment banking and financial advisory services to these private entities for them to access additional funds under different conditions.

We leverage our local experience and local, regional and international private equity investors' network with our regional partners to provide tailor made solutions to clients.
