Silk Invest aims to achieve long-term capital appreciation mainly by investing in frontier markets in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Their investment capabilities cover various asset classes and include, but are not limited to, equities, fixed income and private equity. The firm combines a bottom-up based approach that starts with input from locally based research investment managers and a committed investment team overseen from London with a Chief Investment Officer that steers the investment decision process from the top-down. This allows the firm to get deep local insights on companies while maintaining a centralized oversight on the portfolio level.
