Actis Wealth Management

The firm draws on the Actis platform's on-the-ground presence in emerging markets, with offices in London, Mumbai, Nairobi, and other hubs. Actis has built a network of local partners and government relationships over two decades, giving its wealth management arm access to infrastructure and energy deals that are not broadly marketed. Public records show the firm has co-invested with multilateral institutions like the International Finance Corporation (per IFC, 2021).

The firm participates in both structures. As part of the Actis group, it co-invests alongside Actis-managed funds, but it also makes direct equity investments in infrastructure and real estate projects. The parent Actis has raised multiple closed-end funds for energy and infrastructure (per Actis, 2024), and the wealth management arm can commit capital to those vehicles or take direct stakes in underlying portfolio companies.

The firm does not disclose a formal exclusion list beyond its focus on infrastructure and real assets. However, public filings of the Actis group indicate a focus on energy transition, renewables, and sustainable infrastructure, with past divestments from coal-related assets (per Actis, 2022). The firm has not publicly expressed a view on sectors like luxury, media, or financial technology.

The firm focuses on growth equity and late-stage infrastructure investments. Typical entry points are operational projects with long-term offtake agreements (e.g., power purchase agreements) or companies with proven business models in emerging markets. The firm does not engage in venture capital or early-stage startups, instead targeting assets with stable cash flows and inflation-linked revenue structures.
