Overview of Investor

Adinah is an investment management company focused on investing in private companies and taking advantage of unlisted investment opportunities in new and old companies that are innovative, disruptive and solve structural inefficiencies in the value and supply chain of companies and economies.

Adinah was founded in 2013 with the sole focus of making private company, start-up venture and tactical investments in South and Sub-Saharan Africa. It was consciously set up as an owner led and managed, “new” South African company, cognizant of the dignity and responsibility towards the countries and its people in which it conducts business.

The Adinah bespoke investment solution strives to generate an attractive risk adjusted return and create lasting value for the companies in which we invest and for the communities with whom we interact. We believe that this will ultimately lead to sustained value creation for investors in the medium to long term through greater job creation opportunities, better paying jobs, enhanced working conditions and improving the skills of workers.
