Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at the Gabonese Fund for Strategic Investments?
Investment decisions fall under the authority of the Administrateur Directeur Général. Serge Brice Ngodjou has held this role since February 2025, following Stéphane Mbadinga Ditengou (2023–2024) and Akim Mohamed Daouda (2020–2023). The fund operates within a governance structure shaped by Gabon's public finance laws and is overseen by the Gabonese Republic as its sole stakeholder.
What is the fund's mandate and asset-class focus?
The fund channels Gabonese hydrocarbon and mining revenues into domestic infrastructure, real estate, and energy transition projects. Confirmed holdings include the Kinguélé Aval and Ngoulmendjim hydroelectric power plants, the Baie des Rois mixed-use development in Libreville, and a portfolio of Gabonese carbon credits. It does not publicly report allocations to global public equities.
Does the fund co-invest with external partners?
Yes. The Islamic Development Bank has partnered with the fund as a co-investor through the RISE infrastructure facility. The fund's membership in the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds and its alignment with net-zero alliances provide a framework for additional co-investment relationships with sovereign and development-finance peers.
How does the fund relate to Gabon's climate and carbon-credit strategy?
FGIS is a member of the One Planet Sovereign Wealth Funds network and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, and it holds a direct position in Gabonese carbon credits. Gabon is a net carbon sink, and the fund's hydroelectric and eco-responsible real estate projects are positioned within the country's broader green-development narrative.
What is the fund's governance and transparency posture?
The fund is a full member of the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds and has publicly committed to the Santiago Principles, which provide guidelines on governance, transparency, and investment practices. This membership is the primary external signal available to institutional co-investors assessing the fund's operational discipline.
Is the fund's AUM publicly disclosed?
No. The Gabonese Fund for Strategic Investments does not publish an AUM figure. Its deployment is visible only through the project-level holdings it chooses to disclose, and no third-party source has independently verified a total asset number.
What is the relationship between FGIS and the Gabonese state?
The Gabonese Republic created and wholly owns the fund as its sovereign wealth vehicle. Leadership appointments are state decisions, and the fund's project pipeline mirrors Gabon's national infrastructure priorities, particularly in energy and urban development.
